Ah, Florida - words fail me II

92 has hit it with "herd immunity." For vaccines to be effective for highly infectious diseases, the vaccination rate needs to be very high, around 95% for measles. Measles is so contagious, that the air in a room is considered unsafe for two hours, after someone with measles has only breathed in it. Fomite (surface) contamination lasts even longer. That is the reason for mandatory childhood vaccination. There are have always been safeguards allowing leniency for kids like CA's, and always will be, with doctor's excuse. Otherwise, it simply can't be a matter of personal choice, when that choice may endanger thousands of others. My freedom ends exactly where it starts to impinge on endangering yours...

When I started school in Alabama, my doctor gave me a waiver for the tetanus vaccine due to a bad reaction I had as a toddler.

Now I'm confused. I thought merkins were fake.

This is the core issue with pure capitalism. It has no safety net. If you hit rock bottom, you might be truly on your own with no reasonable way to recover (especially for children).

Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings

An American writer who lived in rural Florida and wrote novels with rural themes and settings. Her best known work, The Yearling—about a boy who adopts an orphaned fawn—won a Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1939 and was later made into a movie of the same name.

Born: August 8, 1896, Washington, D.C.
Died: December 14, 1953 (age 57 years), St. Augustine, FL

Many don't know she also had a beachfront home south of St. Augustine. She and Hemingway met for the first time at a bar south of St. Augustine.

The story has been told often that Rawlings recognized Hemingway and had the bartender give him a note. "Are you Hemingway?" He wrote back, “Only if you’re Rawlings.”

Gov. DeSantis: Florida has retired 50% of its total debt from the last 180 years since he took office. By buying back bonds at a discount, the state cut interest costs — now boasting the lowest per-capita debt in the U.S. “It's been beneficial for taxpayers.”
