Tennessee legislators thought acknowledging the right of teenagers to get medical treatment undermined “parental authority.” Photo: Alisha Jucevic/Bloomberg via Getty Images If you want a clear and dangerous sign of how far down the anti-vaxx rabbit hole Republicans are going these days, look no further than the shenanigans going on in very red Tennessee the last month.
Sen. Janice Bowling, R-Tullahoma, who repeatedly has spread vaccine misinformation during legislative hearings, insisted the state was misinterpreting its legal authority.Bowling urged [State Health Commissioner Dr. Lisa] Piercey to “take action” to “remove the fear, the concerns and the anger that has gone across the state as a result of letter.”
And then having inadvertently stirred up this right-wing hornet’s nest by doing her job, Fiscus got the ax this week. She did no go quietly, releasing a statement that made it pretty plain she thought the legislators who indirectly forced her firing were destructive yahoos, and that her agency superiors were cowards for shutting down vaccination education efforts that had nothing to do with COVID-19.
Now it’s true we have no absolute proof Fiscus was fired for the reasons she claims. But her former employers refused to give the Tennesseean any comment on her termination, and the bang-bang-bang timing of it all leaves little doubt about the chain of events.

IDIOTS!

Take a stroll through any graveyard from before widespread childhood vaccination began, & before effective antibiotics - they're full of dead children who caught diseases that are now eradicated or easily preventable by vaccination. Except in Tennessee, apparently. GOPDelendaEst
