Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

I know there are considerations for immune compromised people - I’m on an immune-suppressing med myself. But holy fuck, if these idiots still haven’t found the plot after 5 years and a whole fucking pandemic, they’re not going to.
My wife is allergic to the measles vaccination and relies on herd immunity. The fact that there are parents who legitimately think that the vaccination is somehow worse than the disease itself makes me irrationally angry.
We've nerfed natural selection a bit too hard if you ask me.
I think this a lot.
But, quite ironically, I think it'll be what kills us all so it never really went away.
Natural selection leveled up 😬
Agreed.
