These anti-Vaxx idiots are going to hurt an entire new generation of children that do not deserve it.
It would be one thing if it could hurt the idiots themselves.
These intentionally stupid people are evil.
Say whaaat?!
Jared Polis, please be even more specific.
I was unable to tell if this was sarcasm or a plea to be on the right side of history with some ego stroking.
i've been thinking about this one for a bit. i wonder if he's using the "common ground" strategy. the line that sticks out is the bans are bad line and then puts "just like mandates" in as a parenthetical. use the "freedom" buzzword to establish common ground and try to prevent outright bans
Yeah. I live in Colorado and this makes no sense coming from him. I’m all for taking a serious look at our government’s approach to health, but JFK JR?
I mean at least having the option I think is more reasonable than a ban to bring back disease on a large scale. But now we the people are being punished bc they couldn’t figure out Putin. Like how ridiculous is it that we do not know what they were going to do?
I see this and find it really difficult to believe. Was his account hacked or is he complicit with these fascists? Given his background as both a Gay man and as a Jew who lost family in the Holocaust. It is absurd that he would be duplicitous. If he is f**k him.
Hard to imagination how lax regulation doesn’t make everything less safe while simultaneously lining the coffers of Big Ag and Big Pharma, but ok. 🤷♀️
begging anyone who thinks he went full brain worms to read the rest of his post
it's mostly about the bad/corrupt regulatory environment that's jacking up prices. he's doing a good job, as governor, to push a "tear it all down" populist in that direction and away from vaccine bans
Colorado voter. I have really liked Polis. This is an unforgivable sin. Dems could run Daffy Duck and I'm voting for that dabbling duck in the primary.
What did mandates for vaccines do. Hmmm. wipe out childhood diseases!! It just amazes me. How many people are so ignorant and stupid when we have more
Information then ever before right at our fingertips. I'm 59 years old. I just don't get it. I'm to the point, I'm just gonna start calling them out.
Now how is this making any sense with the anti abortion crowd. Birth all those babies and let them die from preventable childhood diseases that vaccines prevent. Make it make sense!!!!
This is insane. WTF is Polis thinking!? Sure, big pharma and big ag are due for a reckoning for driving up prices and limiting choices. But no matter now noble the goal, you don't put a lunatic in charge of the implementation!
Ugh! This is probably my biggest concern. What will have an every day impact on me/my family. But have we forgotten the rewriting reports and massaging data that happened under the TFG administration? We get so much data from the government. It’s going to disappear. Who’s going to trust this data?
If you click / tap on it the image might show up. Some of the media posted on here just seems to have broken thumbnails today and I assume it has to do with the massive influx of new accounts from people leaving Xitter.
Hoping against a ban is a shitty way to promote policy. Also as much as we demonize big pharma they are a lifeline of hope if battling a serious or terminal disease. My late husband survived 7 years instead of 6 months thanks to clinical trials for GBM
Well, I would like to get pesticides and lots of chemicals out of our food, but to think Trump will allow RFK, Jr. to go after big GOP donors in the big corporate food and pharma industries is a fantasy.
Do they not understand how herd immunity in the cases of polio and measles work? Do they want to see acres of children’s graves in cemeteries again? I’m feeling so very hopeless and helpless today.
It's social Darwinism mixed with eugenics. Classic fascism. Heard immunity protects those who can't protect themselves. So many innocent people will die due to people who only think about me, me, me.
Can I weigh in on this? As a naturopathic practitioner I cannot give vaccine advice. Because, only someone with an MD behind their name can legally do so. It’s a misdemeanor and a person can be fined 1500 per offense. I’d lose my accreditation. Pt 1
Secondly, what he is referring to is the law we are taught as practitioners.
If there is anything that alleviates an illness they cannot by law force a mandate.
That’s what all the talk about dewormer was about. I was literally studying it at the time.
His reputation makes us look bad.
This is like when I saw Hollow Man in the cinema, and the screen went dark in the last few minutes - we could hear some big fight scene happening, bombs going off etc but no one could tell what was going on.

I'm excited by the news that the President-Elect will appoint @RobertKennedyJr to @HHSGov. He helped us defeat vaccine mandates in Colorado in 2019 and will help make America healthy again by shaking up HHS and FDA.
I hope he leans into personal choice on vaccines rather than bans (which I think are terrible, just like mandates) but what I'm most optimistic about is taking on big pharma and the corporate ag oligopoly to improve our health. Before you mock him or disagree, I want
I lived in Colorado for eight years. Political people I knew just shrugged off Jared Polis' loopiness. Polis is Blue and he has maintained strong ties to Washington insiders since serving as US Rep. This will set off his Democratic allies, for sure.
"Make America Healthy" Apparently polio making a comeback means people are getting healthier. Is RFK going to start leading jazzercise classes in West Virginia?
As a Coloradan, I generally like what Polis has done. Yesterday‘s news was great about him and Pritzker working together to fight Trump‘s policies. But this is completely out of the blue, especially since he supported vaccine mandate and came out against Kennedy’s anti-vaxxing and ant-science views.
He’s a libertarian who has been rich enough to build a reputation as a Democrat in all the ways that benefit his political career. He’s in his last term as CO gov, so I think the mask is off for him at this point.
Trump is having a laugh, he is winding us all up to make us as crazy as him. Non stop TV all about him, just how he likes it. Over 4 more years of this.
This is insane. Vaccines halt epidemics when 95% or more of the population is vaccinated- which is ALL who CAN be vaxxed. It is called "herd immunity"
Refusal creates disease pathways to vulnerable people who can't be vaxxed.

Also, WTF. I think I've seen his name floated for DNC Chair.
Helped make them healthy?

Do what you damn well please. But stay the fuck away from the rest of us.

He is supposed to be one of the ‘bulwark’ Dem governors, standing up against the Trump agenda.
Over/under two years?
Information then ever before right at our fingertips. I'm 59 years old. I just don't get it. I'm to the point, I'm just gonna start calling them out.
Everyone with any kind of common sense knows that Republicans are the party of Big Pharma.
I'm sure it'll get better soon.

Way to late on that one bud

I don’t agree with this Polis guy, just posting his tweet in text. Don’t at me. 😢
The man thinks raw milk is safe.
Your DEMOCRATIC governor. What is he thinking??
Refusal creates disease pathways to vulnerable people who can't be vaxxed.
WTF is happening??
