This is what I’m talking about, FLSurgeonGen is got it going on, I don’t know what TGHCares is thinking. They act like we have socialized medicine. Doesn’t make sense. CrimesAgainstHumanity at TGH doesn’t care.
Hitler had doctors also.
The aptly named LaDopey!

Is that before or after the get their medical degree? And where did this guy get his?
This is sick! GovRonDeSantis you know that according to the CDC 50% of transmissions r from asymptotic cases‼️ Many innocent kids will get this virus AND bring it home to their families‼️Don’t you care about FL kids&their families⁉️
Thank god I don’t live on FLA
LMAO! Seriously let Florida burn at this point
DeathSantis won't be happy until everybody in Florida is either dead or hospitalized. SMH
Insane and just completely wrong.
Think Florida and Texas should succeed from the US and become their own country....of Unregard for Others
Florida has an Interesting take on “no child left behind” lourdesgnavarro
I wish we could get rondesantis out of office immediately. Any suggestions.
Surreal
What does the science say ?
Our new SG along with our current GUV are nightmares on COVID street. How do they think a virus survives, spreads and morphs? By breeding in human hosts; death & disease by politically promoted genocide.
Lmao
This is not a surprise. Show one piece of legislation that Florida has passed y to protect children. They don’t even protect them us schools from gun violence. It’s a state for the grandparents, not the grandchildren
Florida’s leadership has a death wish for Floridians.
That’s a violation of others rights😡
That whole state needs to be thrown away
What they aren’t telling you is there is no contact tracing and the teachers are not allowed to say aloud that someone in the classroom is out with Covid. So it’s really no change.
We are 💯 living in a simulation… this is bananas
Based
My kid was quarantined 3 separate times from school last year. Never a symptom or infection. Missed 6 weeks, for what? Cuz she was “close” to someone who “might” have been…. Not good enough.
They called it “modified” quarantine here in Bucks County PA for teachers. They were to quarantine for everything except work. 😩
Make it make sense. 🥺 Please.
Forget a wall. We need a giant, hermetically sealed dome over Florida. Vacation at your own risk. Miami-dade and Broward can be exempted and become their own state. Rainbow Florida, maybe.
DeathSantis
Good thing COVID isn't know for asymptomatic transmission
What a maroon!
His quack 'doctor' can sign all the 'protocols' he wants. Schools will still institute mask mandates, and they'll win in court.
Because my mom said so
Because that’s how quarantine works. 😭 “Florida implements a state income tax … says it’s optional”
Floridians better get rid of ignoramuses or their state will literally disappear in covid thin air.
Quarantine optional(?)? What kind of solution is that! A dumb n dumber statement not to follow: STAY HOME!
I'm in NH and it's the same here. If your child is exposed, they can go to school as long as they wear a mask. No more quarantine. My workplace has the same policy.
They are really shooting for the Guinness Book of Records for stupidity! I see lawsuits….
It really is a death cult.
Basically saying, “Let’s just wipe out everyone under 18”
You can spread while being asymptomatic, it's kind of the biggest feature of COVID-19. Something in this Matrix is clearly broken.
How is this not negligent homicide? I’ve never seen an administration that not only puts its citizens in grave danger, but actually bans mitigation measures. DeSantis is dangerous.
Do any adults who are exposed to Covid but not symptomatic quarantine? I get exposed a couple times a week but I don’t recall ever getting to take a couple weeks off.
That is totally fucking crazy!
This is insanity.
Are DeSantis and his pretend Surgeon General trying to endanger or kill everyone in Florida?
This is literally based on no evidence. This guy had better hope he can make it in republican politics cause he’ll never be a doctor again
No surprise. For R’s in FL, children are expendable. School shootings? Meh. Pandemic that clogs hospitals? Yawn. The GOP stopped caring about life a long time ago.
Remember what happened to the surgeon general appointed by the former guy.
People have choices. That’s what it’s about. I bet you it turns out ok, because most people do better when trusted with their freedoms. Kids are relatively safe and unvaccinated people are taking the risk, which is 99% survivable. The fear people hold is most crippling.
We can keep the tea party GOP movement in office or VoteThemAllOut!
Ah, yes. The classic and always effective 'optional quarantine'! It worked fantastically well in Europe in the 1300s and I'm sure it'll turn out just as well for Florida!
Crule
Soccer mom diplomacy
It's as if they want people to die.
There should be laws against dangerous politicians like this. You should not have to wait 4 years to stop bullshit.
What thee holey heck!
Florida is a rogue state
Can Florida please secede now?
This guy was at the demon sperm rally so....
Just when you think it can’t get more insane or illogical…
This should be a warning to every sane, competent, decent person in Florida, or what’s left of them: get the hell out.
My body my choice huh? Same goes for abortion. Correct?
parents parenting 🤯🤯
Florida's new surgeon general is going to lose his license to practice and he'll never get another research grant in his lifetime
You can contribute, considerably, to 680,000 American deaths, but when you start killing children, people take notice.
Does he know number one in cases is not a good thing?
Stupid and deadly. Bad combination.
funny how the exact same people shrugged when the Sandy Hook Massacre happened 'pro life' though
What the hell Florida?
Imagine a career where you can continually make massive mistakes that kill thousands of people and millions think you are the right choice to lead a country.
What a great idea, maybe they should extend this to measles and polio too? How about for chicken pox, mumps and TB as well?
Build the wall along the GA-FL border.
As long as teachers and parents can sue the school district and or OSHA can levy massive fines on school districts, sure go ahead.
I've said this jokingly before but I now genuinely believe Florida's government is trying to kill as many of their constituents as possible, I'm just not sure why
Follow the science said no republican ever. idocracy
Duh Santis strikes again. 2022 can’t come fast enough so we can vote his ass out of office. Provided that the GOP doesn’t do their usual cheating during elections. That’s how he got into office the last time.
I feel pity for conservatives. They are losing their way of life. It just isn't the way they expected to.
Are you freak'n serious? Maybe the school should release the names of the parents who decide to do that so that they can be 'convinced' by other parents to NOT do that.
What is it about the GOP that compels them to employ doctors who defy medical science and lawyers who have no regard for the rule of law? To the GOP, vaccines and masks in a pandemic are bad, but insurrection and baseless claims of fraud to overturn an election are good.
Spread The Virus and bring in a backup to agree!
This is absurd. They're removing all authoritative powers away from the schools' administration. Masks were optional and now quarantines are optional. What's next? Education is optional?
Don't you think actively working to spread covid should be illegal? When are people going to start taking these people to court?
Desantis is so Obvious appointing this surgeon general! “The Hell With Our Children”!
More Idiocy.
When is karma going to catch up to these murderers?
Isn't that neat.
Exposed? Stay home.
This is a sensible policy that puts the well-being of kids as the highest priority.
Irresponsible
Oh lawsuits are coming
Hooray for anti-public health policy! Woo hoo! Are you serious? A state-sponsored policy allowing parents to risk the health of other children? SERIOUSLY... who could possibly support this insanely idiotic policy and the politicians behind it. Seriously! WAKE UP !!!!!!!
Dang. Florida over here just pulling all the stops to make sure their population decreases significantly over the next 12-24 months.
Good to see Republicans playing politics with public health.
Every single day, I thank fate that I never lived in Florida.
Nobody outside of Florida actually likes Florida. Is it too late to give it back to Spain
Raise your hand if you want that guy doing a surgery on YOU.
Can I, pretty please, be present when Karma knocks on his door
Trump move. Appoint the worst possible candidate for the position.
DeSantis, trying to get kids sick like it's his job.
Wow
Seriously, what is wrong with Florida
