Did you read that Florida Says It Plans to End All Vaccine Mandates?

[Anonymous]

Florida plans to become the first state to end all vaccine mandates, including for schoolchildren, rejecting a practice that public health experts have credited for decades with limiting the spread of infectious diseases.

We can expect many children in Florida to die as a result of this.

Probably not. Most vaccines are for diseases that are actually pretty easily treated in the US; some even without professional medical intervention. When was the last time you or anyone you know was hospitalized for the flu? We haven’t evaluated vaccine mandates in seventy years because Big Pharma isn’t about to let anyone interfere with their guaranteed profits scam.
What will more likely happen is an increase in doctor visits and hospitalizations. It’s also likely that health insurance premiums will rise. We will certainly see a reduction in vaccine related injuries, illnesses and deaths. Some people might get very sick and die, but not as many as you’re suggesting. Despite glaring issues with gouging in US healthcare, we still have fairly high quality of care in most facilities. We’re still vaccinating like ours is a third world nation where modern medicine is hours away if it’s even available in the country at all. Ell oh ell!
It’s an interesting aspect of the lunatic left’s argument in favor of open borders. Millions of people without vaccination documentation flow into this country and they don’t care. If you were born here, live in the same community and you can’t show them your vaccination papers, they want you put in prison. Hypocrites.

[Asker]

Try treating Rabies, measles, smallpox, tetanus, pertussis, polio, or hepatitis once they are established in someone, and see how "easy" or successful that is.

All can be prevented with vaccines.

[Syntosi]

What to say at this point? Its like they are spitting in the face of everyone before them who has died in plagues and disease outbreaks just because they themselves dont understand how good they are having it when living under the protection of vaccination. What spoiled brats.

[Syntosi]

@seeyounexttuesday Oh, I regularly update boosters. Its weird that you think this is a witty comeback.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi There's zero doubt in my mind you do that.

[Syntosi]

@seeyounexttuesday Which once again brings up the question why you think this would be an effective reply and not just you making yourself look like a fool again.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@Syntosi the image is you in every aspect.

[Syntosi]

@seeyounexttuesday Nice of you to share your fanfic.

[seeyounexttuesday]

How many total have you gotten?

[Syntosi]

@seeyounexttuesday I have gotten vaccines all throughout my life. Why on earth would I not?

[seeyounexttuesday]

how many covid boosters have you gotten?

[Syntosi]

@seeyounexttuesday Have not counted. Why would I?

[seeyounexttuesday]

Bullshit.

[Syntosi]

@seeyounexttuesday How many times have you eaten breakfast?

[seeyounexttuesday]

Was breakfast just invented 4 years ago?

[Syntosi]

@seeyounexttuesday Oh? You think that was a silly question? Fine then. How many times have you eaten breakfast in the last 4 years.

[seeyounexttuesday]

Is Breakfast a normally routine event in the average person's life? To you expect to get a covid booster daily except on days you skip? You have to make an appointment with a medical provider to have breakfast?

I'm trying to find out how your retarded brain thinks those are equivalent?

[Syntosi]

@seeyounexttuesday You are sooooo close to getting it. Come on, I believe in you (This is a complete lie by the way.

[seeyounexttuesday]

Ah, so there isn't. Thanks for playing. You're the poster child for brain rot.

[Syntosi]

@seeyounexttuesday What if taking vaccines is a routine part of your life? Would that be memorable to you?

[seeyounexttuesday]

Are covid boosters routine?

[Syntosi]

@seeyounexttuesday Yes. Just like the seasonal flu vaccine. Its just a normal thing to do.

[seeyounexttuesday]

So how many Covid boosters?

[Asker]

@seeyounexttuesday He won't answer you, but I will. I work in hospitals, so six boosters so far. Want to make an issue of it, genius?

[seeyounexttuesday]

I wanted to see how b brainwashed you were thanks for confirming

[AMS700CX4u2]

Now you understand the cycle of judges in the Bible. I was not necessarily good or evil that prevailed it was wisdom verses ignorance.

[Syntosi]

@op
I honestly can't remember how many boosters it has been. It is so inconsequential to me that I am amazed that people even talk about vaccines in the first place.

[seeyounexttuesday]

Lol, fuckin liar.

[Syntosi]

@seeyounexttuesday Yes. Because you totally know more about my memory than I do. That totally makes sense and is not at all insane.

