To be clear, he is not a surgeon but surgeon general. His says he is a family practice doctor, but is not board certified. His only board certification is in radiology.

No one said he's a surgeon. He's an anti-vax MAGA idiot, now 2nd in command at CDC. Libs owned again!

Bring back polio: wheelchairs build character!


Dr. Ralph Abraham, who as Louisiana’s surgeon general ordered the state health department to stop promoting vaccinations and who has called Covid vaccines “dangerous,” has been named deputy director (second in command) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

DP to add, for the MAGA party to say they believe in meritocracy yet push a guy who appears to be unable to pass a board exam for family practice, to the 2nd in command of the CDC? Oh the hypocrisy.

Follow up stories indicate they were not infectious. However, if they did have herpes, in rhesus macaques get herpes B, which is fatal to humans, so no joke.

Do you think the children of the millions of recent immigrants are vaccinated? Does that health threat concern you?

DP. If they are in school, yes. VFC also provides them for free if the child is uninsured.

Wrong. I work in public schools. We can't ask questions or require vaccinations.

You are not a nurse.

Every state requires vaccinations in general, but many allow for personal or religious refusal.

+1. Not sure if you live in some random red state with no requirements for vaccines for public schooling but in DC and Maryland you are required to submit proof of vaccination upon enrolling your child. I had one vaccine listed outside of the consolidated record and you would better believe that the school nurse followed up with me to make sure I sent proof of that last vaccine.

Nope...Minnesota allows exemptions for for personal or religious beliefs.

And what do you think the rate of immigrant families filing for personal or religious belief exemption has been, as opposed to getting free vaccines?

+1 The people filing for these exemptions, which are time consuming, are wealthy white MAHA type moms who trust "their own research." And I'm glad I live in Maryland where the school nurse does check up to make sure my kid has every vax they require.

Without peeking, are you able to name those vaxes?

It’s really a shame - Mississippi and West Virginia have had a long history of being the only two republican led states to stand firm on no exemptions for childhood vaccines except for medical reasons. The other states are California, Maine, Connecticut, and New York. As an MD who worked in Alabama, there were many public health leaders who were envious of the non partisan support for vaccine mandates in those states, which had similar challenges in terms of health access, poverty, and lack of education. The leaders of West Virginia and Mississippi knew that their citizens were particularly vulnerable to preventable childhood diseases if not for vaccines.

Now, the mandates that have stood for 40-50 years are being dismantled. Mississippi has already struck down a ruling from 1979 to disallow personal or religious exemptions. Despite the efforts of outgoing republican governor Jim Justice to save the mandate, the succeeding republican governor, Patrick morrisey signed an executive order to allow them. West Virginia’s and Mississippi’s positions at the top of the table for rates of childhood vaccination are about to tumble.

Anti vax legislators, who are all republican, do not seem to care about childhood morbidity and mortality due to preventable infections. Perhaps when women get rubella and suffer miscarriages/give birth to deformed, blind, and intellectually disabled children, they will reconsider.

And if you need another reason not to move to Florida, the Florida surgeon general whole heartedly supports a bill to get rid of all childhood vaccination requirements.

I'm not a nurse, but I support special ed students, many of whom are the children of recent immigrants. I'm very aware of regulations.

How do you know student's vaccination status? Unless you are the RN, you do not get that info with HIPPA

You seem determined to question what I know. In schools, FERPA, not HIPPA controls info. Social workers, school psychologists, admin, etc have access to medical records provided by parents.

Not the PP, but I was a social worker for our preschool special ed program. I did intakes with families including gathering enrollments docs. Vaccination records were mandatory unless there was a religious exemption.

Yes, but some states have exemptions for personal belief reasons. Minnesota is one of them.
