Florida Republicans now looking at rescinding measles & mumps vaccine requirements, while continuing to spread disinformation that the Covid vaccine isn't "proven to work"

It “gets more complicated,” Diaz said of striking the balance between individuals’ and employers’ rights.

Republicans opposed to so-called “vaccine passports” have faced criticism, particularly as it relates to schools where current law already requires a bevy of vaccinations. Under current law, only parents who cite religious or health reasons can have their children exempted from the vaccination requirements.

Diaz said it may be time to “review” those mandates, in place for such illnesses as mumps and measles. But he said there was a difference between long-tested vaccines and the new COVID-19 vaccine.

“I think there’s a distinction when you have something that is proven to work and doesn’t have any side effects,” Diaz said.

4. Lets just sacrifice a generation of children on the alter of anti-science.

Hell, let bring back Polio, Small Pox and Plague Next DeSantis will be releasing new strains Malarial mosquitos into our swamps; that will show the Democrats!

5. If all the Florida Men die off, what state will we be able to mock mercilessly for being

paralyzingly stupid?

I'm sure Mississippi and Alabama are up at the top of the list.

6. I really need to invest in Florida's mortuary industry.

7. How long is Disney going to stay silent?

8. Of course they are. Probably in the works elsewhere too.

If the feds can withhold funding from states till they adopt national standards like 21 year old drinking age or .08 BAC, as they once did, why can't they do the same with Covid vaccination requirements?
