Florida only state not preordering toddler COVID-19 vaccines
The Associated Press ^ | June 16, 2022

MIAMI (AP) — Florida is the only state that hasn’t preordered COVID-19 vaccines for toddlers in anticipation of their final approval by the federal government, and Gov. Ron DeSantis said Thursday that he won’t facilitate their distribution, though he said they’ll be available to those who want them.

White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre, who confirmed Florida’s outlier status on Thursday, said not preordering the vaccines could mean delaying their availability in children’s hospitals and other facilities that have relied on state distribution of the shots.

Florida officials said the jabs would be available at pharmacies and community health centers, which can preorder them directly from the federal government, and that children’s hospitals and other clinics would be able to order them from the federal government via a state portal and receive them quickly.

“Doctors can get it. Hospitals can get it. But there’s not going to be any state programs that are going to be trying to get COVID jabs to infants and toddlers and newborns,” DeSantis said at a news conference. “That’s not where we’re gonna be utilizing our resources.”

Florida’s Health Department does not recommend COVID-19 vaccines for healthy children under 17, but says children with underlying health conditions should be considered candidates for them. That advice contradicts the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which so far has recommended the vaccines for everyone 5 years and older, saying the shots provide strong protection against hospitalization and death.

In Florida, pharmacies and several supermarket chains, plus some community health centers, can preorder vaccines directly from the federal government.

Good for Florida.

There is no reason for children and infants to get the clot shots.

No vaccines for anyone under 21 years. Period.

Anyone older than 21 can do whatever they want.

The tiny amount ALLEGEDLY actually dying of Covid is really small.
(And it’s always suspect because they throw in heart attacks and other causes for the adults and add one to the pile of Covid case deaths if combined with Covid———not really an honest number).

USA Today (leftist rage):
:How many kids have died of COVID-19?
Of the 73 million children in the U.S., fewer than 700 have died of COVID-19 during the course of the pandemic, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Rauch puts the figure into context using the number of people who can typically fit into a sports venue.

“Think about it in terms of football stadiums,” Rauch said. “In 100,000 kids, one of them is not going to make it with COVID. Everyone else who walked in is going to walk out.”

About 50,000 children under 14 have died of all causes since the start of the pandemic, according to the CDC.”

Wait, so DeSantis is publicly against giving babies the clot shots AND against the demonic perverts having sex with children? Doesn’t he know that it’s (current year)?

On another thread I looked up that 700 children died of Covid in all the time since it began in the US. 73 million children live here.

One death is sad but risking millions for a tiny advantage with all the shot drawbacks and possible deaths from the shots is not right.

Caught a snippet of a recent Trump interview on talk radio today. Still touting Operation Warp Speed as an accomplishment.

It had never been done before.

As a leader it was his job to get the bureaucratic red tape
out of the way and help get a vaccine ready.

Building the vaccine wasn’t his job. He knows nothing about
them other than any other layman does.

The accomplishment was amazing. The way they did it and
the problems that resulted from it, are only now being
fully understood.

I know folks were leery to begin with, but many folks
weren’t. I took the first two doses. I refused to take
any more.

I’m not finding fault with Trump bragging about the speed
with which the vaccine was developed. I’m not happy that
he might still be hawking it as something good.

That would bother me a lot more.

The pharmaceutical houses that put this stuff out, that’s
where wrath is finally going to wind up, and as it looks
now, rightfully so.

For many years, doctors have been “baffled” by the “baffling” number of babies who randomly died from SIDS.

Expect the Satanic vermin and psychopaths in our “medical community” to be even more “baffled” as SIDS inevitably skyrockets among babies in all states except Florida.

Yeah, well I hope the grownups have a talk with her she
can understand.

Use a grownup deer and a baby deer.

The baby deer wants something really bad, but it could make
her very sick. Then again, she may grow up, but have
problems inside her for her whole life.

The mama deer loves her and has to say no.

Aren’t you glad the mommy deer is there to protect her?

Would you help the baby deer if you could?

"Florida only state not preordering toddler COVID-19 vaccines"

I wouldn't trust these imbeciles to give me a vaccine that they claim is "proven safe". Why in the world would I allow them to give it to my young child?
