US Surgeon General Expresses Concern About Worsening Pandemic

The U.S. Surgeon General said he’s very concerned about what lies ahead, with cases of COVID-19 increasing in every state and millions still unvaccinated, as a highly contagious virus variant is spreading rapidly. Meanwhile, you have Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis in Florida - a state with the highest COVID infection rate in the country - bragging about eliminating all precautions employed by other states, such as prohibiting local governments from enacting measures like mask requirements and social distancing, while selling campaign merchandise on his website saying “Don't Fauci My Florida.”

Great merch ideas Gov. DeSantis! Hey, I’ve got a couple more you might like. How about “They'll vaccinate me - over my dead body." Looks like about a third of the country might like that one. Or, what about this “You can stick that needle in my cold, dead arm!” I’m telling ya, the merch possibilities seem endless.

Of course, Republicans know all this anti-vax hysteria will mean lots of folks are gonna die - but at least they’re gonna die “owning the Libs” - and that’s gotta count for something! I mean, what’s the point of running a death cult, if you don’t have lots of deaths? Besides, in Gov. DeSantis’ defense, the first 50 years or so of a COVID pandemic, are always gonna be the worst.

You see, DeSantis has devised the perfect MAGA COVID plan - “don't wear masks, don't get vaccinated, and do not social distance.” Well, that plan seems to be working - and they’ve got nearly 40,000 dead Floridians to prove it. Florida’s now #1 in the nation, with 20% of all new COVID infections. But, ya know governor, I can’t help thinking there are times when you probably shouldn’t be shooting for #1 - just say’n.
