Re: US troops vaccination
"Some exemptions may be allowed to troops if they have a legitimate health reason or religious belief that would prevent them from receiving the vaccine." sounds interesting. Is there any specifics - examples of religious beliefs that would be applicable, perhaps? --Gryllida (talk) 00:42, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I believe that some forms of more strict Islam and Orthodox Judaism oppose any vaccinations. There is in fact precedent in the United States with around 5 or 6 states expressly allowing exemptions to mandatory vaccinations for children for religious reasons. This is wholly opposed by any legitimate medical association in the United States though. Not sure how the military will implement it but I can surely see some court cases in the future. --Newsjunky12 (talk) 00:48, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Here's a link to a paper written by the NIH thats really interesting in highlighting the different religious opposition to vaccinations. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5141457/ --Newsjunky12 (talk) 00:49, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

Medical marijuana article
Try not to get too disappointed....... our reviewing flow here is a bit slow. Back up, take a deep breath and submit a new article!--Bddpaux (talk) 20:09, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
 * No worries! I was unaware of the rule on not reporting on things more than 3 days old. Now I know. Also thank you for letting me know the reviewing is a bit slow. I was beginning to wonder if my other two articles were going to get lost in the sauce. But yes I will continue writing thanks for the message! --Newsjunky12 (talk) 20:35, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
 * For sure.....I'm trying to start on one right now. Trust me: I have my own feelings/opinions about the lack of reviewing taking place.....but I will just tuck those into my pocket and keep working for now.--Bddpaux (talk) 01:58, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

Unfortunately...........
....in terms of the event itself, we are several inches beyond 3 days now, which is unfortunate. Until we get some of our NUMEROUS Reviewers showing up to actually REVIEW ARTICLES (yeah, I said it), this will continue to be an issue. I strongly feel, with the smallest bit of effort, this could easily be spun into something much fresher.--Bddpaux (talk) 21:42, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Yikes. First of all I saw your post on the Water Cooler section and I hope you enjoy your break. Whenever you get back or get the chance I just have a few questions. 1. Can I safely assume that this will happen to the other three articles I have written? 2. For freshening up how would I go about doing that, just trying to find an update to the story, source it, and add the info to the existing story? 3. If I DO end up freshening up the story, when I re-submit it for review, will it be reviewed immediately or will it be put in the back of the line and we'll be here again in 3 days? Thank you for reviewing the story and thank you for any assistance. --Newsjunky12 (talk) 22:09, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

Your articles
Just wanted to say that I've noticed the work you've been doing on a number of articles, and I wanted to say - great job! I do understand that perfectly good articles going stale can be really frustrating, so I really hope one of your articles does get published soon. :) --LivelyRatification (talk) 09:31, 15 August 2021 (UTC)


 * LivelyRatification Unfortunately it's looking like all 4 of my articles are going to go stale including the one I freshened up and re-submitted because it went stale. Honestly this has been fun and I really enjoyed writing articles but I don't think I'm going to continue if all that's happening is me writing articles and then just throwing them in the trash. Appreciate the support though and I'll check back into Wikinews every now and then to see if things are better. --Newsjunky12 (talk) 15:09, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Thought I'd let you know - I've become a reviewer recently, and I'll be free for most of the day today (it's about 8am here). You don't have to do anything if you don't want to, but if you'd like to write an article, I'd probably be able to review it today. --LivelyRatification (talk) 21:50, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
