It's pretty simple really. How about foreign countries don't let unvaxxed people in. Not for vacations, not for business, not for anything. U.S. wants to be morons, let them be morons inside their own borders.

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. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating 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 10/19
-
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.

The Biden admin withheld dairy contamination data to product dairy farmers, and let the CEO of Delta set Covid isolation guidelines to meet his workforce needs.
The health institutions are already fucked.
And yet trump found away to make them worse.
Just a different kind of bad. Both of these parties are completely fucked.
This entire incoming administration is hand picked for the purpose of fucking America up as much as possible.
of course.
Russia can't take over unless they infect us from the inside.
this is exactly the same thing that happened to them in the 1980s. Corrupt oligarchs selling national interests one slice at a time.
Once the lobbyist have their way with him nothing will change
I'm not even an expert and I'm fucking terrified what his brain worm ass is going to do.
Yay! Another brick in the wall to destroy the USA. Or is it PRICK?
Maybe under him the stupid won't breed.
the stupid won't breed.
They won't survive long enough to breed.
It's the opposite, I'm afraid.
Dear Trump voters:
Congratulations. You just destroyed our Department of Health. You realize this is just as likely to kill you as us right? Probably even more so because we will be on our guard.
They're basically the stupidest part of our population. I don't think they'll ever understand the connection between their idiotic voting behavior and the consequences of those choices. Remember--they're fucking morons.
They don't care. They've got scapegoats and as long as Israel is cooking then they're stupid rapture is on its way. Delusional fuckheads have no concept of personal responsibility.
then they're stupid rapture is on its way.
Can I...can I ramble a sec for anybody willing to see this?
I was raised around this rapture insanity. There's lots of evidence that this entire interpretation of Revelation isn't even an apocalyptic prophecy at all. That whole thing might have been started by some con artist named Darby in VERY recent history.
It angers me personally, because it screwed up my perspective in my formative years. Thinking the world was going to end any minute anyway and all the boomers were so friggin excited about that. What the actual hell.
From a believer's perspective, and I mean actually reading the book, it's infuriating, that this recent "trendy interpretation" of The Bible has been the excuse to completely wreck the planet we were given and hurt so many beautiful people and living things.
These scum claim to be godly, but treat ~~their~~ OUR home like a shitty rock-band treats a hotel room, and they think they're magically going to just get whooshed away from the consequences after they instigate WWIII to try and what, strongarm God into coming back because He smelled smoke and ruin?!
I want to band up with other believers against this "republichristian" cult. I wanna shout this from the rooftops.
But I'll be honest, I also don't want bombs sent to my house. I could rant on this all day, but American Christianity used to be a thorn in the side of capitalists. Christians helped everybody, sheltered them in their churches, didn't force them to rely on whatever the gilded assholes were selling, created community. Christians used to be good people, dammit. Christians used to be straight-up BASED.
But capitalists absolutely made a concerted effort to turn it into the monster we have today. Where people claim to follow a God who warned them against swearing oaths, while being the strongest supporters of "pledging allegiance" to "a flapping pretty banner and its current owners at the moment."
"Americhristianism" is the Devil's most clever work of our time. Now more people just automatically blanket-hate Christians than ever. Nice friggin' evangelism right?!
Breaks my heart. Feels like screaming against a deadly avalanche of stupid...
(Behind the Bastards podcast has a great couple episodes on "How the Rich Ate Christianity")
As a former christian, I wish I could upvote this all the more. I really don't have anything to add, you just hit everything directly on.
[21] “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. [23] And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
These so-called Christians are like the Pharisees that Jesus opposed.
did you ask if Republican voters realize something? realization requires using your brain, something that would've prevented them from voting Republican in the first place
the guy endorses raw milk on a time when non infectious avian flu viral particles are found in pasteurised supermarket milk. he is the walking embodiment of disaster.
Hope he follows his own teachings and let biology sort this out.
"Could"....
Try... "Will"
He will get forced out before anything gets too bad. There's way too much money involved in many of the things he wants to change for corporations to just take it.
He will get forced out before anything gets too bad
Forced by who??
The monied interests in the healthcare world.
I'd like to fit in with this new America I've found myself in. What's the best way to spread polio to these people who so desperately desire it?
Brain worms for everyone!
Well at least you won't have to waste money on expensive bombs and stuff. Just give the money to your oligarchs and send your troops off to breath on the enemy.
With the guy that's going to be defense secretary saying "I don't see germs, so they aren't real" maybe it could be the opposite.
I don't also see ionizing radiations, so they definitely aren't real, maybe let him taste some polonium tea
Also the irony of a Christian fundamentalist saying that because something can't be seen, then it can't be real
Your comment just got better and better 😁
Only if the rest of the world lets them be influenced by the US. If major powers like the EU do, then it's their own fault.
Antibiotic-resistant communicable diseases don't respect political borders.
Don't let in the US migrants nor their ideologies 🤷
COVID showed us that when we close the borders it's already too late.
American avian flu will be global long before enough other governments take it seriously enough to react, because the people who should have raised the alarm (in the USA) will be too busy looking for a job, in jail, dead, or ignoring it and drinking raw milk.
I mean... Cull the herd I guess....
Hope you enjoy the fallout that a large unvaccinated population causes even in those who are vaccinated
Yes. That would suck.
Isn't he also against antidepressants
He literally thinks they cause school shootings.
Also, he thinks AIDS is caused by gay people partying, not a virus. I'm not kidding.
According to Pence, he seems to be for abortion, somehow.
If Trump can finally convince all major industries to move out of the USA maybe the world will improve
