State Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo announced the recommendation Monday during a panel convened by the governor.

TALLAHASSEE — The Florida Department of Health is poised to officially recommend against giving coronavirus vaccines to healthy children.

Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo made the pronouncement at a Monday roundtable discussion on coronavirus mitigations policies convened by Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Ladapo, who leads Florida’s Department of Health, said his department’s recommendation would be the first of its kind in the country.

It came after a 90-minute discussion from medical experts skeptical of the benefits of various coronavirus mitigation measures such as vaccine mandates, mask requirements and business closures.

Florida is being ruined by quacks, fools, and charlatans. And the voters keep electing them.

1. DeSantis secretly using Joe Rogan as a secondary medical advisor?

[ProudMNDemocrat]

2. And people keep spending time and money there.

All the more reason to get vaccinated on order to stay healthy. Duh!

What does that Shingles commercial says about those who run 5 miles a day, work out, and live healthy lifestyles? SHINGLES DOESN'T CARE!!

COVID doesn't care either! The vaccinated will survive this.

3. Heaven forbid you should want your kid to STAY healthy and not get COVID.

[BradAllison]

4. Healthy until they aren't.

[not fooled]

5. Too bad for the kids

but it's difficult to feel sympathy for any adult who at this point takes medical advice from DeathSatan's administration. Destroying trust in government: Mission Accomplished!

6. Let's see their science and statistics

They don't have any? Oh.

[IronLionZion]

7. Florida might produce the next COVID variant

Since they know more than the CDC. Joseph Ladapo is a quack who should lose his medical license.

8. I'm curious how the elections are going to go

with no Rubles backing the repubs. Granted DeSatan will do whatever he can to screw us all but he wouldn’t be spending so much time in the panhandle, Panama City in particular, if he felt sure of the outcome. The still burning wildfires there are due to the state not releasing money to clear all the trees Michael knocked down. It’s been over 3 years and everyone knew we were one lightening strike away from this.

9. You're healthy until you get sick.

You're healthy until you get sick.

Vaccines are preventative in use.

Does he have the same recommendations for other vaccines for school children?

10. DeathSantis doing what he does best ...

[AngryOldDem]

11. Next it will be polio, ruebella, and smallpox vaccines.

After all, “healthy” kids don’t need those, either.

[womanofthehills]

15. I believe we stopped giving smallpox vaccines in 1972

Due to it being eradicated - probably still living somewhere in a bio lab because the military still uses smallpox vaccines in specific cases.

[AngryOldDem]

17. Thought that was the case, but wasn't sure.

[Initech]

12. When DoucheSantis hired that crazy guy to be their surgeon general...

I knew it was going to be a shit show, and I was right!

[Chainfire]

13. It is simple, politics are more important than children.

[sakabatou]

14. By their reasoning, healthy kids shouldn't get any vaccines if they haven't had the disease.

[Brainfodder]

16. So no DTP or Polio vaccines either?

Politic$ has fried your integrity?

(insert favorite insults here)!

[jmowreader]

18. It's easy to make health decisions in Florida

Simply do the opposite of what their “Surgeon” General recommends. I swear, if Ladapo said smoking cigars was bad for you I’d be stocking up on stogies immediately.

20. Ladapo is a fucking quack

Formerly a member of “America’s Frontline Doctors” who’s leader believes demon and alien sex is the cause of disease.
