Vax Wars

I'm trying to figure out how something that used to be a routine heath care measure b,ecame a political football. The anti-vaxxers are making a lot of noise, and to what purpose? The governor of Florida is threatenting fo fine cruise lines that ask passenges for proof of vaccination, and now the anti-vaxxers have started their ownn dating site. And that's just a couple of stories from last evening. I guessit goes back to Trup's stellar reaction when the pandemic first hit -- "It's a hoax!" -- and the fact that his followers will not only believe what they's told, but take it as holy writ. Thans. Trump!
