      The little dictator, DeSantis, hand picked him. Don’t look for that to happen anytime soon.

      Alas, malpractice is a matter for States to decide. Each state has a Board of Medical Examiners, e.g. Florida Board of Medicine(https://flboardofmedicine.gov/). I don’t suppose it would go far, but it would be interesting to test, by reporting Florida Surgeon General Joe Ladapo to the board. The board’s job is to protect citizens from malpractice, so it’s worth a try.

        The people most likely to believe it are geriatric republicans who wouldn’t survive Covid. They’re Killing their base.

    Florida man here (sigh). Was at the Dr for a routine physical a month ago. My doc is a stand-up guy and very well versed in dealing with the crazies down here. When it came time to discuss vaccinations, he said, “so, have you gotten the flu vaccine yet?”. I noted that I had an appointment at CVS later that day. Then he said, “and the Florida Surgeon General recommends that people under the age of 65 do not get the Covid vaccine…” (I am well under 65) and let it hang in the air. We stared at each other for a few seconds. Then I said, “yup, getting that one at CVS later too.” He sighed, said “ah, perfect” and moved things along. As it turns out, the hospital the doc is affiliated with had sent out several memos about exactly what should/should not be said to both try and encourage people to get vaccinated but NOT incur the wrath of the state. It’s a different world down here…

    You really can’t believe anything that is said by a member of the Florida state government. You can almost assume that the truth is the exact opposite of what they say, but probably not even then.

      Hey remember the time Desantis had the Florida state police raid that public health official’s house at 2am because she dared to talk publicly about the covid positivity rates?

    If a person wanted the best results for themselves and their family, they should look to the experts of the states with the best results. FL’s results are not the best, thus the recommendations of FL’s experts can be safely ignored.

      I’d hope that those who really do want that (and don’t just like to grandstand about how much they love their family) would have already noticed that the GOP should be ignored where possible because if they are giving any kind of advice, there’s an angle to it.

          I did some work in Fort Lauderdale for a while. There are apartment complexes that stretch for miles with broke, geriatric occupants. I think you underestimate the poverty in this country, especially among the aged and/or disabled.

          There was a report stating over 60% of the population couldn’t handle an emergency $400 bill. But it is the communities fault isn’t it. Sure.

      …and those citizens continue to vote for people that seem to hate them.
