Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

This is great news. Yet, sadly, I am drawn to wondering who will complain about this the loudest. Will it be misogynists who say "they're not helping men with their cancer", or anti-vaxxers saying "this vaccine will actually CAUSE cancer"?
What about people who are both misogynist and anti-vaccine?
Fuck em, essentially. Rather have cancer than a vaccine, that's their choice. It's not until it's a required vaccine that it makes much difference.
Yes, that's the attitude that people have as they make the world worse. It's not the best attitude.
And just what are you suppose to do with the people who are intentionally holding everything back?
If you believe in not hurting people, you don't hurt people.
In what way, exactly, does ignoring people with shit takes hurt them? Butthurt? That’s a chance I’m willing to take.
$10 says Alex Jones and his troglodyte cult following are gonna have a field day 😮💨
Alex is a little busy losing everything he owns right now.
He'll multitask
Sure. He'll also drink large quantities of liquor and cry.
Absolutely.
Yeah, I knew it. Here come the sad sacks with the useless "this is good news, but......"
I'm an academic working to analyse hate speech, with a particular focus on online misogyny. As bigotry is illogical, common features of communications of that hatred is stuff that is wholly made up. This include the idea that men are being short-changed by a medical industry which prioritise female health. This is factually untrue, in terms of gender differences in health outcomes.
If knowing about the truth makes me a 'sad sack', fine. Maybe being correct and 'sad' is more important than being incorrect yet happy.
Ok, good point. Yet, sadly, children die of cancer.
And, sadly, sometimes parents refuse the vaccine that would help.
Good point. Yet, sadly, puppies sometimes get cancer.
It’s a good thing we invented this straw person to have this whole discussion artificially when literally no one else was bringing it up. If we can’t find any monsters I guess we’ll invent them and do it anyway. 🙄
Oh you sweet summer child. I wish I could live in your brain.
Yet another who could have just shut the fuck up. Alas.
You seem to be having a bad day. Maybe taking it out on strangers will help?
So, neither misogynists nor anti-vaxxers exist?
I can find you evidence of men complaining about free period products. I am certain there will be men complaining that female cancers are getting cures, and not male ones.
They exist, are they here on Lemmy without artificially or “ironically” sharing their awesome hot takes? The world will never know.
