Try to contain your emotions.

This opinion piece is a fairly obvious jab at DeSantis's pretty sophisticated political ploy.

DeSantis wants Trump's voters without courting Trump.

In order to do that, he has to build his own credibility with those voters, many of whom believe crazy conspiracy theories about the covid vaccines.

In this world, all is black and white. Gray areas need not apply.

I listen to true vaccine experts like Paul Offitt who said over and over and over again that boosters were not helpful to most people. He thought there was no point in Biden pushing boosters when half of Americans had not received the initial vaccine.

I also listen to mental health professionals who say we should never have locked down the schools. Children are at very low risk from covid, and at very high risk of mental health problems due to the lockdown. Those children will never get those two years back when they were locked away at home away from peers and many important learning experiences.

DeSantis is a smart guy. Please do not call him dumb. Please do not underestimate him. He is very dangerous.

This covid grand jury is just a showy way to attract Trumpies. It will come to nothing. Don't waste your brain cells thinking about or reacting to it.

Find ways to support Democrats who will preserve our democracy. DeSantis must be stopped. He cannot win the next presidential election. Keep your focus there.

Children weren’t locked down at home. They played and socialized with peers outside of the school environment. And it wasn’t just a matter of children. It’s as if teachers and the well-being of their families are irrelevant to the balance of competing considerations. As for boosters, Offitt is a principled purist who must admit that boosters provide substantial protection from severe disease and death for elderly, obese and immunocompromised populations and there being no good rationale for not receiving a booster. If anything, the messaging for get a booster (because it provides a short term benefit of protecting against mild to moderate disease) is simpler than targeting subpopulations at higher risking severe disease/death. The same holds true for the bivalent booster which is criticized because it may not be a perfect match. Well, that’s frequently the case for the seasonal flu vaccine and yet medical professionals don’t take a wait-and-see approach for those vaccinations. But let’s not feed into the lies that the vaccine is worse than the disease or that kids don’t get seriously ill or suffer  long term health complications from COVID.[/quote]
