An NPR investigation found Louisiana health officials told staff to stop promoting vaccines for COVID, flu and mpox, holding flu shot events or otherwise encouraging the public to get those vaccines.

Donald Trump and MAGA could not help but bring back COVID.

Let's see how many of you die this time.

Do you think that if a kid got COVID and measles at the same time, he would die?

Soon to become a thing.

... This one-day cancellation will provide an opportunity for students and staff to remain home, help reduce further spread, and allow for additional cleaning and disinfecting of the campus ...

Will a closure of just one day be enough to fix the problem?

Or might the problem reappear when everyone returns to school?

"The school says the cancellation will not effect the Corporate Work Study Program Draft Day, which will happen at Bethany in the auditorium."

Future workers from Park Ridge Achievement Academy unite! Strike, strike, strike!

Public health in the US is collapsing.

Too bad the idiots who drug the country down this path won't be the only ones suffering from their stupidity.

You know what's funny about this? I grew up in the Baker/Brownsfield area. They're about 2 miles apart. And Bethany? That was Pastor Stockstill's mega church on Plank Rd right between. That area is now around 95% black. I do not believe for a minute that they were short on vaccinations. You idiots are lame. ---- you
