Let’s be clear. Our scorn is not directed against the unvaccinated. It’s against the purveyors of antivaccine antiscience aggression and disinformation who exploit innocent and trusting victims for personal gain or political expediency https://t.co/1UodSfDiba

Actually my scorn is absolutely directed at those who choose to remain unvaccinated against Covid for no other reason than “I don’t wanna!”. It’s also directed at the people mentioned in this tweet. And no Tucker, (can we just start calling him Fucker yet?), scorn of the defiantly unvaccinated and their enablers is not just like lynchings.

Ron DeSantis has ‘made a monumental mess of masking in public schools’ | Column by Mac Stipanovich

Ron DeSantis is a governor uninterested in actually governing, a lawyer with little respect for the law, an anti-elitist with an Ivy League education and a hypocrite unbothered by inconsistency. Populist politics, not public policy, is his long suit. So it is not surprising that he has made a monumental mess of masking in public schools.
