Yesterday I more or less asked how any person of honor or morality could be a Republican after Bush II and, now, Trump but this story shows that no one who has any moral foundation or honor could be a Republican.
Most Republicans are rejecting Democrat-led state bills to tighten childhood immunization laws in the midst of the worst measles outbreak in two decades, alarming public health experts who fear the nation could become as divided over vaccines as it is over global warming.
Democrats in six states — Colorado, Arizona, New Jersey, Washington, New York and Maine — have authored or co-sponsored bills to make it harder for parents to avoid vaccinating their school-age children, and mostly faced GOP opposition. Meanwhile in West Virginia and Mississippi, states with some of the nation’s strictest vaccination laws, Republican lawmakers have introduced measures to expand vaccine exemptions, although it’s not yet clear how much traction they have.
Some of the worst of the Republicans doing this are MDs like Rand Paul, a Republican so devoid of morality that he uses his Congressional Socialized Medicine for himself, even as he is one of the most depraved of the assholes who support this depravity. And there is the depraved, mental degenerate brain surgeon, Ben Carson.
The political struggle over vaccination is complicated by the fact that President Donald Trump and two of his Republican primary foes, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) an ophthalmologist, and Ben Carson, a neurosurgeon who is now HUD secretary, both voiced support for disproven theories linking vaccine to autism during a 2016 debate. Just last month, Paul said he had his own children vaccinated but railed against government mandates to do so.
Republicans are such moral degenerates that they knowingly want laws that will result in more children being exposed to diseases that could be prevented, who don't care if they suffer short or long term illness and health consequences, become disabled from various childhood and other illnesses, consequences including blindness, deafness, brain damage, permanent respiratory problems. Remember that at the same time they are grandstanding for the idiocy of allowing the most ignorant, superstitious and social-media-media retarded parents to practice a criminal level of neglect and abuse of their children, of endangering the life and well being of children as a "parental right" that they will certainly cut any kind of program for caring for such children, for providing them with aid, educational help - I can imagine Betsy Devos will be trying to schedule the use of her 19th yacht as she cuts that out of the budget - Trump and William Barr are trying to get the Republican-fascists on the courts to get them thrown off of any health insurance and, you know, I don't have any confidence that the Republican-fascists put there by McConnell, Grassley and Graham won't do that.
Republicans in 2019 are the worst political force in the history of the country, even the most vile segregationists and slave-owners and Indian murderers had higher standards than they do, as a group. Individuals, yes, but it was never as generally spread across an entire political party as it is now. The Republican Party is totally devoid of any virtue, no one who is a part of it has any right to be exempted from responsibility in what it is.
