“Contempt and slavery”: Florida also wants to tip the vaccination for schools
Florida wants to abolish all state vaccination regulations, also for school children. Governor Ron Desantis supports the project. Other states react with an alliance.
The health authority of the US state Florida wants to abolish all state vaccination regulations. The demand also applies to vaccinations for the school attendance of children to date, said Joseph Ladapo on Wednesday.
“Each one of them is wrong and drips with contempt and slavery.” Ladapo received backing from Florida’s governor Ron Desantis when he announced. The Republican had made resistance to Covid 19 regulations a central point of his first term.
In all US states, there are vaccination regulations for attending public schools, with the exceptional regulations vary. According to official data, vaccination rates for several diseases such as measles, diphtheria and polio have dropped in kindergarten children in the USA in the school year 2024/25 compared to the previous year. The US health authority CDC published the new figures in July in the middle of an increasing measles outbreak. The number of confirmed cases has reached the highest level since the disease was considered eradicated in the United States in 2000.
Florida against the obligation to vaccinate – resistance in other states
Proponents and opponents for vaccination policy not only in Florida. In response to a controversial realignment at the national level, the US states of California, Oregon and Washington also announced the establishment of a health alliance on Wednesday. The “West Coast Health Alliance” will pronounce joint vaccination recommendations that are based on national medical associations, even if they deviate from the requirements at federal level.
“Disassembly of public health and the waiver of the use of science, data and facts endanger human life,” said Erica Pan, head of the California health authority.
The background is far-reaching changes to vaccination policy that US Minister of Health Robert F. Kennedy Jr. In June, for example, he released all members of the advisory vaccine committee ACIP and replaced them with hand -picked consultants, including vaccination opponents. Last week, the head of the CDC health authority, Susan Monarez, was also released in office after less than a month. This led to further resignations in the authority’s management team.
