Actually, a smart mother skips the medical exemption and goes straight to the religious exemption. Our bodies are sacred. But that's not really my point. It's been exceptionally rare to talk about "removing" a president because he was "unfit". I don't disagree with Biden's degree of "unfit-ness". But the whole discussion starts us down a slippery slope. I am just encouraging you to be a bit more curious and creative about how the discussion could backfire in the future.

I simply filled out their health cards myself. knowing they were never actually looked at. Of course, that was more than 30 years ago. I suppose it's all managed by computer these days.

Electronic health/medical records may make this difficult. In the early 2000s, many medical schools/teaching hospitals were moved from funding per bed to an elaborate grant ("bench to bedside"), requiring all manner of coercion at all levels of government, "public-private partnerships", participation from any drug/biotech company in the state, and... an electronic health/medical system to be established at least in that teaching hospital _system_. If those systems are actually integrated, it could be difficult to say "meh, we're current on our vaxxes".

Two words. Common Sense. Anyone with a normal IQ can see that Biden suffers from dementia, and at the stage he is at now, I would bet that within a year or a little more, it will be painfully obvious. (it is already obvious to most people) He will be completely incoherent, probably immobile and unable to feed, dress, or take care of himself in any way. Anyone who has/had anything to do with getting/keeping him in office is guilty of treason and should be punished accordingly. ALL of them.

Jen - your point is well-taken. Our conversation probably would have evolved to this point, had Mary not gotten into her box-wine so early on a Friday morning, and offered her unsolicited opinion.
