Yes that happens often with articles that discuss consequences of The Current Administration.

There needs to be CVEs/KEV for public misinformation vulnerabilities. APTs have been using social media channels to spread disinformation, the CDC has been disabled by another APT, and we're failing to immunize people against health misinformation.

Nah, you need a decently funded education system.

You mean decently-funded students. The education system compared to pretty much anywhere else on Earth is extremely well-funded, it just goes to administrative parasites.

No, that's actually not true. The US is not "extremely well-funded." It's pretty much on-par with other advanced nations adjusted for PPP.

Once upon a time when a document or posting was written, the first use of a TLA (Three Letter Acryonym) or ETLA (Extended Three Letter Acryonym) would result in its expansion immediately following in parenthesis.
You are actively re-writing the recent past, ignoring the way that vaccinations work, and how they've been required in many settings for decades. Do better.

They're a troll, read their comment history. There's nothing of value in any of their comments, and they only post so they can stir up controversy. Flag and move on, stop feeding them.

hey look more claims with zero evidence.
Stop misinterpreting "my body my choice" as permission for those with infectious diseases to purposefully spread deadly diseases.
If you have AIDS, you do not have blanket permission to spread that disease to anyone else. Thats a violation of consent, bodily autonomy, and inflicting direct harm.
My Body My Choice means YOU do not have the RIGHT to infect ME with your deadly disease you contracted. It's my body, and you do not have permission to take your gunk, and infect me with it. Wear a mask.
And stop spreading misinformation with zero cited sources.

Yes if the government spread more misinformation, misinformation would surely be less prevalent.

Someone's being dishonest here; vitamin K conspiracy theories long predate COVID.

That's what happens when your choice impacts others.
You'd be pro-choice, too, if pregnancy was airborne.

"We" do it because governments want to reduce the cost managing an outbreak. Not because it is good for everyone who takes it in some absolute sense. I mean, such measures are enforced without taking effort to assess individual RoI, because that would be more costly than managing the outbreak.
Governments and establishments ("We") don't give a shit about your health beyond your ability to vote and pay taxes.

Yes, that tends to be the case for policy that impacts several hundred million people. We know what a world without vaccination looks like; it wasn't that long ago.

Antivax influencers, though, are doing it out of the goodness of their hearts.

Normalization of abortions, there being overall more abortions, and related issues do affect society as a whole.

We've done this for decades (https://www.kff.org/other-health/state-and-local-policies-on...) in all fifty states. If you went to public school, you were forced to get various vaccines. Many states even require it for private/home schooling.
