DeSantis defends Florida’s move to end vaccine mandates: “We’ve always been for informed consent and parental rights. When mandates coerce choices and penalize families, that’s not informed consent. Empowering people to decide for themselves is the right path.”-- Ron DeSantis

Oz: Secretary Kennedy strongly believes we need gold standard science. We need that science to be able to help families make better decisions for themselves and state governments because these are state driven issues usually, especially mandates to make those decisions more wisely. If you can do this in the right way, we very empowering because who loves children the most? Their parents, no matter what we might say, they're the ones who need to have the information. They should have the ability to make the wisest choices for their kids, not based on fear, but based in science

🚨 MASSIVE NEWS: Florida is ENDING all vaccine mandates statewide, and Governor Ron DeSantis just revealed that Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo can unilaterally REPEAL them at the Department of Health! "He also has the ability, which he's doing, to expand the religious objection to include moral and ethical concerns about it. And so we feel that's empowering people to make the right decisions for themselves and for their families." "As a parent, you shouldn't be penalized. Right now in this country, you go in for a surgery, some places won't see you if you haven't had the COVID vaccine or certain immunizations. Some pediatricians discriminate based on whether you've done Hepatitis B or not. And that's not informed consent." "When there are coercive impacts, when they're trying to coerce choices and there's negative impacts, then that undermines your ability to choose." "The reality is, we've always been for informed consent and we've always been for parental rights." Florida is a beacon for the entire United States.

Dr. Joseph Ladapo just dropped news that’s going to send shockwaves through the vaccine industry. Today, he announced that the Florida Department of Health, in partnership with Governor DeSantis, will be ending ALL vaccine mandates. That doesn’t mean just COVID mandates—ALL mandates, including the childhood schedule. It’s a move that gives parents full autonomy over what goes into their children’s bodies. This would make Florida the first state to commit to eliminating all vaccine mandates, breaking a decades-long tradition of requiring kids to be “up to date” on their shots to attend public school. And once Florida does it, chances are more red states will follow. It’s a complete nightmare for the vaccine industry, which has enjoyed decades of near-universal compliance from parents. But that all changed after COVID. Parents no longer trust public health—and the COVID reckoning is finally here. Keep reading for the next 9 stories 👇

Florida just became the first state to move toward eliminating all childhood vaccine mandates — meaning kids wouldn’t need shots for measles, polio, chickenpox, or hepatitis before starting school. Critics are calling it a “public health disaster in the making,” warning of preventable disease outbreaks. Supporters, including Florida's State Surgeon General, say vaccine requirements are, “immoral” and parents should decide. What do you think — protect community health through mandates, or let families take full control of their own choices? #vaccine #vaccines #kidsvaccinecuts #vaccinecuts #publichealth

Thank you Chris Cuomo for having me on your News Nation show tonight. It gave me the chance to explain why vaccine mandates are wrong and why Florida is absolutely right to remove them. Parents should have the final say over kids’ health, not the government. Parental choice is the cornerstone of a free society. Parents decide what their children eat, what schools they attend, what movies they watch, and they should decide what goes into their bodies. Mandates strip parents of that responsibility. They put the state in control of your children. That’s unacceptable. Parents, not bureaucrats, should make these decisions. Every other state must follow in Florida’s footsteps. Thanks for the opportunity to make that point clearly Christopher C. Cuomo NewsNation

Noem: Emergencies and disasters are always locally executed. The state manages them. And then the federal government comes in and supports. What we are doing here, sir, is empowering the state and the local officials to make the best decisions for their people because they know their people, they know their community.

Thank you Fox & Friends First for having me on to highlight Florida’s nation-leading school choice programs. With Florida opting in to the federal tax credit scholarship, low-income students in our state will have even greater access to education opportunities that best meet their individual needs. Grateful for the leadership of Ron DeSantis for continuing to put students first and empowering parents.

Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo says they are working to eliminate every vaccine mandate in Florida law. “What we’re working toward in this legislative session is an end to all vaccine mandates in Florida law.” “That’s something that we announced a few months ago with Governor Ron DeSantis, and we’re working to make it happen.” “This idea that forcing people to put things in their God given body is something that we should do is absolutely wrong.” “We need to achieve good ends through means that are ethical.” “Keep letting our lawmakers here in Florida know how important it is for people to be able to make decisions without coercion about what they put into their bodies.”
