Dr. Joseph Ladapo Breaks Down Decision to Remove All Vaccine Mandates in Florida

5Mind. The Meme Platform

In early September, during a joint press conference with Governor Ron DeSantis, Floridaโ€™s Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo publicly announced the decision to eliminate all state vaccine mandatesโ€”including those required for schools.

In this episode, Dr. Ladapo explains the decision, how it will take shape, and his response to critics of the announcement who say there will be increased outbreaks of infectious disease.

โ€œItโ€™s just not appropriate for someone else to be able to dictate or force you to put something into your body.โ€ฆ If you own anything, you do own your body, just as you own your free will,โ€ he says.

Floridaโ€™s Department of Health is removing all its current mandates, but a complete removal of all vaccine requirements from state law will require legislative action. Dr. Ladapo says heโ€™s confident it will be passed.

We also dive into his concern that many pediatricians can refuse to treat children on the basis of the childโ€™s vaccination status: โ€œTo be kicked out of pediatrician practices for that reason, itโ€™s just wrong,โ€ he says.

Heโ€™s working with Governor DeSantis on a Patientโ€™s Bill of Rights.
