Trump to oppose vaccines in public schools.

[GreenWave]

https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/other/truly-dystopian-experts-worry-trump-s-school-vaccine-plan-will-spark-public-health-catastrophe/ar-BB1jjqum

A former lawmaker raised alarms after former President Donald Trump's vow in Virginia to defund public schools that require vaccines.

Trump, who has repeatedly vowed not to "give one penny to any school that has a vaccine mandate," repeated his call during an appearance in Richmond on Saturday, according to former Rep. Barbara Comstock, R-Va.

"Trump said in Richmond, that he will take all federal funds away from public schools that require vaccines," she tweeted. "Like most states, Virginia requires MMR vaccine, chickenpox vaccine, polio, etc. So Trump would take millions in federal funds away from all Virginia public schools."

This monster is way beyond crazy. Mumps, measles, small pox, chicken pox, polio etc. can run rampant. Another Fl legislator says parents decide if their kids infected with measles can go to school or not, not the school.

1. Like Covid he'll murder others if this happens

May he will die soon.

24. Just like his dad Fred, if Woody Guthrie is to be believed.

And i do think Woody sings the truth.

[CrispyQ]

47. I did not know that.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Man_Trump

Fascinating. Love the photo of Woody with his guitar with the sign, "This machine kills fascists."

Thanks for that bit of info!

[GreenWave]

50. He never published it? IDK legal threat?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Man_Trump

and more detailed:
https://theconversation.com/woody-guthrie-old-man-trump-and-a-real-estate-empires-racist-foundations-53026

I will try to find the one link where he talks about plagues and Fred hoping for more.

[CrispyQ]

52. Great article!

I have to admit I didn't know much about Woody Guthrie except his song "This Land is Your Land," but now that song has so much more meaning.

[LA Blue Bengal]

70. Billy Brag and Wilco

Billy Bragg and Wilco covered "All You Fascists Bound To Lose" in 2000:

[Abolishinist]

93. Thanks! I had no idea.

I suppose
Old Man Trump knows
Just how much
Racial Hate
He stirred up
In the bloodpot of human hearts
When he drawed
That color line
Here at his Beach Haven family project

[Diamond_Dog]

39. I can't wait, Duncanpup.

Every day when I first scan the headlines I hope I will see the news of it.

[jimfields33]

51. Never heard of schools giving vaccines.

Parents could take the kids when they get theirs. Is this a new thing?

[getagrip_already]

53. Dont know about today, but i used to get vaccinated in school

Back in the 60's and 70's in ny.

It was a thing in public schools.

But in this case they are just requiring kids show proof of vaccination prior to the first day of school.

[Conjuay]

57. It was in private schools as well-

The whole class would walk down to the ‘nurse’s office’ and suffer the humiliation of these four foot long needles being trussed into your ‘non-writing’ arm.
Well that’s what it seemed like at eight or nine..

[jimfields33]

67. Sounds dreadful even though it kept you alive.

[Kennah]

63. I remember getting vaccinated at school

[murielm99]

66. I remember, too.

When I was in first grade, a little girl got hepatitis. Our entire class, and her sister's third grade class, were vaccinated. I KNOW those needles were at least four feet long!

[PortTack]

102. Same

[Mad_Machine76]

56. Schools may not give them

But require certain ones for children to attend

[Old Crank]

99. Way back in the anals of history.

I went to Canadian Air Force schools. We woiuld get our shots at school. Line up a class at a time. They would let the parents know so we could wear something that you could readily bare your shoulder. I remember a couple of years we actually got 'Shots' they had a gun like device that didn't use a needle at all. Just high pressure. Here is a write up.

[jpak]

2. I never thought i would hear such ignorant nonsense

Evah

Complete gop suckage.

Yup

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

11. Especially egregious coming from

the mouths of the same bunch of people who screamed about “death panels” years back. Now they support a monster who will do untold damage to us all if he manages to get re-elected.

Many of these same people who are screaming about vaccines and “medical freedom” likely never had to experience suffering from these diseases thanks to vaccines we all received growing up. And for military vets, there was extra doses of these vaccinations which I was glad to receive.

There is a large group of American citizens who seem to have no common sense or empathy for others and it is terrifying.

[GreenWave]

25. I just voted and you could see the lifeless expressions on the magats.

Their whole soul has been sucked out of them.

[malaise]

3. Get thee to the Greatest Page for visibility

Stop this fucking moron - he already caused the deaths of more than a million people because Covid was going to disappear before Easter of 2020

[GreenWave]

27. The more he spews his madness the more I think maybe he really is the Anti-Christ.

He just wants to see how many he can kill.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

100. traitortrump spews what he hears on RW media and thinks is popular.

