LOL, now this idiot is talking about being careful? The guy who put Bobby Brainworm, a vaccine denialist, into a prominent position over our fucking health?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Here's hoping mar a Lago feels like a plague center every time he goes. I want him to feel unwelcome in his own home.
I want Masque of the Red Death 2: Mar a Lago Boogaloo
Nah. Grip it and rip it, red states.
My sincerest hope is that Wyoming has so many Covid parties that five progressives could walk in and get two votes in the senate and one in the house.
I call it “the shocker.”
Covid spreads, my guy.
Wyoming is next to a couple other states with significant Native American populations. The thing about vaccines is there's a lot of resistance in those populations, especially if it's white people administering them. Some of that crowd immunity we expect to have really needs to protect them too, and without it, they will be devastated by white people's policies again.
That's a very simplified statement without much cultural context, but I think it's so painful to blame the ~500k people in one large, mostly rural, largely uneducated state for this when much denser voting populations did too
This is so pathetic.
Trump, as usual, parroting the last person he spoke to - in this case someone who accepts the settled science.
Look, you have vaccines that work. They just pure and simple work. They’re not controversial at all, and I think those vaccines should be used, otherwise some people are going to catch it, and they endanger other people
If only there were some way to know which vaccines work and are worth the risk. Some kind of panel of experts who could review the evidence, request additional research where necessary, and approve those vaccines which do work and have manageable risks.
If you had that, then you could confidently impose mandates where necessary as a public health measure - because inevitably some idiots will prefer not to have vaccines because they don't understand how they work and want to rely on herd immunity.
I hope they do temper their stance on vaccines and avert the worst of the catastrophe RFK wants to unleash. However, this will sadly perpetuate the prevention paradox - vaccines have worked so well that they don't seem important.
Florida.
So many old and biologically vulnerable people to be trying this experiment.
