Beyond the antivaxx stuff MAHA is either banal or fake

A 22-year-old would have concocted a far more plausible story. "I hit a bear cub upstate, put it in my trunk then drove to a dinner party in Manhattan. At the party I realized I had to catch a flight and did not have time to dispose of it properly, so I dumped it in the park and blamed it on bicyclists."
When our daughter was approaching teen years we told her, "You and your friends are going to want to do something outside the rules so you will come up with what you think is a foolproof story. We will look at you and say, nah. we don't buy it. You know why? Because we told that same story long before you did.".
At 14 I would never have been stupid enough to float a story like RFK's.

There are numerous states where writing a letter of objection is sufficient to get you out of the vax mandate. Hell, Florida might have been one already. But it seems that would have sufficed for any liberty concerns while keeping herd immunity relatively intact.

Florida Man is making the "if they don't want to wear a helmet or seatbelt, they shouldn't be forced to" argument, which I can understand (but don't agree with in this case). The whooping cough vaccine, for example, doesn't have an impact on transmission of the sickness to others, but it does substantially reduce the severity if someone is exposed to the virus. Anyway, Florida Man is so focused on that "freedom/right" he doesn't realize how foolish and myopic his argument is.
