Florida Surgeon General
#Joseph #Ladapo is a particularly extreme adherent of what is known as the “#medical #freedom” movement.
Its members, including Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. #Kennedy and Florida Gov. Ron #DeSantis (R),
downplay the value of vaccines and emphasize that the decision to vaccinate is one of personal choice.
But when it comes to vaccines, medical freedom is far from free, and the movement’s supporters aren’t leveling with the public about the real cost.

This debate is playing out acutely in Florida, where Desantis and Ladapo are moving ahead to ❌ abolish school-entry requirements for vaccines.
When contemplating changes to vaccine policy, political leaders should take into account the health and economic implications.
Ladapo did not.
He acknowledged that his office had not modeled disease outcomes before announcing his new policy.
His announcement came against a backdrop of an increase in #whooping #cough cases in Florida,
💥which are up 81% over last year,
not to mention a spate of measles outbreaks nationwide.
Ladapo demonstrates a lack of concern about the health of the Floridians he was hired to protect.

Sliced Bread: Cough Medicines

Are cough medicines any better than just taking honey and lemon?

When Listener Sally sent in a croaky voicenote to our Sliced Bread Whatsapp number (07543 306807 - put us in your contacts!) we knew we had to tackle this one.

Sally didn't think the medicine she used for her cough did very much, so she joined presenter Greg Foot and Jacky Smith, Professor in Respiratory Medicine at the University of Manchester, to get some answers.

Hello dear freaks and freakinettes!
I‘ve been nursing a nice cough for a week now, so I thought I should maybe change my foodstuffs.
Napa cabbage was price reduced, so I got five. Means, I spent Saturday salting, chopping, washing, straining etc… but really looking forward to the result now.

The ginger bug didn’t look too bad either, so yesterday I made ginger beer and root beer. The kimchi’s already hugely burpy, now awaiting the drink section…

Does anyone else say something like "bloomin' eck" after the third cough in a row just to acknowledge to people that you know three is a bit excessive and you are trying to get siht under control?
