We live in a sad time when a stunningly ignorant imbecile who believes he can can see children with "mitochondrial challenges" is in charge of public health, and this news post about vaccines can just as accurately be posted in a political sub.

Because of Trump and his worshiping morons 180,000 American's needlessly died during the worst of COVID, but that's not enough. Trump and his ilk want more people to die from diseases that were previously nearly gone.

Polio, Whooping Cough, Measles, and even Small Pox are now welcome in Trump's America.

Sorry, but BC is not cool. If it wants to join the cool states club, then it needs to implement proper vaccine mandates. Currently, kids do not need to be vaccinated to attend BC public schools.

We don't need mandates, the large majority of our population is vaccinated and vaccines are offered free through school, but you can opt out, yes. Most aren't crazy nutbars, but we let the crazies have their crazy because we have achieved herd immunity with most thing.

Also, hilarious! You are mostly cool, but you don't do this one thing I'm a stickler about, so no deal. Like you guys don't have problems (eye roll)

I did say most things. We have a conservative north, yes. Most rural parts of any country does. The north is like 10% of the population of BC of I am being generous.

Do you think rural eastern Washington is anything like the coast? Your gonna have a bad time. Oregon has some nefarious areas as well. I seem to remember a crazy guy that took over a government office because he didn't think he should have to pay to have his cattle graze government lands. Let's not even talk about the center right democratic governor of California.

Yeah Newsome is funny talking back to Trump at his level, but dude has serious policy issues. No one is perfect, point being said. Stop nitpicking the ways we are different and look at the ways we are the same.
