Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

The maddening part is also the fact that there are people outside of the core that cannot receive the basic vaccinations for one and seeing stuff like this just makes me speechless.
That's exactly it. A decent chunk of the people in the imperial core are just so insulated from these types of hardships that are commonplace in too many places. People hike for days to bring their children to vaccine clinics because they know what happens if you leave your child open to preventable infections.
And then dipshits in the imperial core who don't know anyone who's lost a kid to measles don't vaccinate their kids because they heard that vaccines cause autism.
My father still tells me about his aunt that was an anti-vaxer back in the day. Then she lost her baby son because she chose not to vaccinate him. It was her biggest regret that haunted her till the day she died. Every other child she had was vaccinated and they all grew up happy & healthy.
