When the right wing got done scrapping the bottom of the barrel...they went ahead and dug under it...
And discovered Florida.

Florida's controversial surgeon general recommends against Covid-19 vaccination for kids Surgeon General Joseph A. Ladapo has been an outspoken critic of pandemic-era safety measures such as quarantines, wearing face masks and vaccines.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida’s controversial surgeon general announced Monday that the state is breaking with guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and will be the first state in the nation to recommend against giving the Covid-19 vaccines to kids ages 5 and older.
Florida Surgeon General Joseph A. Ladapo, speaking at a roundtable Monday with Gov. Ron DeSantis and medical professionals who oppose much of the CDC’s recommendations, did not elaborate. Two others who participated in the discussion were Jay Bhattacharya, a Stanford University professor of medicine, and biostatistician Martin Kuldorff. Both were the chief signatories of the Great Barrington Declaration, which calls for a hands-off approach toward managing the pandemic and instead advocates for natural “herd immunity.”
Ladapo in particular has been an outspoken critic of pandemic-era safety measures such as quarantines, wearing face masks and vaccines. DeSantis picked Ladapo to become surgeon general in September, which was three months after the surgeon general petitioned the CDC to withhold giving final authorization to the vaccines without years of clinical studies and trials in June.
Republicans guiding principle seems to be "stupid, if it pisses off people, even better". Some of them are just plain anti common sense because, well, intelligence is a liberal plot.

Counterpoint: saving 1,400 needless child deaths and many thousands of hospitalizations.

So when unvaccinated asymptomatic grandkids visit their immune compromised grandparents they need to prepare for the fallout.

Apparently, DeSantis' Lt. Gov., Jeanette Nuñez, doesn't understand how any of this works.
Edit: There will be NO dissent in the Free State of Florida.

Someone tell DeSantis he needs to grow a funny mustache.

Toothbrush, or the full Stalin? Or maybe, since as villains go, he's really somewhat cartoonish, a Snidely Whiplash?

DeSantis has never struck me as particularly manly. Not even a full Stalin will help.

It is so easy for Ron to support Canadian truckers, yet so hard for him to support Ukraine.

Because, as "Florida Politics" may be aware, Governor DeSantis is the governor of a state. Senator Scott and Representative Crist are members of Congress. Zelensky addressed Congress yesterday.
Because the federal government, not states, drives foreign policy.

To be perfectly honest, since I’m anonymous on the internet, I struggle with this one a bit. His tone and misgendering is wrong. The substance is worthy of a discussion, however.

It would mean more coming from someone other than DeSantis, Mr. "I will destroy opportunities for women by forcing them to have babies they don't want", but "I will complain about the NCAA destroying opportunties for women."
