Cuckoo Award

I have been amiss in awarding the Cuckoo Award but to tell the truth it was had to pick out something that was above the craziness coming out of Washington... but one stands out from all the rest. And it is from the Florida Surgeon General and what else... vaccines!

Florida’s Surgeon General says his team did not study what impact ending vaccine mandates in the state would have on the spread of diseases.

Joseph Ladapo, an appointee of Governor Ron DeSantis, announced this week that Florida would look to end all vaccine mandates for schoolchildren and others.

Ladapo has said that required vaccinations are equivalent to government-imposed “slavery”, and that ending them is a question of parental rights.

So what if you child dies... lit' mis MAGA child will be able block "government overreach"

He admitted to news anchor Jake Tapper on CNN’s Sunday show, “State of the Union”, that studying the impact of such a move was not necessary.

“Absolutely not,” Ladapo told Tapper. “It’s an issue of right and wrong.”

Cuckoo, cuckoo...

But the thing is, it is against the law! Florida law mandates that...

Under Florida state law, children planning to attend public school are required to receive immunizations for polio, diphtheria (a bacterial infection), rubeola (measles), rubella (a viral infection also called German measles), pertussis (whooping cough), mumps, tetanus and other "communicable diseases" as determined by the department of health.

So with great fanfare I here by award the coveted Cuckoo award to Florida’s Surgeon General Ladapo for playing politics with your lives.
