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.

The data also therefore shows that 15% of those infected were vaccinated. That means that these anti-vaxxer twats are causing responsible people to catch dangerous diseases that they would have otherwise been shielded from by herd immunity. People who refuse to be vaccinated should be banned from public spaces like planes, trains, busses, etc.
They should also be banned from businesses and other public venues unless those venues specifically and publicly advertise that they are open to the unvaccinated. That was the rest of us can avoid going to places where we may be exposed to pathogens that could overwhelm out vaccine derived resistance.
Those idiots dont get it. They see the 15% and say 'see, they got it even though vaccinated. The vaccine doesnt work! Hurr durr'
Thats what educated people are dealing with.
Thank you! This is what most people don't get. They think "Well I'm vaxxed, and my kids are vaxxed, so let those idiots all die." And frankly, I'm with you.
But in reality, vaccines aren't perfect, and the efficacy rate can be highly variable. Things like Chicken Pox vaccines wear off, and re-emerge as shingles in later life. And sometimes it just didn't take, but you haven't been around anyone with measles because EVERYBODY has a measles vaccine.
When we get on the other side of this, and can start acting sane again, we need to pass laws against this sort of anti-science defamation. It has serious real-world consequences that can't be just dismissed as Free Speech, especially when the motivation is malicious, political or profit.
Only if you got chickenpox at some point. If you were vaccinated against it and then never got ill you won't get shingles. The vaccine wearing off does not cause shingles, what happens is the vaccine wears off and then you get chickenpox then you get shingles later in life.
Take the newest shingles vax you can get.
The last time we tried to get conservatives to enact/follow basic public health measures, they:
Essentially declared jihad against the concept of public health, as well as actual embodiments of it
Invented a slew of new conspiracy theories, quack fake cures, and modern day babbling psychopath 'prophets'
Attempted a violent insurrection of the US Federal Government
... yeah I'm sorry but at this point my suggestion would be to just get yourself vaccinated and then fucking leave the suicidal theocracy quarantine zones, before more sane parts of the country start imposing quarantine restrictions on them.
Hey now there's also one more thing that could be done. Shame it's illegal in all 50 states and is considered a crime against humanity, but it would remove the anti-vaxxed dipshits permanently.

Nah closer to what Charles the Great did to the Saxons.
