And that is why rich countries genuinly want to help poor ones with containing disesas of any kind. Unless they are run by morons.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

MODERATORS
Evil* morons.
It seems pretty clear the uber rich think a lot of us should just die instead of us doing things like prevent climate change and the spread of communicable diseases.
This isn't just weaponless incompetence. They are building bunkers.
Literally, they would rather rule over the burnt out ashes of our beautiful earth.
They still have to go to the bunkers, so when shtf, there's a small window where they're vulnerable and we can get them to join us
I'm 99% sure that antivaxers are people that started out just using it as an excuse to not get a shot then it snow balls into conspiracy theories
They just pick a word that sounds scary to stupid people, make millions of videos about it, and collect sponsorship checks. That's all that matters.
Right now the scary word they're making content about is 'pasteurization'.
I really dont understand whats the endgame with this anti-vax stuff, get diseases to spread and then what? Or does he (and the rest of the government) actually believe in this shit
It probably is more like: "Government forces the people to take some evil vaccines due to those scientists, who lie to you. Also those evil scientists are telling the government to stop us emitting greenhouse gases, dump chemical waste and so forth. Also the shut downs during Covid were pushed for by those evil scientists."
So less wanting to actually spread the disesas and more following science hurts our bottom line.
It's a mixed bag. Some just position themselves as anti establishment to get anti vaxer votes. Some really believe it. But the amount that got vaccinated sneakily makes me think the first group is bigger.
It's us vs them culture war. Same with transsexuals and people who drive a Prius.
Then Grandpa Nurgle hugs you
Rfk jr might very well be a nurgling in disguise or even a cultist, who knows
Nurgle would be happier. Rfk looks like suffering
For him he may actually believe it. Apart from that its just trying to appeal to the antivax crowd.
