We eliminated malaria in the USA at great cost and effort in the 50's. Now this is all being undone by a GOP that would rather scapegoat drag queens and engage in a culture war than govern and keep Americans safe from disease. The pandemic, embracing of anti-vaxxers, scapegoating the CDC with conspiracy theories, an irrational hatred of Fauci, promotion of quack cures like ivermectin, and all the distrust in public health they have sown has made Republicans de facto pro-disease.
The worst part about this is that you could just tell them they have COVID and they’ll take their hydroxychloroquine for it
Thoughts and prayers for FL.
My thoughts and prayers are clearly not working- desantis hasn’t been hit with a random bolt of lightning yet.
