Florida to Eliminate Children's Vax Mandates

[Webster]

(The Guardian) Florida surgeon general says state will eliminate vaccine mandates for children
Children in Florida will no longer be required to receive vaccines against preventable diseases including measles, mumps, chicken pox, polio and hepatitis, the state’s surgeon general, Joseph Ladapo, announced on Wednesday.

In a speech announcing the move, Ladapo likened vaccine mandates to “slavery”.

Ladapo, hand-picked for the role by Ron DeSantis, Florida’s Republican governor, is a long-time skeptic of the benefit of vaccines, and has previously been accused of peddling “scientific nonsense” by public health advocates.

In his Wednesday speech he said that every state vaccine requirement would be repealed, and that he expected the move would receive the blessing “of God”. “All of them. All of them,” Ladapo said. “Every last one of them is wrong and drips with disdain and slavery.”

Florida plans to become first state to ban all vaccine requirements

Vaccine mandates are immoral and akin to slavery, says Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo.

I wonder how many children will die from this?

Hard to tell, because it’s not like they’ll die immediately if they do get sick from those diseases, or they die 20 years later.

That’s why people don’t believe in things like vaccines because you don’t see the immediate results or repercussions.

I'm not anti-vaccine...but with being said, I'm also cautious about vaccines because even though the government tries to tell us they're not harmful, they can be to some. Maybe even many.

I mean, we wouldn't have had to have the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 if they were perfectly safe. It's good to let parents make informed decisions. I refused the Gardasil vaccine for my daughter because she was 12 at the time and 3 girls her age died that same year. No thanks. It wasn't worth the risk.

I don't like how scientists and medical personnel don't want transparency when it comes to how harmful vaccines can be to some. They brush it off and gaslight you. No wonder parents are becoming more and more outraged.

For the record, only the mandates were eliminated. You can still get the vaccines for your child, you're just not required to.

I think the concern is that parents won't choose to get their children vaccinated at all, and that could potentially cause some deaths if they were to catch certain diseases. Poor people will most likely be more affected if they don't have the option of getting free vaccinations through the state? I'm not sure if Florida ever offered that? I know the state I used to live in gave away free vaccines, but it was usually a 3 to 4 hour wait.
