What a scumbag. The article says he’s already gotten a third dose of the vaccine, too, as well as monoclonal antibodies. And yet he’s anti-mask! He’s gonna let his friggin’ constituents die before they can even vote for him again. What a maroon. He needs one of those MORON t-shirts. The world has gone crazy. ---

> [@Dewey\_Finn](#): > > If I wasn’t already vaccinated, I’d be tempted to ride one of those taxis, but cough, sneeze and breath on the driver as much and often as possible. I think you SHOULD do it! Your vax status will reduce your own odds of getting sick from the driver or the cab’s previous occupants. One has to wonder just how the cab company expects to enforce the non-vaccinated part of it. “Turn out your wallet. What is that I see? A VACCINATION CARD??? BEGONE, SATAN!!!”. ---

To complicate things further, blood is not being labeled as to whether the donor is vaxxed or not, so the facility doing the transfusion doesn’t even have a way to know which blood is the one they want. ---

That should make it easy. “We got no way to know if the donor is vaccinated. So, make your choice. Do you want to die? Blood or not?” ---

Someone I know entered a place of business that required a mask, wearing a mask. An angry fellow exiting the business called him a sheep and asked why he was wearing a mask. He replied. “So no one will mistake me for a Republican.” ---

From Reddit: > My parents are trying to force hydroxychloroquine on me as preventative once a week. If I don’t I have to move out. They got if from a doctor in another state. I’m already vaccinated but they don’t know it. She says if dad gets COVID he would die. But they won’t get vaccinated or wear masks. I don’t make enough to move out on my own and know one to move in with. Idk what to do. I’m looking for a new job but it taking longer than I thought. Any advice?

> [@teelabrown](#): > > If an unvaccinated person received a blood transfusion from a vaccinated person, would the receiver go on to develop antibodies and be considered vaccinated? I can’t claim I’m an expert on the immune system but from what little I know I would say no. The small amount of antibodies (not the antigen) the transfusion introduces won’t trigger the production of more antibodies.

My best friend was anti-Reagan, anti-Republican, and anti-Fascist in the '80s. Now he’s anti-Antifa, likes Trump, and is spreading anti-vax articles (e.g., VAERS ‘data’ reporting adverse effects and deaths from the COVID vaccine). I’m assuming, then, that he’s unvaccinated. I hope he doesn’t get COVID. But what are the odds of that happening in Florida?
