Marco Rubio: This virus only causes sore throats. Carry on spreading it around.

[Doodley]

"Record numbers testing positive for a sore throat isn't a crisis. And people in the hospital for car accidents testing positive isn't a surge," Rubio wrote. "The real crisis is the irrational hysteria which has people with no symptoms waiting hours for a test or missing work for 10 days."

He went on to encourage fans who attended Friday's Orange Bowl football game in Miami.

"Very happy to see a packed stadium for tonight's #OrangeBowl," he tweeted. "There is no reason to close, limit or cancel anything. Ignore the hysteria & have a great New Years Eve!"

1. Marco Rubio has declared that no one has died from Covid.

And he is a sitting US Senator.

Come on Florida! Rid us of this human pus-sac.

3. The Fact That This Is A Winning Strategy In FL

Tells me that it is a state with a majority of Morons, that will never go Blue.

Hope I’m proven wrong in 10 months. We’ll see.

7. Well I agree it seems like

Florida has a lot of morons, but how many will be left to vote if they refuse to get vaccinated?

[Midnight Writer]

12. DeSantis won by just 33,000 votes. Hopefully, we can GOTV and replace some of these morons.

I don't think Florida is as far out of reach as we may believe.

[Shermann]

4. I can think of 119,927 reasons

5. Anyone who is stupid enought to take medical advice from and imbecile like Marco Rubio

deserves what is coming to them. Good luck, Florida! You're going to need it.

[Tickle]

13. True

We can catch the same COVID and have different reactions. We've been reading about it for a couple of years now. There should be no excuse to say or even believe that all of us will only get a sore throat. shame rubio

[bluestarone]

6. These are the type of people that i want

COVID to hit HARD and PAINFUL!! Sorry, but they are killing Americans and they DO NOT CARE!

[Doodley]

8. My wish too. If that is the only way for them to speak the truth, I wish it on them.

[Faux pas]

9. I

wouldn't care if they were only killing each other.

[Jilly_in_VA]

10. Go out and get it, Mosquito

You asshat. Oh, I forgot, you're vaccinated. Assclown. Shut your fat face.

[spanone]

11. So marco is now an MD?

[roamer65]

14. Floriduh.

Enuff said.

[Bucky]

15. He's right. I mean, what's the Omicron Variant gonna do... MUTATE??!!!

[GoCubsGo]

18. What he fails to mention is the actual source of the sore throat.

That would be the ventilator tube that had to be shoved down said throat to help the infected person breathe.

[RandPaulsNeighbor]

16. Funny

I actually watched that terrible game. At best, the stadium was half full in the thunderdome state of Florida. Once again, to the facists, the sky is not blue and trump is not orange, and the Orange Bowl was full.

Even these, seemingly, innocuous lies must be called out.

Sorry to be starting this one off like this. Somebody, please, give me something to laugh about. I am tired of all this bull shit. ..

[gulliver]

17. His dumb Florida anti-vax constituents will take this as encouragement, when they're not the ones...

...who will be having only mild symptoms. They're the ones who will be clogging up the ICUs and raising everyone's insurance rates.

[moondust]

19. Put it on billboards

when the Florida health care system totally collapses.
