1. I am looking forward to getting the booster shot.

2. The LAST thing that people need to do is look at the facts. Right, Joe?

A good question to ask is: when will the Florida medical licensing board pull Ladopo's license.

3. Sure, that's perfectly normal and sound public health advice.

Intuition. Sensibilities. Yep, that's what halts infectious disease, all right.

4. Fuck 'em.

Anyone who believes this death-wish dog shit deserves what they get. I understand all the “extenuating circumstances” but I’m done caring.

5. What could possibly go wrong?

9. More dead Floridians!

10. I'm really surprised that Florida doesn't have its' own home grown variant yet.

6. Let's look at that intuition.

Back in the 14th century, when people started dying from bubonic plague, intuition said that it was Jews poisoning the wells, and so they started killing Jews. After a while, the plague stopped, so I guess that worked.

7. "That's where the truth lies, right down here in the gut. "

"Do you know you have more nerve endings in your gut than you have in your head? You can look it up. Now, I know some of you are going to say, ‘I did look it up, and that’s not true.’ That’s ’cause you looked it up in a book. Next time, look it up in your gut. I did. My gut tells me that’s how our nervous system works.”

11. Let's be clear

He is not a Surgeon General that believes that shit

He is Surgeon General BECAUSE he believes that shit