[seeyounexttuesday]

Whatever you say, chief.

[Amy10223]

I guess many folks in Florida will be dying. That I believe was part of Trump's plan, to do away with mandated vaccines at schools, anyway. Won't be visiting anytime soon~and I have a relative there.

[Anonymous]

All the people who will defend this insanity. "But orange god said so. Orange god said so. Orange god said so."

[AMS700CX4u2]

Ok, so the next generation is not going to demonstrate immunity against the most common childhood diseases and should they survive there is going to be morbidity and when adults catch those diseases they are left with more devastating residual effects. This is a true example of the word ignorance. Knowing the truth but choosing to ignore it. It is true that if you live in a rural areas your personal freedoms are greater. When you start packing people in close quarters, some of your freedoms are sacrificed for the common good.

[OneViewpoint]

They call it Floriduh for a reason.

• Conservative
• White Evangelical Christian
• Authoritarian
• Anti vaccine
• Anti science in general
• Anti Education
• Anti gun control
• Racist as hell
• Ignorant
• Stupid
• Lazy

Fine, put up quarantine centers on every road leading into another state. No one leaving Floriduh gets in until they have either proven they are vaccinated. If they don;t like it they can stay in Floriduh. All flights originating from Floriduh are subject to quarantine upon landing.

[OneViewpoint]

Making America a 3rd world country one stupid decision at a time. Throw away hundreds of years of medical research and progress. Bring back childhood diseases, smallpox, and polio for your children. Let's see if we can wipe out this MAGA filth in a couple of generations.

Health insurers should refuse to cover life saving treatment for these anti vaxxer assholes.

[contentious]

The state of Florida also dose not mandate that our citizens eat food or drive cars, yet people some how manage to make decisions that best suit our circumstances. It's amazing what the free people of Florida are capable of doing all on our own without being told what to do and when to do it by government officials.

[AviatorTom]

Well, it was never really a mandate because you could always get a religious exemption. And it didn't apply to private schools.

I don't believe all vaccines are bad, some are good, and removing a mandate is, in my opinion, risky in the long-term.

Perhaps a compromise is in order. Make vaccines fir certain diseases (MMR, for example) a strong recommendation, but don't require it.

[DrPepper12]

It's FLORIDA. Nuff said. Backwards fantasy world where reality has no place.

Quoting Liz Warren: "Make no mistake. The Trump administration WILL result in WORLD-WIDE needless deaths, injuries, lost productivity & shattered lives"

Ron DeFascist is Trump lite.

[DryGermanGuy]

American life expectancy is declining for years, this medieval idiocy will accelerate it.

[OneViewpoint]

Hopefully. And hopefully MAGA will be doing most of the dying. Just like the gun cult thing, fuck em when death comes to their doorstep by their own invitation.

[DryGermanGuy]

Straight from a real MD's mouth:

[exitseven]

He is not banning vaccines like the fake news is peddling. He is not forcing people to have to take a medication tht they do not want to take.
The constitution specifies that we are secure in our bodies.

[exitseven]

Yes another reason to move to Florida

[WindAtMyBack]

Some of the doomsday predictors are over reacting. Most kids will still get vaccines. It would probably be a small minority of kids who don't get them. It's hard to know just how many, but it's unlikely to be enough to cause any real problem.

[seeyounexttuesday]

Yup. It's a great idea to allow people bodily autonomy.

[Asker]

It is an idea that will allow unvaccinated, sick, contagious children to attend school with YOUR unvaccinated child, and sicken and kill him. Enjoy your autonomy.

[seeyounexttuesday]

If a vaccine prevents you from getting sick you don’t need me to get one

[Asker]

So everyone should get vaccinated to cater to your ignorance and lack of education?

[seeyounexttuesday]

That’s not how vaccines work. If you don’t want a disease, you get the vaccine. I don’t need you to wear a seatbelt to protect me in a crash in my car.

[Asker]

If you get killed in the crash, as long as you don't fly into me, it's not going to make too much difference to me. On the other hand, if you get sick and you are breathing the same air I'm breathing I am much more likely to get sick as a result of breathing, the air you've breathed. In case you're not aware of it. This is called contagion. You should read up on this since you apparently don't believe it.

[seeyounexttuesday]

You got the vaccine, remember? The vaccine’s only purpose is to prevent you from getting a disease you’re exposed to.

