It’ll take a few years, because of the existing base of vaccinated people, but this will kill a lot of kids. The norm used to be that half of kids died before adulthood
Less than 24 hours before I am on my way out of the state for good.
Florida Says It Plans to End All Vaccine Mandates | The state would be the first to scrap requirements that children be vaccinated to attend school, among other rules.

I moved to Oregon 15 years ago. Best thing I ever did. I love St. Pete, but I fucking hate Florida.

…this will kill a lot of kids.
It will kill adults, too. Those with a weakened immune system, the elderly, etc. The kids may be healthier and better able to survive something, but they can still bring it home and spread it to others who are more susceptible.

Good thing Florida isn’t famous for having lots of old people

Maybe they’ve come to the conclusion that they have too many old people?

Go right the fuck ahead lol Florida exists to demonstrate man’s hubris and ignorance apparently. No plans to visit that trash heap and I always question what brings vacation goers there vs any other place… ultimately I think “conservatives” just like to shit where they eat and take pride in trashy situations

As someone who grew up there I do assert that there is beauty and fun to be had there. There are still some beaches that have not been swallowed by society’s expansion. And there are cities that still have some charm. Saint Petersburg has a growing art scene and tons of live music and the beaches that the locals use are uncrowded and clean. Orlando and Jacksonville both have great local music. There is nature to enjoy as well. Rainbow River and Weeki Wachee are still beautiful.
Florida’s politics is trash though.

So disease factories, also known as schools, will now be thermonuclear hot beds of disease. Cool.

Well at least it’ll make the next generation of kids life a little easier to get into their school of choice.
