Now that we have Covid vaccines shots for children as young
as 6 months, parents should be jumping for joy. But not in Florida. Their Department
of Health led by state Surgeon General Joe Ladapo, an outspoken skeptic of the
Covid-19 vaccine, has put the vaccine on hold. According to Politico:
“The Florida Department of Health, through a
statement, said Wednesday that it did not place an order with the federal
government for vaccine doses for kids five and under in part because it doesn’t
advise all children get vaccinated. The deadline for placing a pre-order was
Tuesday and 49 other states met the cutoff date.”
And what does he base this belief on? The doctors and
experts all agree that children should take the shots. But Ladapo feels he
knows better than anyone what children’s health needs. After all he is a
conservative. And conservatives know everything. They all
have common sense opinions. People keep electing them. How could they be wrong?
All the doctors and experts have is careful study and
knowledge they got by years of study in college. There are voters who look down
on those kinds of people.
I once heard a commentator say that he could use Republican
tactics and in a week, he could convince people that the opinion of a janitor
makes more sense than a scientist. He was talking about global warming and how
easy it was for Republicans to shoot down the idea that global warming is real.
