How many lies does the far right accept? /snipped COVID/vaccine misinformation/ It can be moved wherever and whenever a mod wants and I won't object. However, this isn't smack talk at all. This man, at the urging of a complacent Ron DeSantis, literally changed the results to fit his narrative. He is a medical professional. He should, and very well may, be sanctioned by the licensing board. Why do you make this political. It is no more political than cancer or heart disease. Even so, you trust your doctor on your treatment when it comes to cancer and heart disease, yet ignore him or her when it comes to Covid. That sums it up pretty well. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You put it on the political forum and mentioned DeSantis as the driving factor for his misdeed. A doctor gives you his or her advice as to what to do in situations on medical issues such as cancer or heart disease, it is up to the patient whether to take his advice or not. Same with vaccines. Should it have been mandatory for a healthy teen to get a vaccine if that teen has no underlying health conditions? Is it mandatory to go through cancer treatment? I have known people to refuse cancer treatment because they’ve been through it before and have decided they would rather die than go through it again.

Was just coming to post this. There are also various industries and companies that widely mandate vaccinations. Man that dipshit who tied vaccines to autism in the 90s kicked off this vaccine skepticism craziness and I'd love to kick him in the balls for about an hour. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
