      I usually go with Hanlon’s Razor in these situations (never attribute to malice what can adequately attributed to stupidity), but I don’t believe DeSantis would go with a stupid Surgeon General. I think he would go with a Surgeon General he knew was corrupt enough to follow his agenda.

        A different quote came to mind:

        It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!

        -Upton Sinclair, author of The Jungle

        Fair enough. It’s hard to see a reason other than malice for his behavior regarding measles.
