    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.

    This could have been avoided if the government was just more honest about the negative affects of the Covid vaccine.

    Instead, people were cancelled, fired, and censored. There were calls to force people to get vaccinated against their will. These laws were almost passed, but this stopped when Trump won the 2024 election.

    The 'my body my choice' crowd quickly changed their tune. The party of science became the party of non-science (and more like a religion) almost immediately.

      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.

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

      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.

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

      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.

      That's what happens when your choice impacts others.

      You'd be pro-choice, too, if pregnancy was airborne.
