Moving boldly into the dark ages

Republicans will kill us all.

The Tennessee Department of Health will halt all adolescent vaccine outreach – not just for coronavirus, but all diseases – amid pressure from Republican state lawmakers, according to an internal report and agency emails obtained by the Tennessean. If the health department must issue any information about vaccines, staff are instructed to strip the agency logo off the documents.

The health department will also stop all COVID-19 vaccine events on school property, despite holding at least one such event this month. The decisions to end vaccine outreach and school events come directly from Health Commissioner Dr. Lisa Piercey, the internal report states.

Additionally, the health department will take steps to ensure it no longer sends postcards or other notices reminding teenagers to get their second dose of the coronavirus vaccines. Postcards will still be sent to adults, but teens will be excluded from the mailing list so the postcards are not “potentially interpreted as solicitation to minors,” the report states.

In order to paper over Donald Trump's incompetent COVID response, Republicans have now started  down the road of eliminating ALL vaccinations. This will lead to dead children.

We eliminated polio and smallpox, but Republicans now pine for the good old days of children dying from preventable diseases. 

STOP VOTING FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT YOU DEAD.
