Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic – Arthur C. Clarke
Clarke didn’t take into account that ignoramuses have different a different conception of “sufficiently advanced” than most of us do.

Good to see Rep Stickland putting his community college degee to good use. The idea that medical doctors know anything about medicine is just crazy thoughts.

This guy should renounce any device that allows messages to be communicated by magic radio waves that can’t be seen and that use crazy, tiny electronic switches to show pictures, that stuff must surely be the work of the devil.

“Do our state a favor and mind your own business. Parental rights mean more to us than your self enriching ‘science.’”
The best part is that this exchange was all tweets, so it took place on those magic electronical telephone devices that “science” helped create.

Make the case for your sorcery to consumers on your own dime, Like every other business. Quit using the heavy hand of government to make your business profitable through mandates and immunity. It’s disgusting.
Me, on why churches shouldn’t be tax exempt.
Edit: I think the real WTF here is that this guy thinks that vaccines are bunk but that it’s okay to sell bunk vaccines on a free market without government interference.

This rep also doesn’t understand that Jonah Ryan from “Veep” is not a political role model:
Amy: Jonah, your anti-vaccination message is bringing together an unheard of mix of Orthodox Jews, uneducated fringe conspiracists, and kombucha-douching private-school moms!
Jonah: That’s the real America!
Later in the episode, Amy calls Jonah “Patient IQ-Zero” after he ends up spreading chicken pox along the low-vaccination-rate campaign stops.
