What would it take for Canada and EU to close their borders?
America devolving in real time
A state full of plague rats. Sounds like a travel advisory from every government in the world that’s not as fucked up as the US’s.
There will be a loooong break at the holiday season.
This is natural selection in action
Too bad it’s going to kill innocent people and not just MAGAdiots.
Florida 2026:
Seems logical for a country that has a healthcare system that profits off people being sick… get infectious disease, end up in hospital, go broke
It doesn’t work if doctors, nurses, and the rest of healthcare get sick too. If their kids are sick, they’re typically home with them. Hospitals don’t make money without staff.
These guys don’t appear to be thinking even one step away from the immediate impact.
One can hope that at least some doctors and nurses in Florida still remember the advantages of being alive and healthy due to vaccinations.
Sure, healthcare generally gets vaccinated. The cuckoo birds that made headlines are not the majority.
The measles vaccine is ~97% preventative. We count on herd immunity to cover the remainder.
In addition, this anti-vax wave includes removing subsidizing money from the public. Availability of vaccines will decline. Requirements promote availability and free programs.
I haven’t paid for a single COVID shot or booster, have you?
As someone that used to work in a Florida hospital, a disturbing number of people don’t believe in vaccine use.
Any doctor and nurse who has the reasonable capability of leaving the state is going to do so. Unless they’re batshit crazy, in which case you don’t want to be treated by them anyway.
Yes, but herd immunity only works above a certain level. Vaccinations are not 100% effective and not every doctor or nurse can have all vaccines due to their own health conditions.
I would expect doctors and their kids to be up to date on their vaccines though, probably following the best current advice rather than the requirements.
I know here in Australia, there are vaccines that are not in the required schedule that many doctors recommend for parents.
Yes, but 95-97% effective is sufficient to usually keep one out of trouble. Extincting diseases is best, of course, but prsonally having a high level of immunity is still better that croaking because of a preventable infection.
95-97% effective is just that. It doesn’t work for 3-5% of those inmunised. Whether it reduces disease severity, hospitalisation and mortality are different questions with different stats.
Yea, but 3-5% sick is still better than close to 100% sick.
Of course. But vaccination isn’t magic either. Even if it seems so.
They still get to charge you for the room you’re taking up while not being treated.
Fucking going backwards. Way to go, USA…wtf.
The way you think of the US, the US thinks of Florida.
And the way the US thinks of Florida, Florida thinks of… uh…
Florida doesn’t do much thinking.
Usually Mississippi. But under Desantis…
Them Missisissys gonna beat us to all that sweet healthcare savins!
Build the wall! Around Florida!
Soon nobody will care about the Panama canal lol
This is going end tragically for an unthinkable number of children and immunocompromised adults.
Yup.
The Republican party are enemies of the people of the United States of America.
that’s the point.
Florida is truly the Florida of Florida.
Looks like I’m never going to Florida again
Enjoy your polio, antivaxers.
And don’t forget to buy stock in iron lung manufacturers. Gonna be a BIG spike in demand.
What a shithole country.
They will have lots of fun once they move out of there. If they get old enough in the first place.
The US is already at the tail end of modern countries when it comes to dying children due to the horrible health care. They are doing everything they can to get even worse.
