Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and the state’s top health department official are directly contradicting federal health recommendations and warning residents against getting a new COVID-19 booster, saying there’s not enough evidence it provides benefits that outweigh risks.
DeSantis, who is running for president, and Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo discussed the vaccine with doctors Wednesday on a Zoom call livestreamed on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. It repeated much of what they said a week ago during a live event in Jacksonville, in which they warned against the vaccine that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended this week.
Ladapo’s previous warnings against COVID-19 vaccines prompted a public letter from federal health agencies saying his claims were harmful to the public.
Yo trust me it’s entirely possible to go to law school and learn fucking nothing about justice or rights. Some people go in with preconceived ideas.
And I bet it happens all the time at fancy schools like Yale.
I went in basically a centrist, but with compassion for regular working people. And then you spend three years reading cases day and day out where corporations and government forces have done nothing but fuck people over.
I came out a flaming progressive with complete clarity that the billionaire class uses the law to maintain their power and destroy progress.
Maybe you go in, and you read all that shit that people do, and you think, hey this is great, I could do this too!
Then they go off and work at some corporate white shoe law firm that spends all day defending insurance companies and wage thieves. I got halfway through before I realized I could never work at one of those law firms. Many of my friends did, and they’re all rich now, but I don’t know how they sleep at night.
You ain’t wrong but you missed my point