[multigraincracker]

4. A out break of any of those could wipe out

TFG.

[GreenWave]

29. Unfortunately a lot of good folks would be wiped out too.

[Walleye]

5. Of course Trump is safely hiding behind the vaccines he got as a child. Including polio

[GreenWave]

30. right you are and the hate outlets will be vaxed too, but not advertising it.

[Kennah]

64. But no syph vax for TFG

[Walleye]

69. Ha I bet he doesn't even use condoms

[Kennah]

73. Not with his inflatable girlfriends

[SunSeeker]

6. If there was a God, Trump would catch measles. nt

[GreenWave]

31. Hopefully internal measels if such things exist..

[3catwoman3]

105. There is measles pneumonia...

...and measles encephalitis (brain). Both quite dangerous.

[Emile]

7. Trump would have never made it in the military.

[GreenWave]

34. Might be why he has no respect for them to hide his incompetence.

[Rhiannon12866]

8. Is he hoping for another pandemic?!

[ProudMNDemocrat]

12. YES! To validate his point that government does not work.

STUPID and DANGEROUS at the same time.

[Rhiannon12866]

13. How many Americans died from his inaction or following his "suggestions" the last time??

[ProudMNDemocrat]

15. Way too many to count.

[GreenWave]

35. And sadly they took a lot of good people with them too.

[Justice matters.]

79. Here's a pic showing the average overkilled... compared to Canada (universal healthcare)

Almost three times more deaths per 100,000 people. Where are the EFFING corporate-media's memories???

[yonder]

95. He might as well remove school zone crosswalks, stop signs and speed limits too.

Clean water, safe food requirements? Nah. Engineering and structural standards for buildings and bridges? Too expensive. How about a standing military presence? Nope, the meal team six folks can pick up that slack.

The list goes on and on and on. TSF is a huge threat while his supporters yuk it up saying "that's just Trump being Trump, no worries".

[Old Crank]

9. Now the rest will line up behind him

What a disgusting pile he is.

[GreenWave]

36. Let's see if our local media pick up the story.

It should devastate the GQP or we are already in Hell.

[Old Crank]

42. I wouldn't hold your breath

If I were you.

[Martin Eden]

10. GQP would probably name it the Protect Children Act

The product of SICK minds.

[GreenWave]

37. Thinning the herd early they can call it.

[Martin Eden]

75. At least they won't be WOKE

Better dead than well read.
Collateral damge in the culture war.

[dalton99a]

14. The traitor loves to kill Americans.

[GreenWave]

38. That stat needs to get out. Life expectancy during Trump dropped!

[WA-03 Democrat]

16. RFK jr

Must be close to that vp spot

[GreenWave]

40. Wouldn't surpirse me if IQ 45 called him JFK a few times too.

[mwb970]

17. Does he WANT us all to die?

Jesus, what a terrible, terrible man this is! A true human monster. Pure evil.

[Johonny]

33. He has a life expectancy of minutes

He doesn't care about the future only himself.

[GreenWave]

41. As close to the Anti-Christ as we will ever see.

[Stuart G]

71. CORRECT......PURE EVIL...!!!!!

[Norbert]

18. When I was a kid I ate a sugar cube

Probably the sugar itself was more harmful to this then virgin body of mine than the polio vaccine it was tainted with. Thank God I had a loving set of parents that stood by me as I took it and President Eisenhower that had no problem with it

I can't see where this will help the orange malignancy other than he will get the RFK Jr vote.

[GreenWave]

43. He should lose all the rest of the votes if they truly care.

[mopinko]

19. he's the opposite of a leader. he's a follower of the worst ppl in this country.

pandering to your base is 1 thing in normal times. pandering to his absolutely lunatic base is something only a complete lunatic wd do.

[LymphocyteLover]

20. he is a demented mass murderer

[bmichaelh]

21. Not sure of his appeal

Trump is:

(from Merchant of Venice)
"When he is best he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worse he is a little better than a beast."

Why create a healthcare crisis?

I do not see the appeal of that man.
I do not know of anything that he has touched and made it better.

[Voltaire2]

22. Fortunately not small pox

it’s been eradicated because we used to not be fucking idiots. Same with polio, but that does still exist in a few isolated regions of the world, so theoretically it could make a comeback.

The Assault of the Idiots is exhausting.

[GreenWave]

45. I thought so too, but didn't the Plague temporarily rear its ugly head during our lifetime?

Here it is. below Now this gets controlled . Under Trump laughter and cynical mockery erupt and it spreads.

