2. Not to mention the medical faculty (and training residents) who leave/refuse to come

Nor the best minds in technology and related who refuse to relocate themselves and their families to regressive states--even if taxes are lower. Why would climate scientists or well-trained meteorologists relocate to these states if everything they say and know is politically discounted? Why would any competent Public Health professional agree to work in Louisiana or other states that are now outlawing even the discussion--much less programs--to encourage influenza, COVID-19, m-Pox vaccine where appropriate and will undoubtedly increasingly dismantle school admission vaccination laws/policies?

When the PTB in many of these states finally wakes up to what they have wrought with their policies, it will be too late. Once again the poor who cannot relocate will bear the burden.
