What other deficits does he have?

Florida surgeon General walks around without masks and spots antivaxxer rhetoric! 

Of course his was a political appointment by a moron of a governor but just extrapolating from this one thing, what other deficits does he have? 

It's how I think! I look at behaviors and extrapolate to determine what kind of a moron I'm dealing with. 

Behavior is a direct result of thoughts! It tells you everything you need to know about a person. 

Anyone want to bet that this guy has a good few skeletons in his closet? You don't throw in your with El Chapo, unless you have no where else to go. 

I did say, about 90%. 

90% is way to high of a guess in my opinion, especially when you consider all the minorities that vote Democrat that refuse the vaccine.

I can't read the article you've posted.  But am familiar with the story and the Florida Surgeon General who is taking politics rather than public health into consideration.   This is especially vile considering the thousands of deaths and the tens of thousands of unvaccinated people to the tune of 15,000 day that caught covid  during the delta variant surge this Summer.

I walk around without a mask, but when asked I have no problem with it.  The Florida Surgeon General wouldn't wear a mask when in the presence of a cancer patient in her office.  

It's one thing to be against vaccine mandates because of a person's freedom of choice as to what goes into their body, but it's another to use anti-vax rhetoric and politics rather than good sound science which is befitting of a medical professional.

Interesting.  In my own little world, the only anti-vaxxer I know is a Democrat.

Both parties have their nuts but when you compare blue states to red states, there are definitely differences in vaccine hesitancy and death rates.  There are multiples of citations on this.  If you listened to right wing radio early on in the pandemic, you were led to believe that this wasn't a big deal.  If you listened to the other side, you were encouraged to pay attention.  It's not that hard to explain.

I heard Dr. Ladapo speak on the radio before I knew who he was.  He struck me as a tool and anti-science.  Then, within a few minutes, I figured out who he was and it explained everything - De Santis's lap dog.  He was talking about masks not being necessary for kids but I kept thinking how anyone could really know the answer to this without testing every single kid for Covid since most of them are asymtomatic carriers.  And as far as I know, no school system is testing every.single.kid.  so does God speak directly to this guy and tells him what the up and up is?  DeSantis would never allow the medical society to sanction him as they are doing in other states.

I would correct my above statement about 15,000 cases a day.  At the highest Florida was averaging over 27,000 cases a day.  The toll it took especially on the unvaccinated was significant.  I can understand being against the mandate but the Florida Surgeon General shouldn't be such a lap dog and encourage voluntary vaccines and promote how safe and effective they are and use the stats from this Summer as evidence.   He can leave the anti-vax mandate politics out of it.

I agree subee. There are likely vaccine hesitant people of all political persuasions, but it would be strange if there weren’t more among those who heard this every time they turned on their TV.

I can see this country in a world of trouble! 

If Biden doesn't get the filibuster and stack the Supreme Court, companies like facebook and other hedge fund managed entities, will use the weak antitrust laws to destroy this country. 

News is everything, as trump proved. 

Without Twitter and facebook somewhat limiting his bandwidth, he was destroyed. With OAN and Fox and other right wing news sources, the populace will only hear one side of the story, theirs! 

Sooner or later, foreigners will realize just how weak our antitrust laws are and with the greed and lack of patriotism of Americans, they will do a Fox Noise and allow another foreigner like Murdoch to either buy up another news source or go third party through a hedge fund investor group and influence our country even more with disinformation! 

Americans are inherently greedy and reckless and republicans doubly so. Let them in and with their abysmal lack of knowledge, they will destroy this country!

So the Charlottesville white supremacist case will be starting soon! 

I wonder if trump knows that this is the case that might actually put him in prison? 

All of the legal tactics and procedures used, will be the template for what will be used against him for the Insurrection. Especially as the lawyers who filed are no joke. They know exactly what they are doing. 

What I wonder is how is this going to play out against facebook and Fox Noise etc. Social media played a role in the organization and how will they be indicted?

This is going to be a landmark case against right wingers and the govt officials who aided in the Insurrection, had better watch out! 

As usual, you will find that AN made the connection before any of the so called national media and they will be playing catch up, again!

The lead story on Fox News at the moment is the #ArrestFauci movement.   Never heard of it, but I guess we will now.

I hate that this issue is only being used by haters against Fauci when animals and Beagles in particular have been tortured for decades in research, but glad it's getting some attention.  But that's my issue.

I've said it before, I don't know why Fauci just doesn't flip the bird and retire.

Trump announces new social media site called "TRUTH"  because terrorists are allowed on social media but not "you're favorite president".

And the stocks goes wild.

Quote

 Shares of the blank-check acquisition company that plans to publicly list former U.S. President Donald Trump's new social media venture soared again on Friday, more than doubling in value with trading halted multiple times due to volatility.
