In a deviation from federal recommendations, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' administration is advising residents under the age of 65 not to get the new Covid boosters from Pfizer and Moderna.
"What I have directed our department to do is to provide guidance that really recommends and advises against the use of these mRNA Covid-19 vaccines for anyone under 65," Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo said at an online panel hosted by DeSantis on Wednesday.
The statement ignores the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's recommendations: The agency said on Tuesday that everyone ages 6 months and up who has not gotten a Covid shot within the last two months should get a new booster, which targets a subvariant of omicron called XBB.1.5.
"Vaccination remains the best protection against Covid-19-related hospitalization and death. Vaccination also reduces your chance of suffering the effects of long Covid," the CDC said in a statement on Tuesday.
But Ladapo questioned the CDC’s rationale.
"With virtually every walking human being having some degree of immunity and the questions we have about safety and about effectiveness — especially about safety — my judgment is that it’s not a good decision for young people and for people who are not at high risk at this point in the pandemic," Ladapo said.

The Florida Department of Health, however, wrote in a release that "the most recent booster approval was granted in the absence of any meaningful booster-specific clinical trial data performed in humans."

The United Kingdom has opted for a different vaccination strategy than the U.S.: It is offering boosters this fall only to certain groups, including people ages 65 years and up, residents in elderly care homes, and younger people with an elevated risk of severe disease.

Generational stereotyping is evidence of a catastrophic inability to think. People who do it aren't just insane, they're stupid. I see a lot of that insane stupidity on this forum.
Joe Biden was born in 1942, he is pre boomer, so dont blame me.
He’s a boomer anyway.
ROFL! I didn’t say anything of the kind. 😂😂
You’re nuts. I’d say all millennials are nuts if I were anything like you, but fortunately, I’m not. I know some really good ones.
And then there are the ones like you. Thank you for the hearty laugh.
No he’s not. You just hate all older people.
Go polish your participation trophies or you might get a time-out.
And get that Tide Pod out of your mouth. Those are for doing laundry, not for snack time.
I shouldn’t have added your name just because you replied to the other person. Sorry.
There’s a reason they’re called the Greatest Generation. We will always be grateful to people like your dad and all of those who participated. ♥️
No apology necessary.
That poster continues to beclown himself with additional stupid comments. 🤡 LOL
With 300 Trillion in underfunded liabilities, we either cut all government spending, or we must reduce the number of 65+ year olds.
So, he’s going to take his own advice this time?
*Again, presidential.*
Oh, please. Name one Republican state encouraging vaccines -— I’ll wait.
There is nothing special about little Ronny and judging by his poll numbers, voters understand this the more they see and hear him.

“””Every president from Clinton today has been a boomer “””
Biden isn’t a boomer.
No wonder we’re failing with your nonsense response.
Speak for yourself, Skip.
*You’re* failing.
Now, get back to polishing your participation trophies.
Biden isn’t a boomer, he is from the Mick Jagger, Jane Fonda, John McCain, and Beatles generation.
He must be a latch key kid from Gen X who just didn’t get enough attention from mommy and daddy. Since we’re generalizing on this thread, his generation is forgotten for a reason. 🤣
The vax didn’t save anybody. Total poison.
I am over 65. Why not everyone? The jabs do not work so why not advise against them for everyone?
Wants to kill old people.
Of course that is what Presidents do these days, so yeah, I guess that makes Ron Presidential material....
If you are collecting Social Security they want you gone.
Soon.
