Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. 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.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. 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.

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.
That's all the rules!

This is eugenics. The media refuses to say that's but that's what it is.
The FDA doesn't inherently get to decide what medicines most people can get, your doctor does (and your insurance may determine whether it's financially realistic). The FDA may influence their decisions, but don't let them offload your health to a corrupted government organization if you have any choice in the matter.
Also many Americans have a risk factor.
At this point the administration might as well send out the Proud Boys and KKK and just start clubbing people to death. Decimating the CDC, the brain worm actively waging a war on vaccines, defunding essential programs... It's insane.
We need a General fucking strike. It can be our own voluntary lock down during cold and flu season.
I know there's no internal logic here but why are they doing this?
I have the freedom to take Ivermectin to cure any disease or the government dictates my medical choices. The vaccine is evil and will make your heart explode but we won't let liberals take it by choice, even when we cheer for their death. Government shouldn't tell me how to live except "don't take this ultra dangerous drug that you've had 5 times before with no negative impacts"
Just let liberals be dumbass sheep taking their poison. Why are you stopping them from "killing themselves"?
Is it because the party of "small government" is actually more concerned with what adults do to their bodies?
If it wasn't for double standards they wouldn't have any standards at all
They are expecting Covid to decimate cities where people are in the closest proximity. And also where they tend to be liberal and minority.
They are using it as a bio-weapon against their political enemies.
I’m likely visiting my in-laws in Mexico this Christmas; I’ll probably have to get a vaccine there as a fucking tourist.
Lucky. I’d be inquiring about staying.
"any new Covid vaccine now must undergo placebo-controlled clinical trials — meaning, some people would get the actual vaccine while others get an inactive substance like a saline shot, to compare results."
Is that just for covid or for things like the flu shot too? If it's across the board, this cold and flu season is going to suuuuUUUUuuuck!
It is, in fact, unethical for a trial to be configured to withhold a known cureative/preventive agent from the so-called "placebo" group.
It is widely recognized you'd be unnecessarily harming them.
It much worse than "suuuuUUUUuuuck!"
