Is there a way to make sure measles doesn’t escape the state lines?
Seriously, though, this seems like a health disaster in the making.
RFKJr. is the health disaster in the making. This just accelerates it locally.
Here is what is being reported:
I posted a gift link to the Washington Post story here:
Gift link (but may require registration):
There are some great reader comments in response that article.
RFK Jr. is a uniquely anti-science and self-dealing lunatic, but the GOP overall has become a child-hating death cult where various leaders are competing to be the most malicious.

Well, they love children while they are still inside a woman’s body, but once they leave the worthless and expendable incubating vessel, then yeah, they don’t give a shit about the child.
From the article I linked:
“We’re getting government out of the way, getting government out of your lives,”
What an absolute catastrophe. Innocent children will be the ones paying the price.
If you’re going to Disney this year, get a booster like traveling to a 3rd world country.
Or don’t go. That’ll loss of revenue will change their minds.
Just go to Disneyland instead.
That’s the ticket. 
I think I just figured out why. I’m given to understand pregnancy is not the most enjoyable or even comfortable condition. So these domestic terrorists (as I’ve been calling the pubbies’ for a long while now) are for it. In their tattered tiny so-called minds, a pregnant woman, especially a poor or marginalized woman, is a miserable woman. And that gives the pubbies’ orgiastic glee.
Better yey, go to neither.
Re Florida, some of the headlines say it concerns all vaccine requirements, and some say it just has to do with children
I cannot find the full context for this:
Does that definitely just apply to humans? What about dogs and cats?
This is not an absurd concern:
The prevalence, politicization, and health policy consequences of canine vaccine hesitancy

You’ve done much of your posting in the Pit of late, and perhaps this has caused you to overlook the fact that not all forums are meant for Pit-like posts such as this one. Please keep this in mind for posts going forward. Thanks.
Thank you very much for this note. I really did not realize the post was not in the Pit. I don’t mind you “cornfielding” the post if needed.
My apologies.
We generally don’t cornfield posts except from trolls. Which you most definitely are not. 
It can stand, but thanks for the offer.
Apology appreciated but not necessary. We all lose track of where we are on the Board sometimes (including me).
Seriously f_cking evil bastards.
This will kill children. Lots of them. Not just in Florida. And the people doing that know this, they are not stupid people.
Like so much evil sh_t is happening right now, but this stands out for me. The ONLY reason for this is to pander to the antivax extremists that the GOP has decided to co-opt for political purposes. And these bastards know that. They weighed up killing their constituents children vs the votes of the antivax contingent and decided the votes were worth it
That doctor needs his license revoked!
While I won’t say that’s their plan, this is the direction they’ve been pointing us towards for the last few years, so it’s hardly a surprise. I don’t expect any changes until we end up with a lot of sick and/or dead children.
So they don’t want government assistance after the next earthquake? And are they refusing Social Security and Medicare benefits?
