On Tuesday, nearly 20 percent of the school’s 1,067 students were reportedly absent.
What the hell is wrong over there? At the moment i think every news article considering the US is making me shaking my head harder…
We’ve got a little trouble with an apocalyptic death cult. I mean, we would send them back to you guys…
I mean most people from the US ask “What the hell is wrong over there?” About Florida pretty regularly. So clearly the other 49 states also have no clue either.
Ladapo is a quack that should be thrown in jail for child endangerment.
I have to get out of this state before it kills me.
Panic?
Yeah this checks out for Florida. I wouldn’t be surprised if the vaccination rate declines over the next few years. Talk about having a burr up your ass from Covid vaccines.
I’m pretty okay with where Florida is going. Just keep it in Florida
Yeah, we should be good until climate refugee crisis in 2029.
Poor Canada is going to have a border problem 😅
Americans will suddenly be offended they can’t just go to Canada to live and work.
I love that episode of South Park.

Garrison gets the entire town behind his proposal to literally “fuck the Canadians to death”, then build a wall to prevent further illegal immigration from Canada. However, it is discovered that Canada has already built an immense border wall of its own, to (according to a Canada border guard) prevent Americans from raping Canadian women and preserve Canada’s “cool shit”.
Unfortunately this is affecting kids. The ignorant adults can Darwin themselves however they want.
Man. Florida fucking sucks.
Bugs Bunny was right, we should just saw it off and push it into the ocean
This state is being ran by trash people, same as the rest of the red states.
Edit: All of you getting excited to see Florida get destroyed can fuck right off, normal people who don’t vote for conservatives live here too, grow tf up and stop treating these things like it’s team sports. The GOP is the problem, not some random citizens of the states they hold hostage.
The only positive aspect of climate change is that it will largely take care of Florida.
They’ll just migrate deeper into the country then. It’s too gradual to take care of much.
Just gotta keep em from migrating northward.

Thanks for hoping that my family and I lose our homes, dick.
Just sell them to some conservative retiree moving south for the freedums.
Unless that retiree is Aquaman, it might be a hard sell.
I understood that reference
You know you sound like one of those conservative assholes right now, right? Are you going to tell me to make some sneakers or NFTs next?
This is our home dickhead, home to three generations of my family in four separate houses, so that’s not an easy sell to move, especially when your parents are dead set on dying here. Maybe try not acting like a f’n sociopath and remember that millions of real people who have never ever voted conservative and continue to work against conservatives live in this state.
You ok?
Do we have enough paper to print darwin awards?
Gonna have to dust off the ole Herman Cain Award in short order. I for one am excited for a second round of schadenfreude.
I don’t think the Darwin Awards apply here if it wasn’t the decision of the deceased (child) to do the stupid thing, but of the parent(s). I would rather consider a “murder your child / make them handicapped for life” award in the form of a trial and imprisonment for endangering your child.
Maybe the parents could get Darwin awards for still managing to prevent their genes from propagating.
Exactly its just bad luck the dead children had dumb parents.
Nope. Forced-Birth certificates used it all up.
The pro life party, ladies and gentlemen.

