Florida is planning to end all vaccination requirements in the state, including requirements for school children to get routine childhood vaccinations that protect them and their communities from severe and life-threatening diseases, such as Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib), pertussis (whooping cough), diphtheria, measles, tetanus, RSV, and polio.

No, they hate you. Vaccines didn't become a populist issue by random happenstance. They've been pushing it for decades. They put RFK in power for a reason. They think they're better than you, they think they can afford treatment for whatever horrible diseases they encourage to evolve in the general population, they want a weak and sick underclass they can exploit without fear.

You know what. You've changed my mind. There are lots of reasons. Hate can also be one of them.
