offered a job in Fla., I'd recommend turning it down. It's one thing to kill off the codgers like me, but there's no need to wipe out the upcoming generation.

I blame the Surgeon General, Joseph Ledapo. He was tied in with that "medical" group, America's Frontline Doctors. It had ties to the Tea Party and is anti-vaxx. During Covid they fought to have hydroxy and ivermectin as the preferred treatment.

Don't know if anybody here remembers, but on July 27, 2020, that group -- including Ledapo -- gathered in front of the Supreme Court for an event called "The White Coat Summit." They made their Covid recommendations. When djt was asked about the group, he said they were "very well respected" doctors.

In 2023, following an investigation, Ledapo was rebuked by the CDC and the FDA for disseminating misinformation about vaccinations. He was accused of misinterpreting data. (source: Wikipedia)

Last year, during a measles outbreak in Fla., he said parents could decide whether to send their kids to school or not. CDC advised a 21-day quarantine in recovering cases. (source: Wikipedia)

It affects me personally because I can't take vaccines due to a pre-existing condition. Have depended on herd immunity all my life. Very concerning.
