That's insane. The TN DQH and TN GQP should both be charged with child abuse.

Tennessee also fired its vaccine chief:

Tennessee's Fired Vaccine Chief Called The State's New Rule Barring Vaccine Outreach To Teens "Toxic Leadership"

Michelle Fiscus, Tennessee's top vaccine official until she was fired on Monday, condemned a new move by the state's health department severely limiting its vaccine outreach to teens. The change, first reported by the Tennesseean, will stop all of the health department's vaccine events at schools and will halt all of their communication to teens about vaccines, including postcards notifying them about their second COVID-19 shots. The change, and Fiscus's termination, happened amid pressure from Republican state lawmakers, who have called the health department's vaccine outreach to adolescents an overreach that threatens parental authority.

The Tennessee health department "has been rolling over and appeasing these legislators instead of standing up for public health and the people of Tennessee,” Fiscus told BuzzFeed News. She suggested that Gov. Bill Lee and Lisa Piercey, the Tennessee Department of Health commissioner who reportedly authorized the change, capitulated because of their political ambitions. "Politics has conspired to create toxic leadership."

...

Fiscus was fired by the Tennessee Department of Health on Monday, allegedly over information that was distributed to medical providers about providing COVID-19 vaccines to adolescents. She later released a public statement saying she was scapegoated because of political pressure. "I am afraid for my state," her statement read.

“We have a legislature filled with people who are not scientists and not healthcare providers who have their own crazy ideas about vaccines," Fiscus said. "When they saw us trying to do our job of educating people, they saw that as undermining parental authority. They began saber rattling about dissolving the Department of Health, in the middle of a pandemic, which is ludicrous, and the department’s leadership absolutely crumbled.”

While back in the real world, a Public Defender friend asked a shithead Trumper client yesterday if he was sick because he was coughing so much. He responded, that he didn't think so, but that his roommate was sick with covid.

She has quarantined herself. I don't think she should have been working. She has only had one shot. Her cancer diagnosis and chemo keep getting in the way of the 2nd shot.

Why can't our country do tracing and require these idiot spreaders to quarantine?

[neoplacebo]

Why can't these idiots administer electric shock and strobe light therapies on themselves? Or at least lie on their backs in a creek or something.

Lots of contributing problems there - toleration of false and irrational equivalencies, lack of distinction between "opinion" and "fact", lack of ability/willingness to use available information, aversion to critical thinking, and yada and yada. This country is truly fucked and has no realistic chance of recovery. Sometimes it's good to be old.

But how much brainpower does it take to say to yourself these doctors have trained for twelve plus additional years to do what they do.

Maybe they really do know more than I or some internet blogger do.

These are people who voted for candidates who by any reasonable standard are totally unqualified for any office - and considered the total lack of qualifications to be a feature - not a bug.

I never trust doctors. I have many voodoo dolls of doctors that I keep on hand just in case I have a problem with doctors. As you know, most things in life are measured against other things in life.....some doctors are better than others. Some doctors are amazing. Some doctors should have been coal miners. I can tell the difference among these variants. They hate me for it.

[GoCubsGo]

There's oodles and oodles of quacks, but I tend to think the "top doctors in their field" tend to know of what they speak.

[O Really]

Sure somebody had to graduate last in their class, and some get burned out and don't give a damn, and some have excessive ego and arrogance, but your odds of getting good medical advice from a real doctor are way better than getting it from a talk show host or homeless guy on the corner.