[Asker]

That is not true. In this case, the vaccine does not always prevent the disease, but instead mitigates the effect of the disease if you catch it, and usually keeps people from dying.

Why is your knowledge of all this so defective? Why do you even want to argue about this?

[seeyounexttuesday]

Ah, so that’s different definition from what the term vaccine meant up until 2021. But sure, let’s go with that…..

If it doesn’t prevent disease and mitigates effects of the disease if you catch it, then it 1) works whether I get one or not, and 2) doesn’t prevent you from spreading the disease since you have enough of the virus in you to cause a bodily reaction.

So under your revised definition, you’re lying when you accuse the unvaccinated of spreading disease.

[Asker]

You seem incapable of comprehending gradations as well as the uselessness of attempting to measure them. We know these things statistically. You cannot logically apply a reductionist analysis to individual cases as you keep attempting to do.

Benefits for yourself:

Reduced risk of severe disease: If you get sick with COVID-19 after being vaccinated, your illness is much more likely to be shorter and less severe compared to an unvaccinated person. Updated vaccines have shown a significant reduction in critical illness, emergency room visits, and hospitalizations. In some cases it may prevent diseAse altogether. (A reduced risk is not zero risk because that is not possible, but it is better than unmitigated risk).

Lower risk of Long COVID: Vaccination can substantially reduce your risk of developing Long COVID, or post-COVID conditions, which can cause long-term health issues even after a mild initial infection.

Safer immunity: Getting immunity through vaccination is safer than through infection. COVID-19 can cause serious, life-threatening complications, and there is no way to know how severely the disease will affect you.

Protection against new variants:

The virus that causes COVID-19 is constantly changing. The vaccines are updated periodically to provide enhanced protection against the currently circulating variants, similar to the annual flu shot.

[seeyounexttuesday]

lol long covid is caused by the covid-19 shot. It's a vaccine injury.

Your position doesn't pass common simple logic.
1) The shot doesn't prevent transmission
2) Therefore you can still get sick from Covid-19 despite having the shots
3) Therefore if you get sick from Covid-19 while having the shots, you can still spread the disease - the shot DOES NOT prevent the virus from going to another person.
4) Therefore, it's not "the unvaccinated" spreading Covid-19. It's anyone who gets Covid-19.

There is zero reason for a healthy person under the age of 70 to get these shots. They have caused serious heart disease among young men.

You can keep spouting the 2021 propaganda all you want, but the world has moved on from this scam.

[Asker]

I think we are all lucky that you aren't in charge of public health. I don't know where you get these ideas but I am not going to spend any more time poking holes in them. You keep making assertions without evidence regarding the covid-19 vaccine because Trump told you that you need to do this. Taking medical advice from a convicted felon who has absolutely no medical background whatsoever is probably a bad idea.

[IamRight]

Giving people a choice is good, I’m pro choice when it comes to vaccines.

[arizonasunshine]

How is this a bad thing. What happened to my body my choice?

[Sal_Monella]

They are not banning vaccines, just making them voluntary. The American way.

[DrPepper12]

Volunteering for premature death. MUH FREEDUM!!

[beefcakebradybatson]

Crazy DeFascist strikes again !!! (I believe Rabid Ronnie's 50th birthday was yesterday, Sept.2.)

[Staximus]

There is a couple they should keep like polio

[FunkyMonkee]

GOOD!! They don't fucking work, anyway and are more prone to cripple people than keep them healthy! All you need to cure covid is Robitussin CF and Tylenol!!

[Asker]

Wow - I had no idea you were a physician and an epidemiologist! Thanks for the information!

[FunkyMonkee]

No problem. Just pay my bill when you get it.

[Asker]

lol...

[In_Trance]

If vaccines truly worked this would be a non-issue right?
But it's not.
The herd immunity logic is flawed

[Asker]

Ok, please explain how the concept of herd immunity is flawed.

[dustybiker2]

www.statista.com/.../

[Asker]

So, we have a guy who KNOWS that "herd immunity logic is flawed" - but has no idea how or why. I believe his thinking, such as it is, is flawed.

[BarryLiverstone]

Expect people to die? Asker that’s evil

[Iron_Man]

that’s good

[Iron_Man]

And even if they didn’t end it , I wouldn’t take it anyway. Never again am I taking that
