Ignorance is wonderful innit?

_The rising appeal of anti-vaccine activism has been underscored by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s insurgent presidential campaign and fueled by prominent factions of the GOP. The mainstreaming of a once-fringe movement has horrified federal health officials, who blame it for seeding dangerous conspiracy theories and bolstering a Covid-era backlash to the nation’s broader public health practices._

This might be better for Politics.

Florida recommends that anyone under 65 NOT get the Covid vaccines.

I find this distressing, it’s like they are being willfully ignorant by rejecting the core concepts of public health.

Is Florida still number one in COVID hospitalizations right now?

More likely trolling for votes, but potato, potato.

I think the FL Surgeon General thinks all Floridians should get Covid. The man should lose his license to practice medicine.
