Let them die. Let’s put together a fund that helps pro-vaccine people move out of the Florida wasteland.

[–] Hazor@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

??? The people who are going to suffer and die from this are the children who don't get vaccinated and the immunocompromised who can't. The dingbats who wanted this will be fine because they themselves were vaccinated as children.

I wonder what impact this has had / will have on the for-profit health care industry in the US.

But but but my main goal in life is to make floridian lawmakers and lobbyists more powerful than anyone else so who cares about disease and stuff.

The ONLY way to Prevent this is to PRAY MORE! Also we DONT want to Prevent it because Whooping Cough SAVES the Children!

Glad to see Darwinian evolution playing out. The children of the stupid are dieing off. Hopefully this means the next generation won't buy into Brawndo being what plants crave

Fake news! There have always been whooping cough! My cousin took it! And he is fine! Better than the risk of microchip 5G in the vaccines!

— people that asked for this (likely)

I keep quoting that one famous Iowan: Let them die.

The children who are going to suffer and die from this didn't ask for it, it was their parents who are themselves vaccinated.