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/plague-still-exists-heres-where-and-how-it-spreads-in-the-u-s/

[Voltaire2]

62. 'the plague' has never been eradicated. Also it isn't smallpox.

Generally 'the plague' refers to bubonic plague, and it doesn't really constitute a risk, mostly because we keep rats and fleas under control.

[TSExile]

23. He is, literally, the candidate of DEATH.

RAPIST, thief, liar and MURDERER.

[Justice matters.]

81. MASS MURDERER who only cares about himself "not losing again"...

Where are the effin corporate media's memories?? They want another pandemic??

Canada has a single-payer universal healthcare system (like many European countries where their numbers were close relatively).

[TSExile]

85. Not only that...

...but I also hold him personally responsible for the deaths of everyone who died at or as a direct result of the insurrection on 1/6. He is indeed a mass murderer.

[Joe Cool]

26. Vote for Trump if you love pandemics

The man is completely unhinged.

[no_hypocrisy]

28. JFC! What will he demand next?

Children who are contagious with measles, rubella, Covid can't be refused to attend public schools because to do otherwise would deny them education?

[cilla4progress]

32. He craves death and sufferring.

All he's ever wanted.

[barbaraann]

58. His father had him repeat "I am a killer. I am a king."

I think Mary Trump has talked about that.

https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/03/2016-donald-trump-brutal-worldview-father-coach-213750/

[cilla4progress]

68. Omigod

for real???

[barbaraann]

74. Yes.

For real.

[limbicnuminousity]

80. Pretty sick.

Could almost feel an ounce of sympathy in a different timeline if Trump were a better human being. He could have rebelled as a teen and said "my dad is a psychopathic asshole." Lots of people figure things like that out. He just liked the money too much. Stupid son of a bitch sold his humanity for some gaudy hotels, golf courses and mail-order brides. And he's losing it all because he's that horrible.

[Lovie777]

44. And all those deaths and pre-existing conditions cause by COVID.........................

while he was acting like the medicine man, and while his administration was stealing and selling necessary medical equipment to states at high cost.

Fuck him and his party.

[-misanthroptimist]

46. I see a campaign commercial for President Biden and Democrats:

Begin with Trump's anti-vax rant and promise to cut funding. Photos of old graves of children under five from the days before vaccines were required. Fade in the age 0-5 mortality statistics for that time period (which was nearly half). Ask, "Is this what you want your President to do?"

[Justice matters.]

86. Refresh forgotten memories in ads with graphics like this one:

[bucolic_frolic]

48. Vax freedom but anti-abortion regulation

They're trying to escape the box they're in by focusing on another issue

[limbicnuminousity]

49. I wonder how this anti-vaccine mentality is going to play out long term

Consider. At least a generation of young people growing up in these hellholes will carry the knowledge that their elders and leaders said "the kids aren't important enough to protect from disease."

Will it be surprising to anyone if or when their children grow up and decapitate them?
Will it be surprising when this younger generation declines to care for their elderly in future years?
Will anyone be surprised when right-wing politicians are vaccinated on the sly leaving their constituents to treat measles, syphilis, antibiotic-resistant gonorrhea, covid, rabies, dengue and polio by drinking bleach?

[Turbineguy]

54. School shootings are not killing enough children.

according to those geniuses.

[barbaraann]

55. Moronicide.

Does the love of power always degenerate into perverse sadism?

[bucolic_frolic]

59. CristoFascism - Salvation through suffering to juice church cult coffers

It's all a money and marketing plan. Go to church for fire and brimstone. Why is anyone surprised? That's what they're selling.

Parishoners are the raw material. Give them what they paid for. Suffer. Pain. Death. Pay for funerals and burial plots.

By denying vaccines they are recreating the economic conditions and pestilence of 1600, when churches grew like wildfire.

If human problems are solved and peace breaks out, there is no pain and suffering. You grow old, you die. Ho-hum. Churches become irrelevant.

[thesquanderer]

60. FWIW, public schools get little of their funding from the federal government to begin with.

average 7.6% according to https://usafacts.org/articles/how-are-public-schools-funded/

It also wouldn't be up to Trump alone... I would hope that this would not be something congress would pass regardless.

[Johnny2X2X]

61. It's all coming back

The Measles, Mumps, even probably Polio. The antivax movement has allies in Congress and it's going to result in thousands of sick children.

I came of age in the 70s and 80s, there were still remnants of prevaccine America. There was a guy in our neighborhood who had the Mumps when he was a kid so severely that it did brain damage, he never moved out of his parents and was never able to function as an adult. These diseases are dangerous, they will kill some, but they will have lifelong effects for many others.

