Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo delivered a masterclass response to a lawyer challenging his decision to end four vaccine mandates.
Attorney Simone Chriss claimed it would have a “devastating impact.”
This was his response:
“I understand you’re not a clinician or a physician.”
“Did you say devastating impact?”
Chriss: “I did.”
Dr. Ladapo: “There are other states in this country that do not mandate three of the vaccines that we’re removing.”
“There are many, many countries that don’t mandate any vaccines.”
“Canada.”
“Australia.”
“Denmark.”
“Sweden.”
“The United Kingdom.”
“Many of these countries actually have life expectancies that are longer than this country has.”
“It’s actually sort of perverse to think that you could separate parental rights from public health.”
“Engaged parents are the reason that children eat healthier diets.”
“Engaged parents are the reason that children exercise.”
“Engaged parents are the reason that children go to school and learn, which is a huge predictor of future health.”
“This idea of a devastating impact, I mean, talk about not supported by evidence.”
Florida is refusing to back down from their plan to end mandates for Hep B, chickenpox, Hib, and pneumococcal shots.

This was a wild read about Jared Kushner’s hacked phone and what was discovered within it. Everyone should be speaking about it.
Vanity Fair should remove it from behind a paywall.
