Yes. When they said they were going to repeal the 20th century, yes, they meant the whole century. Vaccinations, public health, the Pure Food & Drug Act of 1906, all of it.

Florida already had a skyrocketing rate of non-medical exemptions for childhood vaccination, leading to MMR coverage in kindergartners well below recommended herd immunity levels. And now they won't even need exemptions.

On the surface, this seems really bad. We know that the Epstein thing is enormously worrying to Trump. There is no excuse for not hammering on it. I could have excused the Dems' silence during the latest Congressional recess if only they had come out of the gate, today, with both barrels blazing.
