This surgeon general is totally unqualified for his position. He was picked for his political stance and willingness to lie and edit official studies to shore up DeathSatnis’s political positions. When DeathSantis tried to force the state University to make give him a position and a high salary, the school refused saying he was totally unqualified. For those that don’t know, measles is extremely dangerous, leading to lifelong illnesses and medical issues such as losing your ability to hear, along with death. Measles also kills your immune system so you lose all prior immunities and can make it so your system struggles to gain the immunity to other diseases. Below I listed some of the things that can happen. Measles are not a joke, you do not want your child exposed to the real thing, get them vaccinated. Hugs. Scottie
Long-term effects of measles
For every 10,000 children infected with measles, 2,000 will be hospitalized; 1,000 will develop ear infections with the potential for permanent hearing loss; 500 will develop pneumonia; and 10 to 30 will die, said Hotez, who is also dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine.
Measles often leaves patients vulnerable to secondary bacterial infections, such as pneumonia, one of the most common causes of death in measles patients, said Patricia Stinchfield, president of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases.
Measles also causes “immune amnesia,” in which the immune system loses its ability to fight infections that a patient was previously immune to, Cherry said. The virus wipes out 11% to 73% of a person’s antibodies — both those acquired through infection and vaccination — which can leave patients at increased risk from viruses such as the flu and bacteria that cause pneumonia and skin infections. A devastating long-term complication of measles called subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, which is more common in countries where the virus remains endemic. The fatal condition can cause memory loss, irritability, disturbances in movement, seizures and blindness, and can develop six to eight years after a child has apparently recovered from measles. Although anti-seizure drugs can sometimes ease symptoms, they don’t cure the disease. Encephalitis. About 1 child out of every 1,000 who get measles will develop encephalitis (swelling of the brain) that can lead to convulsions and can leave the child deaf or with intellectual disability. Death. Nearly 1 to 3 of every 1,000 children who become infected with measles will die from respiratory and neurologic complications.
Miami’s NBC affiliate reports:
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz held a press conference on school safety measures Tuesday and called for the replacement of Florida’s surgeon general — as the measles outbreak in South Florida continues to expand.
She called for the termination of Dr. Joseph Ladapo and for Governor DeSantis to replace him with a public health expert, following the surgeon general’s controversial handling of the outbreak.
Ladapo told parents of unvaccinated children that it is their choice whether their students attend class — a contravention of federal guidelines calling for their mandatory exclusion. “Surgeon General Ladapo is a misinformation super-spreader,” Rep. Wasserman Schultz said during the press conference.
Tampa’s Fox affiliate reports:
The measles outbreak has made its way to Central Florida. Over the weekend, the Florida Department of Health confirmed a tenth case out of Polk County.
The case is travel-related, and the patient is between 20 and 24 years old, making them the first Florida adult to be infected with the virus this year.
It comes after nine children and teens were infected with measles in Broward County. Measles is extremely contagious. Unvaccinated people have about a 90% chance of being infected if exposed.
Scottie's Playtime 
Sometimes I swear The Republican Party Logo should carry a health warning similar to the one there is on a packet of cigarettes.

Hello Roger. I agree. But you know some people use this guy and his doctored studies that he has changed and edited to show what he wants, knowing it was a lie he was spreading. Covid deniers, anti-vaxxers, and anti-trans right wing people love this guy. His whole medical stance started as a way to scam people, and he has parleyed that into a state position of authority to keep scamming people. Hugs. Scottie

There are folk, regrettably far too many, who believe nonsense because they are looking for an excuse to believe and fit their prejudices.

Roger, are you correct! I am dealing with that right now with Ragnarsbhut. He is convinced the lies about Dr. Fauci he was told by right wing media hosts are 100 percent the facts, and despite all the evidence I show him that he is wrong and that his right wing media hosts are lying to him, he just keeps repeating a different set of their lies. It is wack a mole with him right now. I am trying hard to show him his sources of information are faulty and he won’t accept it. I don’t know how to get through to him. I am just stumped how to proceed. Hugs. Scottie

Send him my way?
It’s not I am blowing my own trumpet, it’s just that he might need to meet someone who can be just as stubborn and ornery, ready throw a whole lot of biology / history / and commentary on denial his way.
My daughter a nursing professional was in the front line during Covid – I have ‘views’ on the subject.

Thanks Roger. But I told him I am tired of him not listening, just throwing anything at the wall to see if it sticks without even googling it to see if it is true. I told him that after a week of back and forth if he can’t accept the truth we are done. Hugs.

You meet them in all aspects. Right, Left, Theists, Atheists, Social Groupings.
I promised Sheila I wouldn’t get into any more tussles with them, but sometimes it’s difficult not to.
Like Sheila says ‘You’re like a dog with a bone,’
Different opinions and views are easy for me to accept, but displays of sheer ignorance, prejudices, being mean for its own sake and causing harm through naïve foolishness.
Triggers Scottie, triggers.
Take care you guys
Roger & Sheila.
