The Hague? The court that Americans can't be tried at because they don't recognize the ICCs jurisdiction and are not a member of the Rome statute?

Real problems don't have liberal solutions. The Americans deserve far worse.

He's experimenting on your children to work through his own ignorance.

This tweet is conflating two different countries, Guinea and Guinea-Bissau, using their names interchangeably. The linked article is solely about the latter.

We can't do much with the US researchers, because noets face it, that third world banana republic doesn't care about dead babies, only dead fetuses

The Danish researchers, though, those should be arrested and jailed

[–] Eldritch_Alyx@lemmy.world 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So the US are experimenting on foreign newborns?

Real pro-life there, buddy.

[–] PlaidBaron@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The US is a rogue state. What do you expect?

in collaboration with researchers in Denmark

So much for a utopian socialist society (pay no attention to those men behind the green curtain!)

thank fuck, jesus fucking christ how evil can one administration be

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 7 points 17 hours ago

They know they can't (currently) do studies like this in the US, but they can in other countries.

RFK jr. Is an indirect serial killer, that is my theory. He had his ex-wife and a few other people he knew commit suicide due to his abuse.

No, no, look - they are pro-life. Just not this life in particular. This life can go fuck itself.

SCIENCE is BAD so we're going to Give BABIES Diseases for Science!

-Republicans but LITERALLY!

[–] FosterMolasses@leminal.space 4 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

At this point, Republicans are just cinobites. Pain and suffering is good, anything that removes it is bad.

Dead for many, many years.

[–] JensSpahnpasta@feddit.org 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And you kind of know already that this study will be manipulated so that is shows that vaccination is bad and then millions of people will be harmed.

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 1 points 17 hours ago

Given that he said things like 'we will know by september' for some studies and come that date he has 'data' to prove his point. All of it is bullshit and all he knows is that no matter what there will be shit that he can twist into proving his claim.

[–] Armok_the_bunny@lemmy.world 44 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm seeing some conflicting reports indicating that study might have been canceled, there's conflicting information from different sources. Still awful that this was even considered in the first place.

[–] naught101@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I found this Guardian Article pretty comprehensive. In includes and explains the uncertainty about the status.

[–] Armok_the_bunny@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago

Because I've seen conflicting reports and I don't want to inadvertently spread misinfo.

So we are at the eugenics part of the Amerikkklan Nazi Regime.

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 37 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Nah. The US has always done shit like this to minorities, domestically and abroad.

Some experiments on US citizens:

[–] logi@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

For some extra fun, search for Denmark Greenland and forced contraceptives. It gives more flavour to how the toddler in chief is demanding that somebody get him Greenland.

[–] galaxy_nova@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Yeah one reason among many why many black people (and maybe other poc?) don’t trust the healthcare system in the us.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 5 points 1 day ago

The US never actually stopped it, really.

[–] yetAnotherUser@discuss.tchncs.de -1 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)

I don't see the point of the study tbh. ~~But neither the outrage~~. Mostly because not every country vaccinates at the same time after birth so there's no need to test it specifically. Just compare infants from different countries.

You don't even have to go that far. Denmark vaccinates right after birth (if I can understand Der gives tre doser på hhv. dag 0, efter 1 måned og efter 6 måneder. correctly) while Germany vaccinates after 2 months: Die ersten beiden Impfungen im Alter von 2 und 4 Monaten, die dritte Impfung im Alter von 11 Monaten. Literally just take a sample from both of these countries.

I was apparently vaccinated after 2 months, 3 months, 4 months and 1 year according to my vaccine certificate.

Edit: Small update, can see the issue with doing this in Guinea-Bisset

[–] freddydunningkruger@lemmy.world 6 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I guess we can all see why you aren't a scientist.

Guinea-Bisset has one of the highest rates of Hep B infections in the world. Nearly 1 in 5 people there have chronic Hep B, and 90% of babies exposed at birth develop a chronic infection.

In America, 1 in 1,200 have Hep B. Not 1 in 5. DRASTICALLY more people have Hep B in Guinea-Bisset, greatly increasing the chance of infant exposure.

That's why there is outrage. This should be basic common sense.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

If the rate is so low in the US, why would it be unethical to do it there? You could also take samples from babies whose parents are getting or refusing the vaccine anyways. Sure, those decisions on their own will introduce more variables, but they could do a "outcomes of being raised by pro/anti vaccine/medicine parents" study.

If the goal was the truth, at least. It would be hard to do that study without any bias either way, with how political the whole thing is.