[Stuart G]

65. ???????? ........TAKE A LOOK AT POLIO EPIDEMIC IN EARLY 50s....Then take a look at Donald Trump...

He defines the word......................'STUPIDITY"..........!!!!

Of course he doesn't care, as long as appeals to his base..

[elleng]

72. It surely will.

[Freethinker65]

76. So I assume banning all public health is also on the agenda?

[IronLionZion]

77. I wish the chickenpox vaccine was available when I was a kid

I have to worry about the risk of shingles later in life since the virus is laying dormant inside me.

That's the thing about viruses, they spread to other people. Individual choice can still impact others who didn't make the choice.

[kimbutgar]

78. This will add an excellent commercial using his words and then showing the effects of people suffering

From Measles, Mumps, Runella, Polio etc. and dying or king term effects.

[Justice matters.]

88. Yes. Waiting for the ads... though.

[republianmushroom]

82. The rebirth of POLIO !

Lived where polio was epidemic every summer s a kid.
We don't want to go there again.

[Paladin]

83. Criminal negligence on a national scale. (nt)

[Evolve Dammit]

84. Donnie Dipshit really is a stupid fuck. Of course he's fully vaxxed..... More lies and gaslighting

[Paladin]

87. Biden needs to make this a huge issue! (nt)

[Justice matters.]

90. Why his campaign not showing this mass-murderer's "accomplishments" in killing US citizens?

Literally killing three times more from COVID than other G7 countries. Where are the ads?? It's not like everyone has forgotten his abject record already, right?

[Kennah]

89. Americans' Largely Positive Views of Childhood Vaccines Hold Steady

https://www.pewresearch.org/science/2023/05/16/americans-largely-positive-views-of-childhood-vaccines-hold-steady/#:~:text=On%20balance%2C%20more%20Americans%20say,benefits%20and%20side%20effects%20risk.

The Center survey finds 88% of Americans say the benefits of childhood vaccines for measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) outweigh the risks, compared with just 10% who say the risks outweigh the benefits.

******************************************************

Perhaps this will be TFG's Waterloo--but the TFG probably thinks that's a battle from WWII where the F-52 showed it's air superiority.

[BradBo]

91. Trump is a dangerous blithering idiot.

[moondust]

92. Is he pushing private schooling?

Defunding public schools would tend to boost private schooling. See if he now proposes more funding for home schooling. Dr. Ladapoopoo in Fl will back him up, even though he needs to have his medical license revoked for endangering public health.

Disqualified! Yet again!

[senseandsensibility]

94. We need to scream this from the rooftops!

Suburban women are not going to support this @##!! The guy is giving us SO much to work with!

[Warpy]

96. He's a malignant narcissist

Since this country deprived him of his favorite bauble, the presidency (not that he cared to work at it), he's going to be looking for ways to punish the whole country.

Starting with the kiddies? Miller or Stone must have suggested that one to him.

I get it that ignorant people don't like being told what to do by a public health department. However, it is a bit different from being told what to wear, what to say, what to think, how to dress, and the thousand other tyrannies of a government by men, not laws. The former protects all of us. The latter just protects men holding power.

Sadly, media are more interested in playing "gotcha" with Democrats than they are in informing people about preventing deadly disease.

[appleannie1]

97. The sickest I ever was as a child was when I had measles.

I was so sick I did not mind staying in bed for over a week. Aunt Lottie put me in her bed so she could tend to me during the night. At the same time, my 2 year old brother had measles and chicken pox at the same time. Mom would rock him all day long sitting in a rocking chair. When dad came home from work, he would hold him while mom made supper for the rest of the family. There were a couple times he stopped breathing so someone held him constantly. Both my parents thought he would not live he was so sick. Childhood diseases are nothing to take chances with, especially measles, small pox, and polio.

[Initech]

98. What could possibly go wrong?

These fuckers are crazy and scary. They do not live in reality. This is going to get lots of people killed and it will bring back diseases that have previously been eradicated. Fuck anti-vaxxers to the hottest circle of fucking hell.

[Vogon_Glory]

101. If enough idiots vote for Trump, we'll get

Death (from disease and healthcare cuts), famine (from climate change and other reasons), war (for not standing up to Putin and other tyrants). That’s three horsemen from the Apocalypse! One to go!

[brush]

103. trump is an absolute moron. He got covid because he wouldn't mask and get the vaxx...

and was only saved by specialized, very expensive rare treatment...which most can afford.

Just a fool who's gotten his way in life because he inherited his old man's money...plus the money he and his sister stole from their late brother's estate.

[spanone]

104. Great... that should run many off
