Florida Governor Ron DeSantis says healthy kids should not get the Covid-19 vaccine. More than 80% of parents of kids under five now say they have no plans to vaccinate their children right away.
Darby, Excellent piece. DeSantis is about the only thing standing between complete government takeover of everyone's life and sanity. Thank goodness we are a Republic. Let us hope "Hillary's People" don't get in proximity to him.
It is surely heartening to see somebody in government standing up against the evil of these people. Ideally he'd go even further, of course, but it seems he tries to find the point that he can go to without giving them the ammo to call him a complete nutcase, etc.
This bugs me a lot: "healthy kids should not get the Covid-19 vaccine"
Sick kids shouldn't either, of course, as the shots don't work, and even if you believe they do, these kids are more susceptible to adverse affects.
This leads to what has occurred to me about vaccines in general. The people who "need" them, shouldn't take them, as they are immuno-compromised, to some extent. And those who are healthy and can take them with low risk of adverse affects, don't need them to protect against the "disease", as they have robust immune systems that will handle it fine with low risk of complications, etc.
Of course the retort to that from the vaxxers is the questionable concept of herd immunity. The healthy kids should take them to ostensibly protect the "few" who shouldn't get them; so they say. Bah.
I completely agree. No one should be getting these shots at this point, whether healthy or sick.
And yes, it is also true for vaccines generally, that the immunocompromised shouldn't take them because they are the most likely to have adverse reactions, and the healthy shouldn't take them because they are least likely to derive any benefit relative to the risks.
That just leaves, hmmm, let's see -- nobody. Nobody should be taking any vaccines.
This is a bit OT. Yesterday, I saw a post from a pediatrician on FB asking her colleagues if they were seeing a particularly virulent bronchial illness. “Horrible wheezy” were her exact words and she has prescribed quite a bit of decadron to combat it. A colleague replied that she was seeing a lot of “metapneumo” and “paraflu” in her state. Seems odd since both of those are winter/spring illnesses. I live in a state where the vast majority of kids are vaxxed. When I went to the CDC and looked at the stats on these two illnesses, they were off the charts. I’m hoping it’s just a weird coincidence.

Will be an excellent control group. I could see the feds offering some kind of tax incentive to FL parents who vax their children too.
Queue the frantic nightly news stories about parents crossing the borders of Florida to get their babies protected

Yep, that sums it up right there.
just in time for the mid terms and with ample time for the republican party to think about who would be the best candidate in 2024...

Apparently, it is hard. No other governor in the U.S. is capable of doing the same.
Yes: both sides are equally corrupt and work for the same masters. Sad but true.
