good question
We had
The soy milk/unpasteurized milk/no milk group driven by the autism link fraud. Now we have the moron crowd drive by Facebook and RWNJs.
Iâd guess the purely uneducated is a smaller fraction than either of these two.

Can anyone explain why Florida is getting hit so much worse than all the other states in the area right now? Data Iâm seeing has Florida as the most vaccinated state in the southeast.
Trajectories arenât great, but places like Alabama, Kentucky, Georgia, etc. are still well off their highs in January, while Florida is breaking new daily records.
Whatâs going on?
I expect tourism has a role. Lots of people coming in bring it with them. But that is a guess.

yeah thatâs the thing. the profile of the median antivaxxer that weâre picturing in our heads has shifted wildly in the last 18 months. but I wonder if a bunch of this wasnât already bubbling under the surface and we just missed it.
Trolly beat me to it, but the answer is Desantis.
You have the Governor of Alabama straight up blaming the unvaccinated for whatâs left of the pandemic. On the other hand, Desantis, who does have enough plausible deniability to claim that he is not really antivaxx, is bending over backwards to pander to the non-masking, non-vaxxing folk.
While all the states on your list are red (inc. GA as far as this is concerned), there are differences in how theyâre being run. Specifically, the rest of them arenât being run by DeSantis.

Shit, Mike Judge beat you to that revelation by 15 years
When do we get to anti-vaxxers paying higher health insurance premiums, like smokers?
Iâm not real happy about my premiums going up to pay for a double lung transplant that could have easily been avoided.

âIn March 2018, three women accused Byrd of sexually abusing them while they were underage members of the high school basketball team he coached. Each of the three women detailed instances of Byrd touching and kissing them and making unwanted advances over 30 years prior, in 1988.[5] Byrd did not initially directly refute the allegations, and apologized to one of the women, but later issued a statement denying the accusations and âquestioning the motivesâ of his accusers. He resisted calls to resign from influential Republicans such as Speaker of the Tennessee House of Representatives Beth Harwell, and won re-election in 2018 in a landslide.[6]â
As always, evil just wont fucking die to this thing.

He was raising the alarm about variants. But he also was pushing hard that the vaccine was no longer effective. The later was the issue and he would not really separate the two.

Less effective with regards to stopping transmission
Yeah basically half as effective.
A provision of Obamacare is that the only ways insurance can discriminate for individuall plans is age and smoking. I donât know whether insurance companies can offer lower rates for a vax requirement to employers who offer group plans.
