So, what is DeSantis trying to prove by going against the scientific recommendations? I’ll bet that the Florida health department also recommends the updated Covid vaccines.

Politicians who voice antivax rhetoric just because it has spread so far within conservative circles are making a big mistake. They have the ability to reinforce the public health message. But instead, they are helping give credibility to the charlatans who are deceiving people.

It is not a fundamental conservative principle to risk getting seriously ill, develop long-term health impairments, or die just because you want the “freedom” not to have a needle stuck briefly into your arm. No one should ever base their health decisions on what they think most aligns with their political views.

Also, death rates from Covid declined from 2021 to 2022 (because of vaccines). Among children age 15 and lower, however, Covid deaths increased. Yeah, vaccines are important for everyone.

The vax didn’t save anybody. Total poison.

Did you apparently miss the part where it said the Florida surgeon general is the one making this recommendation?

“”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,” the state surgeon general, Dr. Joseph Ladapo, said at an online panel hosted by DeSantis on Wednesday.”
