Thank you for asking. There’s nothing is wrong with it, generally speaking. But it is not an academic or peer reviewed source. It has many editorialized articles.
I generally like the content they produce at least a little bit, but it’s not science.
Valid question. I’m not sure this science community has as many actual, yaknow, scientists, as the reddit community. I would suspect they are a little less strict as a result. No explicit rules about it in the sidebar.
I’m not even sure there is an academic paper available for this. The article links to the announcement from Massachusetts Department of Public Health, but that doesn’t point to any specific research other than some CDC data from 2021. I think, in this case, it’s more of a public health announcement than research.
The question is whether that would be considered “science” or “science news” or more specifically “healthcare news.”
Not to belittle the issue, but does this community plan to allow posts sourced from non-academic publications like Ars Technica?
I enjoyed the strict moderation at the other place.
agreed!!!
What’s wrong with ars technica?
