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.

Fuck no
What you proposed is straight up eugenics. To you, letting babies die preventable deaths because their parents are idiots isn't a problem, it's a solution to idiots.
Again; I'm open to better options. IDK if you're american or not, but I am. I live in the american south. I deal with these people on a daily basis. They're not worth tolerating. It's not lost on me that their children are innocent, but I'm open to suggestions on how to convince them that giving up some of their personal freedom for the greater good is the best path forward, because the vast majority wouldn't even put on a mask during COVID to help others. They'll happily let their kids die to preserve their idea of 'freedom'. How do propose getting them to voluntarily help their children?
Good thing they aren't the final arbiter of truth, the all knowing, omniscient, all powerful enforcer of that which is true and just. But you aren't either, so its good that you also don't have that power.
Lol, the truth. Why don't we just tell them that what they believe isn't true, I'm sure they'll come to their senses after hearing that 🤣 I don't remember claiming to be anything other than someone still waiting on folks to reply with what should be done since they're real chatty about what they think shouldn't be.
Simple, you don't convince them. You give them no choice and impose penalties for not doing it.
I'm sure rfk jr's brain worm will jump right on that plan. You must not live in america, right?
No, I'm American. I didn't say it was a likely thing to happen, just that it's a simple fix.
Fair enough. I guess I was just responding within the confines of reality. But there's no harm in dreaming I guess
