1. yes. at least the folks in these states will have vaccine protection--if the plan is a success.

2. And the red states will see people die off so the higher birth

rate in red states won't be such an advantage over democrats anymore.

3. Funny... but misses reality

Vaccination requirements are already a state role. The CDC just makes recommendations.to the states.

4. So it's not unusual that

health officials from eight states meet to coordinate vaccine policy at the exclusion of the CDC?

[FBaggins]

6. Oh it's unusual... it just isn't a new "states' rights" thing

States already control which vaccines are required.

Conversely, no state or group of states can approve a drug for use if the FDA won't.

5. Can Michigan get in on the deal?

We have a close relationship with Canada, too. Mane we can work out a whole big “new Provinces” thing.

7. I'm in NH and yes...

We are the Alabama of the North.

(Now I appreciate all the good people in Alabama for hanging in there)
