Florida plans to become first state to eliminate all childhood vaccine mandates

Florida plans to become the first state to eliminate vaccine mandates, a longtime cornerstone of public health policy for keeping schoolchildren and adults safe from infectious diseases.

State Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo, who announced the decision Wednesday, cast current requirements in schools and elsewhere as “immoral” intrusions on people’s rights that hamper parents’ ability to make health decisions for their children.

“People have a right to make their own decisions, informed decisions,” Ladapo, who has frequently clashed with the medical establishment, said at a news conference in Valrico. “They don’t have the right to tell you what to put in your body. Take it away from them.”

Florida’s move, a significant departure from decades of public policy and research that has shown vaccines to be safe and the most effective way to stop the spread of communicable diseases, especially among schoolchildren, is a notable embrace of the Trump administration’s agenda led by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime anti-vaccine activist.

It's unthinkable. It's unconscionable. MAGA, once again, is literally determined to kill people. Oh, let's also not forget that this fucking moron called vaccine mandates "slavery".
 
Lots of ultra liberal hippies in Washington.

I believe all states have mandatory vaccinations, let’s see what happens in Florida. I bet the rates drop into the 70’s in 5 years.
I agree. And for MMR and varicella that is a very bad thing. I don't agree with giving young healthy kids COVID vaccines though.
 
There were two kids in h.s. who had had polio as young kids. Both had leg braces and used crutches to walk.

If parents choose not to protect their kids I suppose that is their right, but do they also have the right to endanger yours?
Go figure, right? The Con Artist KKKonservatives pretend like they care about fertilized cells inside a body, but they actually want living, walking, breathing, sentient humans to contract preventable diseases and then die from them, become paralyzed by them, or suffer from them for their entire lives. Oh, and if children somehow escape the avoidable terrors of polio, measles, hepatitis, whooping cough, etc., then the RepubliKKKans will make damn sure that they can't get health care or receive assistance to eat before they starve to death or die from a flu. These people are stone cold fucking evil. There is no other way to say it.
 
Who is taking them away? People are being prevented from getting them if they want them? I would be opposed to that just like I'm opposed to forcing people to take them.
Yeah, ain't nobody gon tell me what we can or have to do! Tell you what. I'm going to take the biggest shit. I'll wipe my ass because I don't want to ruin my pants. But I'm not going to wash my hands because I will be GODDAMNED if someone tells me what I have to do to be clean, safe, respectful, responsible, and healthy around other human beings. Then I'm going to walk back behind the counter and put together your sammich with my bare, shitty hands.

You people are feral fucking animals and should be shot.
 
If you've had the vaccine there is no danger dumbass. Oh wait you think the covid death stab is a vaccine even though people still got covid with the "vaccine". Lmfao
Jesus fucking christ. I honestly don't know why we let you people walk around in public, drive, procreate, and vote. Polio does not mutate like COVID does. Do you know how to tie a shoe?
 
You were either vaccinated or you didn't go to public school, you lying fucking asshole.

Oh pipe down, moron. You know nothing, you're just an idiot.

How bad is the measles comeback? Here's 70 years of data ...
Yes, measles was extremely common among children in the 1950s and 1960s, with nearly every child contracting the disease before the measles vaccine was licensed in 1963. In the years before the vaccine, the U.S. experienced millions of cases annually, and the disease was a leading cause of death and severe complications like pneumonia and encephalitis, making it a ubiquitous childhood experience.


Pre-Vaccine Era (Before 1963)
Before a vaccine was available, measles was nearly a universal experience for children.


More than half of children had measles by age six, and 90% by age 15.


Measles was not a mild illness; it frequently led to serious complications, including pneumonia and encephalitis (brain swelling), and was a significant cause of death and hospitalization.

The 1950s and early 1960s saw major measles outbreaks, with millions of cases and hundreds of deaths reported each year in the United States.

  • Shift in Disease Prevalence


    The disease went from being an almost inevitable childhood experience to one that could be prevented with high vaccination rates.
 
"...Most adults and many children should get an updated COVID-19 vaccine.
COVID-19 vaccination is safe for children 6 months and older...."


So, if it's a recommendation, it is relevant..
COVID vaccines were never mandated in Florida, you fucking idiot. It has nothing to do with this thread.
 
Oh pipe down, moron. You know nothing, you're just an idiot.

The measles vaccine has been required for public school enrollment for more than 60 years. I'm sorry to say it, but anyone older than that who is as stupid as you are doesn't deserve a voice in this conversation. You are old, ignorant, uneducated, bigoted, and frankly, you're gross, dirty, and filthy. I wouldn't let you water my plants while I was on vacation.
