TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Florida surgeons General Joseph Radapop and Gov. Ron DeSantis have announced that Florida wants to become the first state without a vaccine order. The medical community is responding to this massive announcement.
Currently, children need to take certain shots before entering schools such as measles, tetanus, chicken pox, hepatitis B, and polio. Ladapo said there is no Monday Rift schedule. He said some vaccine requirements could now be lifted, while others would require approval from state legislators before they could be removed.
Florida surgeon general announces that the state is working to end all vaccine orders
Radapop said that giving residents the freedom to choose what is in their bodies is a major priority.
“All of those last ones, the last one is wrong, dripping with da and slavery,” Radapop said. “If we want to move towards a perfect world, a better world, you cannot do that by enslaving people to a terrible philosophy and robing people of their freedom. That’s not the way.”
The doctor said this could have a major impact.
“Children use it to die everyday from these illnesses. They aren’t anymore,” said Georges C. Benjamin, MD, executive director of the American Public Health Association. “I believe that both the governor and the Florida surgeon general are wrong about the facts, wrong about science, and that the recommendations are wrong for the people of Florida. And these recommendations will result in many premature and unexpected deaths that were preventable.”
Benjamin said the vaccine is one of the biggest public health outcomes. DeSantis said he wanted to be transparent.
“Informed consent, we are just willing to make sure we protect our parents’ rights and then challenge health orthodox that is not supported by the data,” the governor said.
USF professor Dr. Jill Roberts said it would become a vaccine if the number one public health measure had to come up with inventing the last century.
“And actually doing anything to take the vaccine from people, especially children, is just devastating,” Roberts said. “In my office it’s right next to the Moffitt Cancer Center. Can you imagine measles coming into Moffitt?”
Roberts said freedom is part of the debate, but it could create a dangerous environment for people who are unable to receive the vaccine or have autoimmune.
“Science didn’t change. That didn’t change. We actually put the vaccines based on science and risk,” Roberts said. “You can see the data before [and] After that data. And we see that the vaccine actually had a huge and huge impact. One thing that happens when we don’t have them is that people don’t have the awareness that they are planning on a particular vaccine. This is my biggest threat so far. ”
Benjamin said that we have no safe illnesses and in many ways could hurt the nation.
“You have a huge tourism industry. Why do everyone in the world come to the state and take your children to a much higher chance of getting infected?” Benjamin said.
The Florida branch of the American Academy of Pediatrics has sent the following statement:
“The Florida chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics (FCAAP) believes that all families should have access to vaccinations to maintain the health of their communities. Schools are an important part of that community. For many kids, the best part of school is sharing spaces, playing in the playgrounds, learning together. Vaccination can make the disease difficult to spread and allow you to continue learning.
