- hangphyr 7y agoAre you requesting people confirm that Spiked is approved by a specific orthodoxy before reading the article and judging for themselves?
- cultus 7y agoReputation of a source matters. An anti-vax publication would rightly get a negative reception here too. This is Hacker News. People shouldn't be posting garbage like this. Go to Reddit.

- sequoia 7y agoCan you specify exactly what we should be looking for here? To put it another way, what moved you to post this comment with this content? There must be some takeaway you expect readers to have. What is it?
