Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo said he doesn't need to study the potential impact of ending vaccine mandates for children before his state becomes the first to do so in 45 years.
"We do have outbreaks in Florida, just like every state, and we manage those," Ladapo told host Jake Tapper on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sept. 7. "So there are no new, special, you know, special procedures that need to be made."

Tapper asked Ladapo specifically why providing health and religious exemptions to general vaccine mandates wasn't enough to satisfy concerns.
"It's really about ethics," Ladapo said. "You have sovereignty over your body, and that's that."

(45,484 posts)These smart asses dont realize that its those of us who chose to be vaccinated out of a civic duty are keeping them from being sick because of their stupid personal choice. And there is an ethical consideration here. But its not what they think it is. The question is, is it ethically acceptable to spread diseases that could be prevented?
