Florida, a Leader in the Rejection of Science

Assuming Trump is gone by 2024, Ron DeSantis is, at this moment, the most likely Republican candidate for the U.S. presidency. As shown at left, he’ll certainly have the backing of every anti-science moron in the country.

The county immediately to the north of Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, has removed most COVID restrictions, but not because they’re anti-vaxxers.  They have a huge vaccination compliance and, as a result, they have omicron fairly well under control.

The county’s largest city, also called San Luis Obispo is largely a college town (home of California Polytechnic State University) with lots of nice restaurants, good shopping, art, and live music.

The point is that it’s a sophisticated little place, one in which you would be hard-pressed to find a single idiot, like the fans of Ron DeSantis.  Florida had 110,000 new omicron cases yesterday. That’s a half of a percent in 24 hours.
