Before you make your last minute spring break travel plans, you may want to check the latest news from the Sunshine State.
The following is from a piece by Eduardo Cuevas, originally published in USA Today:
Just in time for spring break trips to the waterpark and/or Disneyworld.
Meanwhile...
Haven't we discussed the spurious edicts of the good Dr. Ladapo before?
Why yes, we most certainly have...
Ladapo, who is not an infectious disease expert, also pushed hydroxycholoquine and ivermectin.
It would appear that ideology-driven public health has a long, mangy and dangerous tail, indeed.

Before you make your last minute spring break travel plans, you may want to check the latest news from the Sunshine State.
The following is from a piece by Eduardo Cuevas, originally published in USA Today:
Six children at Manatee Bay Elementary School, in Weston near Fort Lauderdale, caught the disease (measles) over a week ago. New state health data show two more cases in Broward County, of a child younger than 5 and another between ages 5 and 9.
The newly reported infections bring the total to eight, just days after Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo contradicted federal and medical professional guidance to contain the spread of the highly contagious and preventable disease...
{snip}
...In a letter Tuesday, Feb. 19 (state Surgeon General) Ladapo said Manatee Bay parents and guardians could decide whether to send their children back to school, a statement that conflicted with federal and medical professional recommendations that children from the school should remain at home to prevent the spread of measles...

Haven't we discussed the spurious edicts of the good Dr. Ladapo before?
Why yes, we most certainly have...
...Joseph A. Ladapo, a professor of medicine at the University of Florida and the state’s surgeon general (appointed by governor Ron De Santis), relied upon a flawed analysis and may have violated university research integrity rules when he issued guidance last fall discouraging young men from receiving common coronavirus vaccines, according to a report from a medical school faculty task force...{snip}...In its new report, a task force of the University of Florida College of Medicine’s Faculty Council cites numerous deficiencies in the analysis Ladapo used to justify his vaccine recommendation. A summary said the work was “seriously flawed.” The report’s authors say Ladapo engaged in “careless, irregular, or contentious research practices.”...
Ladapo, who is not an infectious disease expert, also pushed hydroxycholoquine and ivermectin.
It would appear that ideology-driven public health has a long, mangy and dangerous tail, indeed.

I am a Boomer and I remember Polio, you know polio, don't ya? I remember those hideous steel leg braces and the horrors of the iron lung.
Evil comes in all shapes and sizes but god almighty, it seems ground zero for evil is the USA.
with not much of a public health system you'd think Americans would be keen to not become ill and get their vaccines. On the other hand, given they don't care much for health care for all, I guess having people die from childhood diseases works for them. I'd stay out of that area.
#Vaccine denialism has always been with us. It seems like the religious angle has been downplayed in favour of "freedumb. Scatch down to the bare metal, and you will find the dominionist fundamentalist thought underneath. https://vancouversun.com/news/staff-blogs/dutch-reformed-conservatives-at-root-of-canadian-mumps-outbreak
