Florida is planning to end all vaccination requirements in the state, including requirements for school children to get routine childhood vaccinations that protect them and their communities from severe and life-threatening diseases, such as Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib), pertussis (whooping cough), diphtheria, measles, tetanus, RSV, and polio.

What the state Surgeon General (pictured) had to say:

"What I'm most excited about is an announcement that we're making now, which is that the Florida Department of Health, in partnership with the governor, is going to be working to end all vaccine mandates in Florida law—all of them, all of them, all of them, every last one of them," Ladapo said. "Every last one of them is wrong and drips with disdain and slavery."

Disdain and slavery? Lmao. What is going on. I feel like…. I’ve been trapped in a K hole the last few days.

Crazy work, the USA is a really speed running towards a country destroyed by diseases which can be reduced in severity by vaccines. Just because some chuckle fucks don't believe in modern science and medicine. Unhinged, it's going to get brutal in the coming years. Populations are going to be fucked up, at least nature won't be overly strained by a high number of people.

Those who want to see the empire destroyed just need to sit back and watch them do it to themselves. Glorious times!

Yep, America is going to destroy itself from within...It's amusing, that my highly vaccinated ass is going to watch it all burn down (while voting in my interests whenever possible).

The problem is those diseased bastards can travel and spread their sickness wherever they go.

[–] asg101@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

Another good reason to wall them all in.

As if people need another reason not to visit that shithole.

We may need to close our border to protect OUR vulnerable populations from the American Plague

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

Nope...thousands of fat assholes in flip flops will pile into planes with their chubby kids and go to Florida next March.

The real problem is people from that shithole can still visit us.

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Maybe the border needs to add "vaccination status for common communicable diseades"to the list of eligibility criteria?

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 2 points 1 week ago

Nope cut them off completely, even the vaccinated could have picked something up from one of the unvaxxed. They should literally not be allowed out of their dumpster of a state until they get their shit together and meet the standards of the civilized world.

This is probably the most well-written headline I’ve seen in days

This morher fucker went to Harvard. He knows better, so my only guess is evil.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

There are a lot of idiots at Harvard, they just have more money.

Consider now that Florida is both a tourism and travel hub.
