      100% agree. CPS should be way more aggressive because it’s neglect and abuse. I am so sick of seeing them treated with kid gloves.

        The issue is where the kids go after you take them away. It’s not like foster care is renowned for its nurturing environment. Would these kids actually be better off there?

          It is way bigger than that, I agree. But these kids aren’t even being educated, and it’s really troubling.

    Anyone else feel like these kinds of things are the state sponsored bot farms at work? I mean how better to sow chaos than convince stupid parents that the measles are a good thing?

          Certainly not. Russia has created some fantastic things, art and music and literature and has many fantastic people too. Its politics are just highly unfortunate and it’s well documented the Russian government has used social media to create disinformation campaigns. It is not the Russian population’s fault in any way. When I think of the ones who protested the Ukrainian war despite the fact it might get them imprisoned or their families killed I’m blown away at their bravery.

      Doesn’t need to be state sponsored, there are companies making good money from those legalized pseudoscientific scams, see Boiron and Weleda.

        Ahh yes, Boiron, the company that doesn’t tell their customer’s their number 1 product is duck liver, because if they did that, they would have to explain they are only pretending it is duck liver.

    All these people do is prescribe placebos. Homeopathy is almost funny save for the damage it does by pretending to be medecine.

    Just another guy supporting my theory that homeopathy is quack and should be illegal, and people promoting it should be sued for medical malpractice.

    Whoever pays for an homeopath needs to cut just a tiny corner of a $20 bill, dilute it 1000 times in water and pay with that. It’s worth more than the homeopathic services.

    FB is a breeding ground for the perpetuation of dangerous old wive tale mentality. We should totally let these contributors onto the fediverse.

    That’s why European colonialists hoarded the blankets infested with measles. Had the indigenous population got hold of them, they’d turn into super warriors and the Americas would never have been conquered by the invaders. Don’t you know your history?
