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.

    This man and those enabling him are going to get soooo many people killed. The number of deaths from preventable diseases is going to spike for decades after these policies are enacted. I guess childhood death to terrible, completely preventable diseases is just “part of the human experience”, though.

    Fucking evil ghouls. I hope they directly feel the effects of their policies.

    What the actual hell is happening over there?! Your country is hurtling backward into the Dark Ages, and everyone’s just sitting on their hands like it’s no big deal?! How can you all just stand by and watch your nation get destroyed without lifting a finger?!

    P.S. And don’t even get me started on the Epstein files - how is it possible that NOTHING has leaked yet?! This is downright embarrassing.

      Let’s say you live in Germany and Spain decides to remove mandatory vaccines. Are you going to travel 1200+ miles (2000+ km) to be ignored by politicians? Or would you just avoid Spain?

      Because that is my situation with Florida. The USA is a big place. I’ll just avoid Florida and Floridians as best I can.
