"...permitting nonmedical exemptions from vaccination is a threat to individual children and to the community at large."
"Another confounding factor is Russian agitprop intended to create concerns and confusion about vaccination in the United States."
"Health care workers should be required to be vaccinated against flu and other common infectious diseases... Physicians whose practice includes caring for children should decline to treat families who refuse vaccination."
"...we should reconsider whether 'religious exemptions' are legitimate... Social media outlets should consider carefully whether anti-vaccine messages, which by definition are fake news, should be rejected as a threat to public health."

Pre-insurrection speaker John Eastman goes full Calhoun, calling for restrictions on internal movement between states and the formation of mobs for "high intensity" demonstrations in cities. amgreatness.com/2021/08/10/how…
Eastman goes on to propose that states make payments in cryptocurrencies to subvert the US dollar.
Here's a call for nullification, to be invoked "if under color of the law the feds egregiously subvert individual civil rights," which Eastman admits would "produce the highest level of direct state-federal confrontation."

“They find it tolerable” is probably the best you can say about them.
They find it tolerable that declared fascists have major platforms in conservative media.
These pundits live in a self-imposed fantasy land. “Our chosen ones would never pander to the antivax sentiment that’s become endemic on the right, and shame on you for daring to make such an implication.”
The funny thing is that these same people would say “Trump isn’t a cause, he’s a symptom.” And they had a point. Trump was a symptom of a conservative movement that lost its way, and a feckless political class that fell in line behind him.
Yet their favored candidates, no they can’t be symptoms of the movement that produced Trump. They’re causes! No one tells them what to do!
I'd like to see the 1/6 Select Committee invite former Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos to read her resignation letter aloud. static.politico.com/8b/7a/29084d4f…

Vance in 2016: “In nominating Trump, Republicans have come full circle: The party of Lincoln has become the party of the white man. And that man has become extremely cynical.” nationalreview.com/2016/08/race-r…
Vance: “The reality is not that black Americans enjoy special privileges. In fact, the overwhelming weight of the evidence suggests that the opposite is true.”
“Getting whipped into a frenzy on conspiracy websites, or feeling that distant, faceless elites dislike you because of your white skin, doesn’t compare.”
