Rules:

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Without clear clinical guidelines in México, people with Long COVID face gaslighting and erasure (thesicktimes.org)

Long COVID may affect millions of Mexicans, but a lack of information prohibits adequate medical care and innovative research.
Some Mexican doctors are calling on the government to establish a national clinical guideline, which could direct local clinics and medical experts on how best to diagnose and treat the disease.
Similar to other countries, the government places higher-priority on surveilling and addressing other easier-to-diagnose diseases, like dengue.
Despite attempts to approve a clinical guideline, the government agency in charge of approvals has yet to review the proposal.

El rojo representa la sangre llena de covid...

[–] Ofiuco@lemmy.cafe 1 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Reminder the past administration dismantled the public vaccination program, instated a half-assed version that allowed them to pocket the money and gave control to the military, during covid they didn't want to apply vaccines until they were forced to, but only wanted to apply sputnik and cansino, until they were forced again to buy real ones, up to date and not expired ones (and that only lasted a while).

The current president (during her time as governor) experimented using ivermectin without the patient's consent, she gave her full support during the expresident's antivaxx crusade, she (now president) swore to keep the current system going and refuses to buy more covid vaccines, they are still applying outdated and (most likely) expired ones (sputnik and abdala), if you want to get one up to date, you have to pay around 900MXN and it's hard to find (already got mine but sheesh...).
The official mandate is to not talk about covid again on the media and the sick ones to be told they have atypical pneumonia or something, but the goverment swears the covid is no more.
