TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo said Monday that the state will formally recommend against COVID-19 vaccinations for healthy children.

Ladapo made the announcement at a roundtable event organized by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis that featured a group of doctors who criticized coronavirus lockdowns and mandate policies. It was not immediately clear when the state would release its health guidance.
“The Florida Department of Health is going to be the first state to officially recommend against the COVID-19 vaccines for healthy children,” Ladapo said at the end of the roundtable discussion.
“We’re kind of scraping at the bottom of the barrel, particularly with healthy kids, in terms of actually being able to quantify with any accuracy and any confidence the even potential of benefit,” he added.
Late last month, Ladapo and DeSantis announced new virus policy recommendations that discouraged mask-wearing and directed physicians to exercise their own judgment when treating virus patients, including the use of emerging treatments and off-label medications.
The Florida state Senate confirmed Ladapo as surgeon general despite criticism that his virus health policy is too aligned with the anti-lockdown and mandate politics of DeSantis.
Makes sense. Kids are at such low risk even less than the flu. Why would you inject this junk onto your kids? They will physically get sick for 3 days after each jab like I did. Why inflict such pian when the risks are so low?
It’s child abuse to give to kids!
A guy who was appointed for his politics and not his expertise in medicine is saying what he was appointed to say.
next, recommendations for adults too. No good from these injections only dollars for Faucci & Gates
I have no problem with this. As long as the situation doesn’t deteriorate.
I’m going to vaccinate all my kids again this week in FL for their third shot. They did fine with the first two and I still don’t want them to get covid and they never have gotten covid.
