When it comes to Republicans in Florida, it appears stupidity is as contagious as the measles. O

Man oh man I just moved to Florida from California for family. Now … you’re right they’re as stupid as it gets. As I was reading this I was thinking one some idiot is going to get this and interpret differently then written. Two I miss Dr FAUCI! Common sense across the board! We need it back desperately!

I guess Lapdo received his medical degree from Trump University. And why is DeSantis wasting taxpayer money on non-issues? What happened to common sense and common courtesy?

One of the great scientists and humanitarians of this country, Anthony Fauci, MD, said “When you mix politics with science, you get politics.” The surgeon general’s statements suggest that he is living in both worlds, which is bad science.

The R₀ (pronounced R-naught) of measles is as high as 18. That means that every case infects 18 other people. In contrast, the R₀ of seasonal influenza is 2 and the R₀ of the original, deadly strain of COVID was 3. There have been 141 cases of measles in Florida in the first half of 2026. No children have died yet.

Perfectly stated .... I also want science, not political opinion, to comment on causes of gender preference. Good science is needed to understand hormones. I am not gay, I just hate hypocrisy and lies.

What is with the Republican Party. Now we have two Wako's in important medical positions. They knock vaccines now we have Measles infections growing. These people are put in this position not because they are experienced but because they are puppets and will do as told not what is good for the American people. Desantis appointed Lapdo. Just remember that because Desantis wants to be president one day. If elected he will continue Trumps position on vaccines, science and research. Vote in midterms not because you like Democrats but because you want to take this cancer out of our government before we are a dictatorship or authoritarian government dictating all of our health needs.

What a disgrace Florida has become, with 27 years of republican rule. The very worst under this current regime of gov desantis & his appointees. How much taxpayer money has desantis stolen from Floridians? 100s of millions on his border & immigration "initiatives", Alligator Alcatraz concentration camp, his state police, his personal security detail, his wife's pet projects. When will Florida learn, the republican party has been detrimental to this state.

Unbelievable! All the research I have read does not indicate that fetal cells are involved in any way shape or form. Where did this man get his medical degree? Frightening to think that he is responsible for the health of the residents of Florida! Speaks so poorly of our governor!

Ladapo, who doesn't deserve any honorary title, just sounds more desperate and out-of-touch as his party crumbles.

He’s as big of an idiot as ROTUS. Make Leaders Smart Again.

Desantis is doing his best to leave our residents much worse off than he found us even in his final gasps

If getting measles results in these idiots not voting, I'm good with that.
