Florida is planning to end all vaccination requirements in the state, including requirements for school children to get routine childhood vaccinations that protect them and their communities from severe and life-threatening diseases, such as Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib), pertussis (whooping cough), diphtheria, measles, tetanus, RSV, and polio.

I'd like to congratulate drugs for winning the war on drugs, terror for winning the war on terror, and disease for winning the war on disease. We've truly outdone ourselves this time. What an impressive lineup. A round of applause, ladies and gentlemen.

Not the school shots I would assume they would tackle.

I was hanging out on some conservative forums when the news came out and almost universally people were pissed saying it's an overreaction to what they call the "overreach during COVID." And I'm sitting there reading these comments and thinking to myself that these people are so anti Democrat and anti "woke" that they seemingly have selectively forgotten that this is exactly what people were warning them about. They were legitimately surprised that this has happened and were in denial that this administration would do something like this.

These are the people that we are up against. They are ignorant and so angry at Democrats that they will literally forget that they were warned about this exact scenario. And the reason I bring this up is because they are ignorant, but they are not universally stupid and can actually think for themselves when given the chance. And we should use opportunities like this to educate them instead of saying "haha you get what you voted for."

Should we pay teachers enough to live?
Nah, lets spend our time infecting kids with unnecessary diseases.

-- Florida politicians, probably.

Is any else worried a form of bacteria has figured out mind control and has infiltrated our government to weaken it for its world domination plans?

It's the lizard people. They're immune to our diseases.

If humanity wants to live on another world, we will first have to terraform it to suit our biology.

Likewise, in order to spread, brain worms would need to find a suitable host to terraform the rest of the species they want to inhabit. They should encourage unhealthy behavior, sow distrust in science, and be in a position of authority.

Hypothesis: RFK Jr died years ago, and is being controlled like an undead meat puppet by brain worms looking to conquer earth.

Yet another conservative trying to rewrite the history of slavery.

"Ladapo exclaimed, "Every last one [mandate] is wrong and drips with disdain and slavery."

Yeah I remember Harriet Tubman railing against the tyranny of the MMR vaccine.

God where do they find these absolute fucking morons

Humans yielding power to bacteria is quite noble
