Muh Muh Muh My Corona (virus)

So what? For crying out loud, that's his choice. He's not making laws that make it difficult for people to get a booster or anything. We're talking about people who already had decided to get two jabs. If DeSantis didn't dissuade them from that, he sure as shit isn't going to dissuade them from getting a booster. Regardless of whether HE got one (or won't even say).

At some point, we have to quit blaming stupid politicians for people making questionable personal decisions.

When the state was getting hammered by the virus, DeSantis put his energy into treatments targeting covid instead of increased vaccinations. Florida’s vaccination rate actually decreased during the fourth coronavirus surge relative to the period immediately prior.

DeSantis also recently appointed a new state surgeon general who has actively tried to undermine confidence in vaccines. That official, Joseph Ladapo, visited the office of a state senator last week. When asked to wear a mask because the senator is being treated for cancer, he refused. At another point last month, DeSantis participated in a news conference where speakers implied that the vaccine could be deadly or that it could “change your RNA.” DeSantis later claimed not to have heard them.

 

So leadership doesn't matter?

 

MAGA>JAMA

 

Fuck 'em. Let 'em take horse meds.

 

Not as much as you'd like to believe.

How many things did Donald Trump's leadership convince you to do (other than not vote for Donald Trump)?

 

They've been doing it for a year now. Let the 2-percenters who die pass in peace. We can laugh at the rest.

Coronavirus in the U.S.: Latest Map and Case Count

And all the treehouse epidemiologists assure me no such thing as 'long covid' exists.

How Long Covid Exhausts the Body

 

Family wanted to do their own research on the Covid vaccine in kids. Not enough time for their healthy 7-year old daughter who died of Covid in 72 hours. So infuriating.

 

I see Alabama no longer merits its own color to highlight just how shitty the vaccine uptake numbers are here. Progress!

 

See, they did a risk assessment and figured out the risks they were comfortable with…

 

Clearly they didn't invoke enough "Maybe. X. Will. Die" prophylacteries.
