  • Council blocks cycle path with barrier by mistake

    Jump

  • Not a mistake, this seems intentional malice.

    You don't 'accidentally' block a bicycle path with a barrier, certainly not when there's an obvious marking.

  • A proposal to help the Lemmy devs

  • I think what would help, is a way to directly donate using eg. Monero or cash.

  • Should Vaccines Ever be Mandated?

    Jump

  • In that case I would vaccinate the kid and not discriminate their care. They're the victim of antivax parents, and not to be affected by them. See more here.

    If they're afraid of the government, then I'd support independent, local, decentralised vaccination campaigns. As long as it's transparent.

    And for needle phobias, well, ¯(ツ)_/¯ there's not really other ways. If there's another I'd be happy to support that, though.

  • Should Vaccines Ever be Mandated?

  • I dunno, not vaccinating is antisocial. I think vaccines must be provided for free and distributed widely.

    And if some don't want to get vaccinated, then tough luck. We are not going to let kids die because of someone spreading nonsense conspiracies.

    In fact, not vaccinating everyone is favouritism, as it creates a bigger rift between rich and poor, informed and uninformed people.

    If someone A were on a hospital bed and had dutifully vaccinated, but another person B who's screaming and refuses vaccins (and consequently is more ill), then I think A deserves the care first. Person B chose a lie and harming people, over helping others. He can get fucked.

    Ideally, I'd like for it to be voluntary too, but my solidarity ends at people not doing their part, be they oligarchs or antivaxxers.

  • Remember when someone posted Musk's (public) flight data? When Musk said anything could be public?

    And then Musk removed the flight data.

    Rules for thee but not for me. They're bloody hypocrites.

  • Mississippi's age assurance law puts decentralized social networks to the test

    Jump

  • I'm of the opinion that even if it is final, at some points laws are so ridiculous they must cease to be effective for all.

  • Should Vaccines Ever be Mandated?

    Jump

  • While vaccins are usually spread out over the first ten years of life, babies can and do get vaccinated. I don't know what you're talking about.

    I'd say that it'd be fair to give vaccinated people priority of care above unvaccinated people.

    Don't want to get vaccinated? Deal with the consequences.

  • Should Vaccines Ever be Mandated?

    Jump

  • Yes.

    Not mandating them will also harm the people affected by the antivax types. Think for example antivax parents who would rather let their kids die than vaccinate. It'll also harm the immunocompressed, who due to lack of herd immunity, will have a high chance of suffering due to these antivaxxers.

    I'd also add that there be a yearly checkup of whether the kids at school/daycares/home education are vaccinated or not. The one to do the checkup is prohibited from being a member of an antivaxx movement, and must be medically qualified.

    And the following consequences for not vaccinating:

    1. 500 hours community time for not vaccinating.
    2. 500 hours community service on top of that if spreading antivax ideology or supporting antivax groups, whether fiscally or nonfiscally. They also will be required to follow a course on how vaccination actually works, and take an exam for that.

    1,000 hours community time would amount to 25 workweeks (8 hr, 5 days a week).

    1. On top of that, a hefty fine of 5% of yearly net disposable income (stocks and non-material wealth included). Kid will be vaccinated also.
    2. If the parents/caretakers lied about the kid being vaccinated, kept the person absent for the checkup, or didn't register the kid (so services knows there's a kid that needs to be vaccinated), they will be called to court for abuse. If they still register and vaccinate the kid after that note, the consequences are 1/3rd less. This all also applies for if the people themselves are not vaccinated; they'll be called to court for endangering other peoples' safety.

    They are killing people. I say that that deserves a vaccine mandate with enforced consequences.

  • As a leftist I used to oppose the gun ownership for all. Now not so much. I've come to realise that in these times we need to take every measure we can to battle tyranny and fascism.

    I still think it's crap if loonies have guys, 'cos I don't want American situations where there are weekly mass shootings. I do think though that when there's totalitarianism rising, we need to disarm the fascist and arm ourselves.

  • You're right, biological warfare would be a better term.

  • The Playbook Used to ‘Prove’ Vaccines Cause Autism

    Jump

  • Calling him a "vaccine critic" is rich; he's a child killer. Due to him, directly, thousands of children will die preventable deaths.

    I think a better title would also be "The Playbook Used To Kill People, By Spreading Lies About Vaccines". Or simply, "The Playbook Used For Biological Warfare".

    Willfully not vaccinating a ton of people, in my view, is indirect biological warfare.
