      Having been to the South during covid their “quarantine” was pretty much business as usual. They tucked their masks in their pockets. I’m sure it’s similar for those around the infectious ones.

    Of the 111 outbreak cases, 105 were unvaccinated, three were partially vaccinated, two had an unknown status, and one case was fully vaccinated.

      If only unvaccinated kids die from this, they will remove access to the vaccines. Their wet dream of natural herd immunity only works without vaccines.

    People will die from a preventable disease because of abject stupidity

    If their ignorance only harmed themselves, then I’d celebrate it, but unfortunately there are vulnerable, innocent people who will also suffer

    Worst drivers in the entire country and some of the worst roads plus Lindsay Graham. Now measles at church, too? God hates South Carolinians.
