A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

It really sucks to be the kid of negligent anti vax parent in situations like these.
There should be a resource (I'm sure there probably is) for kids to get vaxxed without their parents' knowledge.
Sad thing is though that a large portion of those kids can't reason passed the brainwashing from their looneytune parents and won't take advantage of those resources.
Just start charging the parents for biological warfare for every child that contracts it from their own. Parents will quickly start vaxxing if others are going to prison.
Sure it's your right to not vax but if you kill others willingly you are getting charged.
Difficult to prove that someone got infected by a specific child
COVID took precedence over all else during that pandemic and resources from otherwise regular activities such as mass vaccination in schools for measles were ignored.
So it's less the problem of antivax parents and more the amazingly poor organizational skills of our institutions.
Measles is sooo bad. It essestially completely resets your immune system to that of an infant. You lose ALL immune memory and immunity to everything you've caught before or been vaccinated for.
What the fuck, for real‽ That is bonkers. Gonna go read about that.
Sitrep? What's the scoop?
It affects your immune system but not to the degree the original comment implies. Your humoral immune response doesn’t just disappear, but the effectiveness is reduced.
If Hell is real, there's special place there for Andrew Wakefield, Joseph Mercola, and Jenny McCarthy.
Those are some rookie numbers. You gotta pump those numbers up. Watch how US does
Those are some ~~rookie~~ measly numbers.
FTFY
The US is going to explode half the people entering the US illegally are not vaccinated, then we bus them all around the country.
Finally some good news! /s
What’s a ‘good news’
Human civilisation feels like it's regressing.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
In the UK, health officials said last week that an outbreak of highly contagious measles in the West Midlands could spread rapidly to other towns and cities with low vaccination rates.
It often starts with a high fever and a rash, which normally clears up within 10 days - but complications can include pneumonia, meningitis, blindness and seizures.
All countries in the European region are being asked to detect and respond to measles outbreaks quickly, alongside giving vaccines to more people.
"The Covid-19 pandemic significantly impacted immunisation system performance in this period, resulting in an accumulation of un-[vaccinated] and under-vaccinated children," the WHO reported.
With international travel booming once again, and social-distancing measures removed, the risk of measles spreading across borders and within communities is much greater - especially within under-vaccinated populations, it said.
