Testament to how stupid some people are.
I mean, it was OK when the science experts and government were telling people facts, and the people licked it up. Now, it’s the internet rando’s and government sowing doubt.
Talk about your herd mentality. Is this a Social thing to go along with what the alpha’s believe so as to stay in the hive? That’s how religion works, after all.
If they only believed in herd immunity instead we wouldn’t have this problem.
Make fake science great again!
New 2nd in command at the CDC is a 70 year old who pushed Ivermectin during COVID and, as Surgeon General for Louisiana, halted flu vaccine campaigns.
US will no longer promote World AIDS Day, including not even mentioning it in speeches. Rationale seems to be that it was originally created by the WHO.

Did they mention why 3 states are over 100% increase. Seems kid of odd and random, are they losing state subsides as well as federal. It seems weird that those 3 states seem out of line with most of the rest.
I believe it has to do with age of cohorts (in those states) and being close to the subsidy cliff for income level.
So lots of people in 50s and 60s pre-Medicare age, with low income, that are exposed to losing their tax credits.
Thanks. I think if found another article that also said age was the primary driver. That and in the case of WV and Montana a lot of rural care that seems to be more expensive than the same care in urban/suburban areas.
This is the part that sucks. Goes along with all the other lies tRump and Admin says, which require someone to fact-check. “Waste their time.”
And the real problem is that there isn’t an army of intellectuals combatting the stupidity online. First, there are fewer smart people than there are the stupid.
Second, they don’t want to be the ones who have to waste their time online yelling facts that no one wants to hear (not as comforting to the stupid).
And when it becomes a crime to contradict the Govt,… well I’ll see all of you in prison, since I’ll be there, too.
