Local Miami media is sooooo mad that our Harvard educated black surgeon general believes parents should determine whether kids get a vaccine.
I remembered to put a link in this time! 🙂
This is what bothered me with the fake mRNA vaccines, if they worked then you’re good. So if you’re afraid of an illness, then get vaccinated and more on with your life instead of blaming others.
Your body, your choice.
Florida: Land of the free!
If all the others are vaccinated, then to only one who will get the measles are other unvaccinated students.
I had measles and chickenpox in school. Neither was a big deal..................
“Florida’s controversial surgeon general”
When you see the word “controversial” in the very first sentence you know it’s political hit piece propaganda
When I was a kid, I got Measles and then Chicken Pox all in a row. I was out of school for a month. And I know that I was vaccinated for both back then.
These kids need to ‘man up’ and just live through it like we did. ;)
I’m for Parental Choice when it comes to vaccines though it obviously isn’t 100%, as with all things in Life. ;)
If vaccines work so well, then the vaxx harpies should just take the shot - problem solved.
Like all collectivists, Karens, Marxists etc., they demand forced participation from everyone.
Meanwhile, they leave the borders wide open to diseased trash bring these diseases back.
Back in my days of going to school—late 60’s—early 70s—no one was barred from school if there was an outbreak of any typical childhood diseases. I was vaccinated for all the typical ones; measles, mumps, whooping cough, and smallpox. This was standard and normal. Nobody then was anti-vaccine.
When I went in the military in 1976, I got every shot they had.
Ownership of news sources is good feature.
The article is B.S. Nowhere in his statement does Florida’s Surgeon General allow for ill students or those showing early symptoms to attend class.
“Because of the high likelihood of infection, it is
normally recommended that children stay home until the end of the infectious period, which is currently March
7, 2024. As the epidemiological investigation continues, this date could change.
“However, due to the high immunity rate in the community, as well as the burden on families and educational
cost of healthy children missing school, DOH is deferring to parents or guardians to make decisions about
school attendance. This recommendation may change as epidemiological investigations continue.”
Notice the usual recommendation (not mandate) is for all children. This certainly does not make sense in a community with either high natural or vaccine induced immunity. One of the main reasons for mass vaccination for diseases such as measles is to obtain herd immunity so that normal daily activities such as schooling can continue. Now the fearmongers are doing as they did during COVID and denying herd immunity is to be considered in making public health policy.
That parents “should” keep sick students home is a recommendation just as the CDC also does. It is not a mandate that would require an executive order telling parents they “shall” keep children out of school.
IIRC-—MMR is a basic & demanded vaccine done when kids are very young—before school age.
IF there is such an outbreak after the decades of such AMERICAN kids getting MMR Vaccines——the problem is the UNVACCINATED INVADERS-—NOT AMERICAN KIDS,
Four years ago, I might have had an issue with Florida for doing this. Not anymore. The public health establishment is compromised and politicized. They are not looking out for the good of the people.
If you don’t like the unvaccinated, don’t let them in.
If you don’t like the unvaccinated, don’t let them in the country.
If you let them in the country, escaping vaccination among other things, shut up.
