Floridas surgeon general is a stupid piece of shit, and is such a disgrace to medicine he shouldn't even be allowed to hold a tissue.
but lets face it, These are the kids of anti-vax parents.. Who weren't going to obey a quarantine even if it was ordered.
That doesn't make the idiot surgeon general right, or blameless, before someone tries to jump on me for that. I'm just saying that we should know these types of people by now. Someone says do X to protect others, and they actively do the opposite of X because MaH fReEdUmBs
Only way you're gonna get these people to fucking quarantine is if you put barricades around their house and have 24/7 guard rotations (and even then, there's a strong chance you'll end up with some nutjob right wing officer who will let them come and go as they please anyway, cause like I said.. this fucking cancer goes deeper than the surgeon general)
If they’re breaking the law they should be arrested. Endangering kids? Take them away. All we have is the rule of law. To suggest anything else is ridiculous.
The bad part is antivaxxers aren't all right wing idiots. There is a large number of them who vote dem. This goes a lot deeper than just politics at this point. The level of homeopathic health has more people than ever believing in it.
Since the pandemic antivax is overwhelmingly conservative.
Before then it was fringe hippies... who were also often conservative, they just smoked weed as well.
O I'm not saying it doesn't skew one way, but there are a lot of people on the left who are the everything in the stores are poison types.
I've never met an alt-med/antivax loon, even the real hippy dippy barefoot ones, that didnt lean right.
but i guess maybe some exist somewhere.
My city is full of crunchy granola hippies who are barefoot and are pro-tolerance, BLM, etc. They would absolutely not vote right.
But they would absolutely be antivax and try to heal you with chakra magic or rosewater.
