Florida Surgeon General tells parents Measles is a Liberal Psyop

 The latest craze amongst right wingers is that everything is a "Liberal Psyop".  From Covid and the Vaccine to Taylor Swift and the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl, everything is an illegitimate Democrat Deep State plot. 

I wrote before the "Psyop" claim only makes sense if you are versed in rightwing lexicon.  Calling everything a Democrat or Liberal Psyop is a way for rightwingers to claim everything they don't like is fraudulent.

And remember by declaring something illegitimate or fraudulent is the first step in allowing Reactionaries the right to do what they want to do;  And what Republicans want to do is round-up and murder millions of people.

But, in Florida there are a lot of elderly Boomers, those people grew up with and have either direct knowledge or learned from their parents about diseases and vaccination efforts.  The Boomers were the direct beneficiaries of Jonas Salk vaccine against Polio.  Boomers lived through the complete eradication of Small Pox.  Boomers have benefited from untold scientific advances and an era of prosperity never before experienced by a single generation.

And those greedy fucks are throwing it all away.

Now, I know Boomers were unprepared for the onslaught of 50 years of Reactionary propaganda and now live in a world of fear and foggy dementia aided by that brainwashing.  But, what the fuck is wrong with people in Florida?

Stolen Valor DeSantis has Zero Charisma.  None.  And he exhibits his utter lack of charm, grace, intelligence, strength, integrity everytime this shrimpy dishonorable troll saunters on stage.  And his hand-picked psychotic Surgeon General Joseph Loony Ladapo?  Even Worse.

“The reason why there is a measles outbreak in Florida schools is because too many parents have not had their children protected by the safe and effective measles vaccine,” said John P. Moore, a professor of microbiology and immunology at Weill Cornell Medical College. “And why is that? It’s because anti-vaccine sentiment in Florida comes from the top of the public health food-chain: Joseph Ladapo.”

As a Measles outbreak spread through Broward County, Florida instead of adhering to the long established medical understanding of a 21 day quarantine period, Ladapo left the decision to stay at home to the parents.  Loony Ladapo even acknowledged a 3 week period is normally recommended because,

"This is the period of time that the virus can be transmitted."

But, the Modern Republican Party has worked very hard to destroy the concept of expertise and scientific consensus, so if a Parent with an unvaccinated child wants to send their child (NOT THE PROPERTY OF THE GOVERNMENT LIBTARD) that's their right and their choice. PARENT'S RIGHTS!!!

Just throw out a millennia of research and study and decades of successfully MMR vaccines here in the United States.  Republicans listen to The Joe Rogan Experience and he tells it like it is!

While the Corporate Media likes to BothSides the Anti-Vaccine movements here and worldwide, it's been a long time since an enclave of granola crunching hippes in the Pacific Northwest have been the majority of Unvaccinated proponents, and ultra-conservative religious groups like the Amish and Hasidic Jews routinely get religious exemptions and mass outbreaks.  No today the Anti-Vaxx movement is overwhelmingly made up of Reactionary Villains, bad faith actors, and liars.  And no amount of debunking or actual evidence can dissuade them from their beliefs.  When RFK Jr, goes on some rightwing propaganda show and alludes to Vaccine Injuries he's relying on the bullshit 1998 Lancet "Study" which claimed Autism came from MMR vaccines.  When Jello-brain Trump tries to tout his success with the mRNA Covid Vaccine he is shouted down and booed (this is the only time he faces boos and Trump hates it which is why he doesn't reference His Vaccine miracle).

The more success the rightwing Anti-Vaxx movement has the more outbreaks and harm they will cause to their communities.  But, you've got to understand Rightwingers treat disease the way they treat gun violence, it's not going to happen to them and when an incident happens well it's the fault of the Democrats, blacks, and illegals.

So, we continue in this relationship with rightwingers and Republicans who hate Us, who do everything in their power to harm society, do everything they can to make life worse, and do everything they can to make America a Fascist Theocracy where they imagine they will be putting the boot on our necks.
