Don’t go all Florida on us
Let’s hope Florida’s push to become the first state to remove school vaccine mandates doesn’t give the far right Tennessee legislature any ideas.
For 70 years, children’s vaccinations for various once common diseases have saved millions of lives, allowed children to stay in school and, in some cases, nearly eradicated once potentially deadly diseases.
Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo has called school vaccine mandates “immoral” intrusions that hamper parents’ ability to make health decisions for their children.
I believe parents should have the ability to make most all the decisions about what’s best for their children, but science has overwhelmingly proven the effectiveness of vaccines.
