Florida to become first state to end all vaccine mandates, including in schools
The move would make Florida the first U.S. state to withdraw from mandates credited with boosting vaccination rates and preventing infectious disease outbreaks.
Florida 2026:
Seems logical for a country that has a healthcare system that profits off people being sick.. get infectious disease, end up in hospital, go broke
It doesn’t work if doctors, nurses, and the rest of healthcare get sick too. If their kids are sick, they’re typically home with them. Hospitals don’t make money without staff.
These guys don’t appear to be thinking even one step away from the immediate impact.
Build the wall! Around Florida!
Soon nobody will care about the Panama canal lol
I did an essay on vaccines in Jr. High, 20-25 years ago. I was writing a persuasion essay and I chose vaccines. I always try to provide views from both sides... even back then. As a child, in fucking Jr. High, I found Andrew Wakefield's study that linked autism and vaccines, found all the evidence against it, found out he lost his medical license for it, and realized "wow, there really is no argument against vaccines. These people are fucking idiots!" Again at the age of 12 ish... fucking anti-vaxxer dipshits...
Vaccines are good as long as they are proven to work, and as long as they are effective enough to be worth the side effects and risks. Big pharma needs to be held accountable and kept honest, because they would definitely try to sell you vaccines that are not necessary or not effective if they could get away with it. It shouldn't be an all or nothing question.
Go do the research yourself. Vaccines are proven to work. Over, and over, and over again. The side effects are so incredibly rare they might as well be non-existent. Go do some actual fucking research, there is no argument against vaccines. The covid vaccine was in development for 20+ years due to SARS. That's how it was able to be pushed out so quickly. Go look at all the infectious diseases that are on the rise because dipshit mother fuckers aren't getting vaccinated or their kids. Its fucking stupid...
This is going end tragically for an unthinkable number of children and immunocompromised adults.
Yup.
The Republican party are enemies of the people of the United States of America.
that's the point.
Florida is truly the Florida of Florida.
Looks like I'm never going to Florida again
Enjoy your polio, antivaxers.
And don't forget to buy stock in iron lung manufacturers. Gonna be a BIG spike in demand.
What a shithole country.
Wow. Health crisis incoming.
More sabotage.
They will have lots of fun once they move out of there. If they get old enough in the first place.
The US is already at the tail end of modern countries when it comes to dying children due to the horrible health care. They are doing everything they can to get even worse.
Sounds like Florida is pulling ahead of Texas in their race to the bottom.
Good luck, good night.
US Balkanization when?
Have fun watching your kids die. God bless America and all that jazz...
I hope that the sea suddenly engulfs and submerges the whole of Florida.
It's okay. A surge of viral and bacterial diseases will turn FL into toxic soup.
Need to build a border, for the safety of the other states.
Honestly states should halt flights from Florida
This black guy compared mandatory vaccines to slavery
He and Kanye probably have a lot in common
They should run the KKK
The last time I was visiting my parents in South Carolina we went to a local art faire thing, and one of the stands was a dude selling art of Confederates. Not just any Confederates, Black Confederates. And the dude selling this art, was a older black man in full fucking Confederate uniform. The best part was the massive bread boards he had full of tiny font Confederate apologia that read like a SovCit manifesto.
Don't think the color of a person's skin naturally dictates their opinions on matters that you think it should, people will surprise you every time.
That is genuinely a terrible thing to do as a person of color. Seriously though, people suffered extreme abuse and he is out here saying that getting vaccinated is basically the same.
Even fascists in other countries aren't this stupid. What do they even want to gain in spreading diseases?
Even the fucking Nazis and Imperial Japanese understood that vaccines worked.
The Japanese in particular with Unite 731 even developed vaccines for the plague, then tested it by deliberating getting one unvaccinated group infected and another vaccinated group infected. The vaccinated group fared far better than the vaccinated group and had a much higher survivability rating.
There is a ton of fear about vaccines in some areas. I have a feeling some parents are about to learn some lessons in a really terrible way.
See Amish. They won't learn any lessons and just spin death as natural and God's will.
