The arrogant smirk of the guy asking for the vote is what gets me. He’s treating this like a game, not a life or death situation for Americans who need health care — which is all of us.

About this Florida vaccine story:
When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough.
We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated.
“Oh, they’d have died.”
