With respect to Louisiana, I'm happy to report that many of their policies are not palatable to the rest of the country. But this time around, we'll need to push back hard against policies designed to force us back to the Stone Age. We need to fight ignorance and lies wherever and however we can.

When people starting losing loved ones, will they realize who is to blame?

Yes, you could do a whole newsletter chronicling the absurdity and unfortunate meme brain worms convulsing the body politic - but it would be quite depressing to write! We should keep calling out the worst of it when we can… and when you said LA, I though perhaps Los Angeles had fallen 😰

That was my first thought too (LA referring to Los Angeles). But, I lived in SoCal most of my life and am in Central Coast now, so LA=Los Angeles would be foremost in my mind.

This is why subsidies to Red states should end.

and once one of them does something like this, more tend to try to do the same.

No prob. If you just keep saying that “the government” doesn’t want them to get vaccinated, they’ll line up in droves.

We can hope...!! Logic doesn't apply...so perhaps reverse logic will?!

Insanity.

This adds to a growing and concerning list over the past year:
-6 Idaho counties removed availability of Covid-19 vaccines
-Texas doesn’t allow public health departments to educate about Covid-19 vaccines
-Missouri has removed the ability for public health departments to report lab data to WHO

This is horrific. They are actively risking killing their citizens for politics.

Well, it's a hard lesson, but killing more voters than his margin of victory was a successful campaign strategy for Ron DeSantis in Florida. Got him re-elected because the pain and suffering creates more right wing reactionary voters, than it killed.

Sadly, you are 100% correct.

arbiteriapetus.bsky.social•68 days ago

What could possibly go wrong.

Looks like US Public Health will be getting the data for an UNETHICAL Human subject trial on the Effectiveness of Vaccines. Although Im sure the next step will be to forbid collection of death data... 🤬
Internet Communication from other sources such as you will save lives!!

I thought you were talking about Los Angeles…

pmjmd.bsky.social•68 days ago

I so wish this was unbelievable.
