It's because of transgenders! And Antifa! And people kneeling at the Superb owl!

Anyway, it's all fake news. And the dems' fault. And something something Clinton.

Besides, I'd rather my kids die from 3rd world illnesses than have autism in my house.

If it was only idiots who died from this kind of thing, it would be funny. Many innocent people will suffer and die, too. But somehow we're supposed to treat republicans like a legitimate political party and their members like reasonable people.

But but but my main goal in life is to make floridian lawmakers and lobbyists more powerful than anyone else so who cares about disease and stuff.

I have zero sympathy for the contents in the Florida Oblast. Zero!

Step one: Shoot foot with shotgun Step two: why does my foot need to be amputated??

step 3: crippling hospital bills

step 4: debtor's prison step 5: can never leave the state again because you owe rent to debtor's prison

Did the (mostly) children getting whooping cough vote for it? Because if not that’s not really leopards eating faces. It’s just kids getting sick from stupid ass policies they had no say in.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

It's leopards eating faces if their parents care that they have whooping cough. Which isn't a given.

[–] MyOpinion@lemmy.today 4 points 2 days ago

Making kids dead again. Good old MAGA morons.

[–] BetaBlake@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Republicans and social nedia have brought back old illnesses

Well it sure beats being gay, am i right Florida?!

Uh oh. I forgot.

Glad to see Darwinian evolution playing out. The children of the stupid are dieing off. Hopefully this means the next generation won't buy into Brawndo being what plants crave

The children who are going to suffer and die from this didn't ask for it, it was their parents who are themselves vaccinated.

[–] lavander@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 1 day ago

Fake news! There have always been whooping cough! My cousin took it! And he is fine! Better than the risk of microchip 5G in the vaccines!

I keep quoting that one famous Iowan: Let them die.

[–] EndOfLine@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I wonder what impact this has had / will have on the for-profit health care industry in the US.

The ONLY way to Prevent this is to PRAY MORE! Also we DONT want to Prevent it because Whooping Cough SAVES the Children!
