return2ozmaFlorida to become first state to end all vaccine mandates, including in schools
notsosureGood luck, good night.
Florida 2026:
Fucking going backwards. Way to go, USA…wtf.
blitzenThe way you think the US, the US thinks of Florida.
And the way the US thinks of Florida, Florida thinks of… uh…
Florida doesn’t do much thinking.
Usually Mississippi. But under Desantis…
Them Missisissys gonna beat us to all that sweet healthcare savins!
Build the wall! Around Florida!

huppakeeSoon nobody will care about the Panama canal lol
Seems logical for a country that has a healthcare system that profits off people being sick
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.
One can hope that at least some doctors and nurses in Florida still remember the advantages of being alive and healthy due to vaccinations.
Sure, healthcare generally gets vaccinated. The cuckoo birds that made headlines are not the majority.
The measles vaccine is ~97% preventative. We count on herd immunity to cover the remainder.
In addition, this anti-vax wave includes removing subsidizing money from the public. Availability of vaccines will decline. Requirements promote availability and free programs.
I haven’t paid for a single COVID shot or booster, have you?
As someone that used to work in a Florida hospital, a disturbing number of people don't believe in vaccine use.
Yes, but herd immunity only works above a certain level. Vaccinations are not 100% effective and not every doctor or nurse can have all vaccines due to their own health conditions.
I would expect doctors and their kids to be up to date on their vaccines though, probably following the best current advice rather than the requirements.
I know here in Australia, there are vaccines that are not in the required schedule that many doctors recommend for parents.
Yes, but 95-97% effective is sufficient to usually keep one out of trouble. Extincting diseases is best, of course, but prsonally having a high level of immunity is still better that croaking because of a preventable infection.
95-97% effective is just that. It doesn’t work for 3-5% of those inmunised. Whether it reduces disease severity, hospitalisation and mortality are different questions with different stats.
Yea, but 3-5% sick is still better than close to 100% sick.
Of course. But vaccination isn’t magic either. Even if it seems so.
No, it is science and works as such.
Any doctor and nurse who has the reasonable capability of leaving the state is going to do so. Unless they’re batshit crazy, in which case you don’t want to be treated by them anyway.
They still get to charge you for the room you’re taking up while not being treated.
Looks like I’m never going to Florida again
woelkchenToo many floridamen anyway
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.
What a shithole country.
Well at least the leopards will have enough faces to eat ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
TheLowestStoneIt’s just a shame that leopards don’t respect borders.
Let me warm up my throat…🎶🎙️ WE ARE ALLLLLL FUCKED !
HorseChandelierAh that ditty with similar lyrics, by Infected Mushroom, is now running through my head…
TruscapeWest coast vaccine cooperative FTW
Enjoy your polio, antivaxers.
And don’t forget to buy stock in iron lung manufacturers. Gonna be a BIG spike in demand.
Confused_EmusHave fun watching your kids die. God bless America and all that jazz…
Rufus Q. Bodine IIIUnsure if I should Up or Down vote this.
dan1101My take is upvote for visibility.
Need to build a border, for the safety of the other states.
Possibly linuxHonestly states should halt flights from Florida
I can’t wait to die of some old disease.
samus12345US Balkanization when?
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.
Florida is truly the Florida of Florida.
Measles likes this.
“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.
This black guy compared mandatory vaccines to slavery
He and Kanye probably have a lot in common
They should run the KKK
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.
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.
senchawizardflorida man does a florida man move as governor
Who needs vaccines when you live in a swamp.
Florida is terrible for disease climate wise
Great, I’m also for mass sterilisations, even less americans.
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...
Even fascists in other countries aren’t this stupid. What do they even want to gain in spreading diseases?
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.
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 smarter ones use it as a wedge issue to keep support (while being vaccinated themselves).
