Federal funding cuts in Missouri: the scare tactics this article uses are soooo bad.

Here is the headline:
We all know how many people regurgitate “facts” just because they read a headline in the news. This article shows how dangerous that can be.
They start by saying that they are cutting $255 million worth of “funding streams” that are “so beneficial to vaccine funding in Missouri”. But THEN they say they don’t know how much of that is actually funding cut for vaccines. THEN they launch into the $135 million cut that pays STAFF. THEN we get down to the $1.5 million they get to fund vaccinations in Missouri. Which they admit is the ONLY FUNDING USED to pay for this program. Uh hello where is the state funding at? And furthermore, is insurance being used for these vaccines? I probably should ask WHO is the funding going to, staff or actual vaccines……..
Then they start wailing that vaccine rates have dropped from 90% to 85% blah blah…
Is this really about federal funding reducing vaccinations? Or is this bloated staff getting their job funding source cut? I am going through the funding cuts made to states, and tomorrow, I am reporting on that! *hint…..it isn’t the funding you think it is, and it has been the Wild West of how that money could be spent.
So many are against the cuts of wasteful spending that DOGE is implementing. Why? Because they are on the gravy train or their media (democrat) masters tell them what to think. In this case they are simply running their scare tactics. The only people that take this seriously, would be the sheep.
It's almost as if part of the reason for all the fear and panic narratives is to rationalize their reason for a job. We should start doing this for all jobs. If you don't buy this latest Batman comic, puppies will die in Fresno.
