Police in UK can now take women's phones and check their period tracking app
Several women's health and safety organisations have spoken out against the 'shocking' new guidance, vowing to 'aggressively challenge' it
"New guidance in the UK has handed British police the power to trawl through women's phones if they suspect said individual has undergone an illegal abortion.
As per an announcement made by the National Police Chiefs Council (NPCC) last month, officers investigating the causes of stillbirths, miscarriages and unexpected pregnancy losses will now be permitted access to check menstrual cycle tracking apps.
The alleged aim of the incoming procedure is to 'establish a woman’s knowledge and intention in relation to the pregnancy.'"
@calmeilles I have a sticker in my vehicle window that says "Vaccines Cause Adults"
I've had my life threatened multiple times over it
It stays.
You assume antivaxxers feel remorse and take responsibility for their actions.
@calmeilles yeah...
We need more of such confrontations against antivaxxers!
...or had basic health literacy... 😐
@calmeilles
Don't even say sorry but tell those kids that you own them and that they are yours.
The kids are forced to like what they end up with because they had no option with ignorant parents.
Circumcision is a great example how such parents treat their kids exactly like that and don't even apologise at all, in fact most react like described like the text on the top explained.
Remember that antivaxxer disinformation and covid denial is funded by the wealthiest people on the planet for self-enrichment & partisan gain.

@Tooden @calmeilles Well, it can mean saying sorry if there's a bad reaction to said vaccine, but the risk of that is sooo damn small (greater risk of being hit by a bus crossing a road) vs the risks of the diseases these things are meant to prevent…
I'd rather risk apologising for a bad vaccine reaction, then apologising for the flow-on effects of a disease that could have been prevented easily.
@Tooden @calmeilles Sounds nasty, but also very temporary.
At least it wasn't anything more severe, and you haven't since made any rash decisions.
@JustRosy @Tooden @calmeilles Yeah, vaccines are not DIY for very good reason.
I'd rather roll *that* dice though, than some of the diseases that are back in circulation.
I know I have to schedule a COVID-19 shot in the coming weeks (it's been more than 12 months, although the doctor thinks I'm fine on that front regardless). Just need to find a time where I can deal with a few days of reaction.
(The Moderna shot hasn't given me any side-effects… but I have a feeling they've dropped that in favour of the Pfizer shot… so who knows?)
@calmeilles Shortly after the Disneyland Measles outbreak, various pediatrician offices posted a sign at the entrance to their waiting rooms.
UNVACCINATED PATIENTS NOT WELCOME
The explanation underneath explained that the office has restricted services to unvaccinated patients both adult and children due to liability concerns.
"Holistic practitioniers" sprang up in Southern California and parts of Northern California who would still see unvaccinated patients. Some of those practitioners ended up loosing their medical licenses for signing COVID Vaccination cards without vaccinating people.
The California legislature eliminated the Personal Belief vaccine exemption for all school-aged children. The only kids nowadays who are exempt are those with compromised immune systems or those who home school.
A man called Mr Franklin once wrote that he bitterly regretted not inoculating his son for smallpox.” He was a fine lad and only four years old. He died in the usual way.”
By the way, this was 1736 and the man’s first name was Benjamin.
By the way, inoculation then was a crude affair; it comprised placing a small amount of cow pox pus into a small open wound.
Crude, but it worked. 🤮😊
@calmeilles I seriously doubt most of them care, tbh. I've seen a few parents double down and claim it's God's will or w/e.
But it's definitely better than not saying anything at all.
In the UK the kids get their vaccines at a very young age, so young they can't talk let alone make decisions.
By the time they can do both it would often have been too late.
@blenderdumbass @lyndamerry484
Yeah. What about the kids you can't talk to because they're dead?
@calmeilles @lyndamerry484 What I'm saying is, make the vaccine and then say sorry to the kid. Because the kid might have not wanted the vaccine. The "sorry" part is a ritual to remind yourself not to be become a paternalistic tyrant.
You know how tyranny is always "for the good" of somebody.
I have no idea what you are talking about but please do not add this kind of garbage to my Mastodon again.

EDIT: Web link corrected.
Here in the UK we rarely see these disease's' anymore and so people think that they have been irradicated, they have not.
