"Florida's surgeon general, Joseph Ladapo, has announced plans to end all state vaccine mandates, including for children to attend schools, likening the mandates to slavery. Every last one of them is wrong and drips with disdain and slavery, Ladapo said at a news conference in Tampa on Wednesday. Who am I as a government or anyone else, or who am I as a man standing here now to tell you what to do with your body?"
"Republican Governor Ron DeSantis also announced on Wednesday the creation of a state-level Make America Healthy Again commission modelled after similar initiatives pushed at the federal level by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr. The state Health Department, Ladapo said, can scrap its own rules for some vaccine mandates, but others would require action by the Florida Legislature. He did not specify any particular vaccines, but repeated several times that the effort would end all of them."

Governor Ron DeSantis announced a state-level Make America Healthy Again commission modeled after initiatives promoted by Robert F.
