How about let's not repeat smallpox and polio.

We need to stop this current virus as fast as possible so it doesn't become any worse.

There needs to be a corollary to Godwin’s law for moments like these.


Which college did you go to?


University of Florida


Here’s the immunizations the University of Florida requires: https://healthcompliance.shcc.ufl.edu/immunization-requireme...

Here’s the Florida law that requires immunization before entering K-12 school: http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Displ...

Based on the text of the law, immunization was required in K-12 Florida schools since at least 2002.

Here’s the law that required you be immunized against Hep B and Meningitis before attending the University of Florida, also from 2002: http://www.leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Displ...

And the administrative code that covers both K-12 and adult education: https://www.flrules.org/gateway/readFile.asp?sid=0&tid=12780...

It’s possible you didn’t provide this if you went to college before 2002, but if you went after 2002 then you just forgot. That or you signed a lot of waivers and forgot, but that’s a different claim.

I guess you can claim that fascism won in Florida back in 2002, but that’s not going to persuade a lot of people.


Well I went to college there in 2011-2014 and never, ever provided those docs. I don't have them now and never have had them. Honestly don't even know if I've had the Meningitis shot.

EDIT: Yes, you should read the text more carefully: "An individual enrolled in a postsecondary educational institution who will be residing in on-campus housing shall provide documentation of vaccinations against meningococcal meningitis and hepatitis B unless the individual, if the individual is 18 years of age or older, or the individual’s parent, if the individual is a minor, declines the vaccinations by signing a separate waiver for each of these vaccines, provided by the institution, acknowledging receipt and review of the information provided."

Declinable by waiver.


Sigh, the “gotcha” routine when you clearly didn’t read my entire comment is a tiring and sad thing. I called out the waiver thing, you didn’t read until the end before replying.

> That or you signed a lot of waivers and forgot, but that’s a different claim.

Oh the irony of you telling me to read the text more clearly.

Frankly, given that you’ve apparently forgotten all this, I do not believe that there’s no record of you getting vaccinated. Unless if you come from an anti-vaxx family, I think you probably got vaccinated and simply forgot about it.


>you can claim that fascism won in Florida back in 2002..

That is right, if it is true.

> but that’s not going to persuade a lot of people.

That is the second step. The first step is talking about it.


> That is right, if it is true.

It’s not though, that was my point.
