I saw a great quote recently from none other than John Wayne. “Life is tough, but it’s even tougher when you’re stupid.” Made me think of the anti-vaxxers.

Sorry, this time the barrel is aimed at the head of anyone who happens to want a vaccine, and can't. The sheer incompetence of every single Republican governor and state legislature (usually Republican dominated) is staggering. Just plain overwhelmingly staggering.

They're literally killing their own citizens, and they can't even begin to run their vaccination programs. This is criminal.

God, I'm so glad that I live in a Democratic state where the governor believes in science. (I voted her in, too!) God bless Janet Mills and Nirav Shah, who are keeping Maine from going the way of Tennessee-because Paul LePage (you've heard of him, haven't you? The mini-Trump?), had he been in office, would have done exactly the same thing as any other Republican governor and condemned thousands of Mainers to an early death.

Republicans have a death wish..on their fellow citizens.

The Scopes Trial centennial is coming up. And absolutely nothing has changed.

Wait a minute—WHAT??? They wanted to ban outreach to minors regarding ALL vaccines in TN? Not just for COVID vaccines, but also for polio vaccine, shots against measles, mumps, chicken pox, shingles, pneumonia, tetanus, whooping cough, influenza? Unbe-fucking-lievable! But now they aren’t going to do that. OK—? Still glad to know that tRump- worshiping Covidiots down there are dying in ever- increasing numbers. Forward with the Self-Extermination of the Stupid!

“The state announced that all vaccine outreach programs to minors would cease. Not just COVID vaccinations, all vaccinations.”

These people are KILLING our children. WTF. Or should I say, “The Shock Doctrine” by Naomi Klein.

Excuse me. I meant “list.” However, Tennessee resides in the “least” column as well.

Yep, the Volunteer state is led by those trying to persuade her citizens to freely do what’s good for the community…right.

"We're shooting to get the message to parents." We're shooting the message at parents. We're shooting parents with the message? I can't even . . . Do these people even hear what they're saying?

I live in a red state and am in perpetual self quarantine because of it. I have family in MS, FL, Louisiana, Alabama and OK. I will not venture one foot into those red states - which are as bad, if not worse, than TX. All of us are vaccinated, but my recent experience in the ER is proof positive of how vulnerable we continue to be thanks to the nutcases running around with no masks, no vaccines, and no brains. Oh, but they are LOADED with "rights."