It started out as mostly pandering to their uneducated anti-vax base, but with fascists being in all levels of government now there are more conspiracy theorist true believers in office. So the dumber ones actually believe it, while the less dumb ones use it as a wedge issue to keep support (while being vaccinated themselves).
They're not even smart fascists they're like crazy, ignorant, stupid fascists
The ideal model of the Fascist economy is get poors to pay taxes and then die when they can't work any more.
I seriously think they want to reduce the population. And if you use disease and only allow the richest people to have access to vaccines, the poors and "undesirables" go first.
I truly think that it's that sinister.
Too many floridamen anyway
No idiot would make this decision. I don't think hitler was even this dumb. Science is real and works. Vaccines, medicines works. Trump and his friends have hidden agenda. Something is brewing in USA.
Trump and his friends have hidden agenda.
Donald Trump isn't a smart man and he has some very concerning beliefs. I mean we know for a fact that Trump slept/sleeps with a copy of Hitler's Speeches in his bedside drawer. He admitted that himself. He also has some very strange views on exercise, claiming the human body is like a battery and too much exercise can kill you. He tweeted that he believes vaccines cause Autism.
A lot of political positions have some weird fucking ideas on health and science, even the "normal" ones (Look up Posadism, right now, drop whatever you are doing and look it up right now, it's ducktits bonkers), but the Right are the ones who are most infamous for them. I mean the basis for OG Nazism involved Supermen with high technology coming to Earth on an Ice Ball (no seriously), but you also have ideas popular on the right like:
And many more.
Now I am going to also say that alongside insanity, there's a more "rational"/Machiavellian reason for them doing things like getting rid of vaccines and that is the following:
The reason why Trump and his ilk having these beliefs are the following:
Autism can be cured.
We now have a working theory on how autism develops — a genetic predisposition allowing malfunction in cell danger response — and an almost miraculous clinical treatment for it in children that is currently undergoing trials.

Unsurprisingly the cause and treatment are completely unrelated to the Right’s insane and dangerous conspiracy theories.
It's part of Project 2025. They need to cull social security recipients. Half of people in Florida are over 42, oldest state in the US. Kids are great at spreading viruses. It's just a version of smallpox blankets used to kill off natives.
People are dumb in groups
Group membership and beliefs carry way more weigh than anything else.
"The rollback could result in fewer school children getting immunized against deadly viruses such as polio and measles."
There is no "could"
What do you expect? The media bowed down to Trump. I didn't think fear of lawsuit would lead to this but here we are.
Hearing "who am I to say what you can do with your body" while also making abortion illegal is so infuriating. Like, listen to yourself talk...
Up in Minnesota the only hope I have is that the kids don’t create a national/international crisis when they travel and spread various diseases. We are all in this together.
Well on the plus side it's not like they'll ever be able to afford to travel internationally.
These deaths are going to be a lot harder to hide.
Make Iron Lungs Great Again
MILGA? it doesn't have the same ring to it, but with some work ...
Because being first is better than being intelligent. Or alive.
I mean if they chose to stay within their borders and die, I'd be perfectly fine with that and would actually support it.
But they're going to cross borders and infect us. That's basically a hostile act.
Unsure if I should Up or Down vote this.
My take is upvote for visibility.
Seems like a fast way to completely kill your tourism industry.
USA devolving in real time
What would it take for Canada and EU to close their borders?
A state full of plague rats. Sounds like a travel advisory from every government in the world that's not as fucked up as the US's.
DeSantis looks so unhappy
Well yeah, he's next to a person of color. Any racist would be livid if they had to share the same air with someone that is isn't white.
Step one. Step two is make vaccines illegal, Step 3 is send MDs to prison for administration.
Well to quote a famous Iowan:
Let them die...
florida man does a florida man move as governor
Measles likes this.
There will be a loooong break at the holiday season.
What's with this "first" narrative? Is CNBC trying to encourage more?
Encourage, no. Just preparing for the inevitable.
Certainly sounds like it
Who needs vaccines when you live in a swamp.
Florida is terrible for disease climate wise
This is natural selection in action
Too bad it's going to kill innocent people and not just MAGAdiots.
I can’t wait to die of some old disease.
Great, I'm also for mass sterilisations, even less americans.
