Trump expresses reservations over Florida eliminating vaccine mandates: ‘We have to be very careful’

This is so pathetic.
Trump, as usual, parroting the last person he spoke to - in this case someone who accepts the settled science.
Look, you have vaccines that work. They just pure and simple work. They’re not controversial at all, and I think those vaccines should be used, otherwise some people are going to catch it, and they endanger other people
If only there were some way to know which vaccines work and are worth the risk. Some kind of panel of experts who could review the evidence, request additional research where necessary, and approve those vaccines which do work and have manageable risks.
If you had that, then you could confidently impose mandates where necessary as a public health measure - because inevitably some idiots will prefer not to have vaccines because they don't understand how they work and want to rely on herd immunity.
I hope they do temper their stance on vaccines and avert the worst of the catastrophe RFK wants to unleash. However, this will sadly perpetuate the prevention paradox - vaccines have worked so well that they don't seem important.
Nah. Grip it and rip it, red states.
My sincerest hope is that Wyoming has so many Covid parties that five progressives could walk in and get two votes in the senate and one in the house.
I call it “the shocker.”
Wyoming is next to a couple other states with significant Native American populations. The thing about vaccines is there's a lot of resistance in those populations, especially if it's white people administering them. Some of that crowd immunity we expect to have really needs to protect them too, and without it, they will be devastated by white people's policies again.
That's a very simplified statement without much cultural context, but I think it's so painful to blame the ~500k people in one large, mostly rural, largely uneducated state for this when much denser voting populations did too
Covid spreads, my guy.
Who gives a shit about an endemic flu that people have built resistance for when those morons are trying to bring back measles and TB?
Florida.
So many old and biologically vulnerable people to be trying this experiment.
CHICAGO SURVIVED THIS WEEK!
Here's hoping mar a Lago feels like a plague center every time he goes. I want him to feel unwelcome in his own home.
