US: Florida to abolish all vaccine mandates  DW  09/04/2025
"Every last one of them is wrong and drips with disdain and slavery,"
"people have a right to make their own decisions, informed decisions. Who am I, as a government or anyone else, to tell you what you should put in your body?"
"While there is still time, we urge Florida to reconsider this change to help prevent a rise of infectious disease outbreaks that put health and lives at risk,"
Florida plans to eliminate all vaccine mandates, including school vaccination requirements. State Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo labeled existing mandates "immoral" and said people have a right to make their own informed decisions about what goes in their bodies. The state Health Department can rescind some mandates directly, while other mandates would require legislative approval. No specific timeline or particular vaccines were named, but officials emphasized the goal of removing every mandate. Critics warn the move risks outbreaks of preventable diseases; Democratic representative Anna Eskamani called it reckless, and the American Medical Association urged reconsideration to avoid rising infectious disease.
