In reply to the discussion: Mississippi asks Biden administration to send military hospital ship [View all]ShazzieB
(22,637 posts)16. Mississippians wouldn't take the FREE vaccine that was offered to them.
And now that the very predictable results are here, state health officials are like, "Joe, please save our state from the stupidity of its residents!"
Of course, the state health officials asking for this ship aren't the same people who are going, "Vaccines? We don't need no stinkin' vaccines!" But I can't help wondering how hard those same state health officials have really tried to promote the vaccines and convince people to take them.
Of course we should help them, for moral and ethical reasons. But imo, that help should come with a good talking to about getting people's asses vaccinated.

So, which landlocked red state will be the first to ask for help from the military ship?

Just a tropical depression near Cuba, and another unlikely hurricane formation in the Atlantic.

You are correct about TriCare but part of the reason is the end of the draft.