The same. A different BS reason would have been made up instead.
In the absence of the horrors of the diseases, people do not understand it’s risks.
For a large percentage of people, the fear of things they don’t understand, outweigh then knowledge of the horrors of the diseases.
It’s why I am in favor of mandated immunizations for minors (no exceptions other than serious medical conditions.).
The only qualification to be a parent is functional gonads. Their brains don’t have to be fully functional.
If autism wasn’t stigmatized, Wakefield would’ve chosen something else in his attack campaign of the MMR vaccine when coming out with his own alternative
Waiting for the responsible parents who pulled their kids out to get charged for truancy.
I hate my state so much man. Nothing but the worst of the worst here.
As someone who lives in Texas, I can sympathize.
Appreciate you both. Edit: from coastal elite ivory tower
“My kid got measles and it’s my fault, can I get a WHOOP WHOOP”
Best I can do is whooping cough.
I’m 53. I have never met, or heard of, a person that had measles. I honestly don’t really know what it is.
As kids, we all thought that shit was extinct. Measles were as irrelevant as smallpox and polio.
I’m 37 and was born immunocompromised so didn’t get any vaccines when I was younger. I went on to get measles and mumps. Measles almost killed me. Honestly, fuck antivaxxers, they can all go get fucked.
Polio is back too. No word on smallpox yet.
Is polio really back? I haven’t heard anything about it in years except the drive to finally eradicate it.
Unlike smallpox, no other global campaign to eradicate diseases has ever happened.
There are a few others, but they have succeeded yet. Anti-vaxxers aren’t helping.
It is remarkable in its own way, though. We live in the only time period of human history where we can plausibly say an entire disease has gone away, and not just for rich people.
Not really. There are some vaccine related cases but nothing naturally occurring that I know of.
Cheers. Well that’s depressing.
Jesus. My grandmother had polo as a child and was wheelchair bound for life because of it. And it’s coming back. All because some idoits think they know better than decades of science.
You don’t get it man, it’s like the man, man. He lies to make money so he can mine gold for the aliens since they all took over positions of power and demand gold for their… Planet? So the vaccines actually make you a dwarf miner that wants nothing more than to mine gold for the aliens, or the rich dude, for the aliens, yeah that one.
It’s so obvious sheep! All you need to do is open your eyes and listen to the totally free and not biased at all PatriotMuricaPatriotMomsBasementPatriotReport.Freedom/liberty podcast! He’s just one of us so he can be trusted™
In today’s internet, I really hope you dropped the /s
My mom lost a brother to measles in the 50s. She is hard core pro-vacination, and will to this day proudly show off the scar from getting one of the first polio vaccines.
I’m a bit younger than you but I remember measles was something recent when I was a kid, but it also wasn’t something that any of my contemporaries caught. This is what happens when you spend 40 years telling everyone that their opinion matters; your opinion doesn’t mean shit when it goes against verifiable scientific research.
Regressives gonna regress, unfortunately.
I’m around your age and didn’t have measles but did have mumps (the other M in the MMR shot) and everyone I knew had chicken pox. I don’t know how the immunizations worked back then (what the schedule was) we did get the shots. Had mumps as a preschooler, chicken pox around 7. Uncomplicated both times, my brothers were younger when the chicken pox came through and had it worse.
However, due to the high immunity rate in the community, as well as the burden on families and educational costs of healthy children missing school, [the health department] is deferring to parents or guardians to make decisions about school attendance."
This is fucking bonkers.
We know it’s hard on you, so fuck preventing a breakout of the most contagious disease we’ve encountered, that not only is bad on its own, but resets your immunity fucking you over even more for years to come.
Well yeah, but if it gives you immune amnesia then it’s like you were never vaccinated for all the other things too.
It’s the antivaxxer’s re-virginization.
I wouldn’t be surprised if some intentionally infected their kids to undo past required vaccinations.
You can be revirginized once before you become immune to revirginization!
Wait, measles resets your immunity? Your immunity to what? Measles? Everything?
Here’s an article that describes the “immunity reset” aspect of measles: https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20211112-the-people-with-immune-amnesia
Recent research suggests it wipes a large portion of it.
https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/hsph-in-the-news/measles-immune-system-memory/
Everything. The adaptations your body has learned to fight other diseases are stored as T-cells. When you need more of that particular kind of thing, your body goes and runs off copies. Measles kills your T-cells, so your body can’t copy the old adaptations, only make blank-slate factory-new ones.
TIL we found the factory reset button for the human immune system.
If only. You’d think it could potentially fix some auto immune disorders as a side effect, but nope, all negatives.
Holy shit. TIL. We should be good if we were vaccinated forever ago when we were kids, right?
Yes.
Thanks :)

It’s how they roll.
