Whooping cough cases in Florida have soared this year, marking an 81% increase from 2024's number.

As of Sept. 27, 2025, there have been 1,295 cases reported to the Florida Department of Health (DOH), compared to 715 cases for the entirety of 2024, according to the department's Reportable Diseases Frequency Report.

Getting them out of power is part of the solution because the longer RFK Jr has the ability to destroy the national health care agencies the longer it will take to fix things.

It is like you are against cleaning and dressing a wound because it won't heal it 100% instantly.

    No, Im against over simplifying the solution to get worthless internet points.

    The fact is, that theres a war of information. And because of people like you, that war is being lost. Far too many people only look for what fits their narrative, instead of what the actual truth is. Whether you realise it or not, you and those like you are advocating for stopping the bus at Trump and RFKjr. Which I am saying would be a mistake. They can be PART of the problem, but they are not THE problem.

    Saying we need to do first aid doesn't imply we shouldn't do anything else later. That is just you adding a bunch of extra meaning that is neither present nor implied.
