Florida children will no longer have to be vaccinated to attend school. Putin’s takedown of the United States is succeeding on a level even he never imagined happening in his lifetime.

Florida is going to cancel vaccinations for school age children, and I think we should begin quarantining them now. Don't be spreading diseases resurfacing from the Ice Ages to Americans that know how to read and appreciate science. If you want to kill your children and families, keep it contained.

An #Epstein survivor when asked if she had a message for Epstein's long time collaborator and friend Donald Trump. "I mustn't, I don't want to send a direct message to him. I'm already scared enough. Just pass the vote, listen to us, this is not a hoax, this not going to go away." #OpDeathEaters
