Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

"My six-year-old needs to be protected from a deadly disease but I don't trust vaccines. I know! I'll call a midwife!"
She is awful and deserves prison time, not just a fine, but the parents are also fucking stupid.
The importantance of vaccines are "I need to do my part to protect OTHER kids AND adults from deadly disease"
That's the biggest part of this problem though, it's not "my six year old" on the table here - it's everyone's six year old. I have a responsibility to understand that.
If we can't understand the above, then we don't live in a functioning society.
Unfortunately at this point we actually don't live in a functioning society.
beginning to suspect this is right.... still wearing my mask in crowded spaces, still watching 1000s die weekly from covid, no one seems to fucking care.... 1712 died last week.

That sounds awfully similar to deaths from the flu every year, why didn't everybody flip out and wrap their faces in panty liners before big scary covid came along and petrified the sheep? I'm old enough to remember all the terrifying "pandemics" that the media tried to scare everybody with every 5 or 12 years or so. Covid is the one that stuck.
If it does, it's only because you're profoundly stupid. They aren't the same. Millions died from Covid, 1.2million in the US alone - Stop acting like it's just a few randos.....
scare everyone? Scare everyone into what? How fucking weak are you that wearing a mask is too much? what a child
panty liner? jesus you really are a 5 year old.
Everyone knows you're afraid when they read your impotent posturing here.
You're trying so hard to get your Darwin award, and because you're still here, I guess we'll just add this latest one to the long list of failures in your life. You probably don't admit it to anyone except yourself when it's dark at night, but you know, as strongly as you know anything, that when you leave a room people laugh at you - lightly at first and then they just stop as they become overwhelmed with pity for the shell of a person you are.
Just yelling at the sky trying to prove you're the bravest coward, and fooling nobody.
eloquent retort.
I suspect that she selected her midwifery clients based on their views about vaccines.
I wouldn't be surprised if her patient's parents knew she was pencil whipping these vaccinations, otherwise she'd be in jail or being sued by the families.
Yeah, if the parents knew what was going on then they should lose custody
Authorities never looked into whether or not the parents/guardians were aware of it, so they get off scott free here.
