Parental rights and public health go hand-in-hand. Parents make choices about their children’s nutrition, exercise, and educational habits every day—and these are far more important predictors of population health than vaccine mandates. Removing these mandates is good policy and we’re sticking to it.
Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo delivered a masterclass response to a lawyer challenging his decision to end four vaccine mandates.
Attorney Simone Chriss claimed it would have a “devastating impact.”
This was his response:
“I understand you’re not a clinician or a physician.”
“Did you say devastating impact?”
Chriss: “I did.”
Dr. Ladapo: “There are other states in this country that do not mandate three of the vaccines that we’re removing.”
“There are many, many countries that don’t mandate any vaccines.”
“Canada.”
“Australia.”
“Denmark.”
“Sweden.”
“The United Kingdom.”
“Many of these countries actually have life expectancies that are longer than this country has.”
“It’s actually sort of perverse to think that you could separate parental rights from public health.”
“Engaged parents are the reason that children eat healthier diets.”
“Engaged parents are the reason that children exercise.”
“Engaged parents are the reason that children go to school and learn, which is a huge predictor of future health.”
“This idea of a devastating impact, I mean, talk about not supported by evidence.”
Florida is refusing to back down from their plan to end mandates for Hep B, chickenpox, Hib, and pneumococcal shots.

Speaking for future generations, with the VACCINE Injured, in the state of Florida continue being ignored in the state of Florida and throughout the US. Three letter agencies ignore current and past administration, but especially in the state of Florida..
They think we will quietly fade away under bureaucratic stonewalling, but the record is permanent.
I stood directly before the Florida Department of Health and leadership to deliver actual notice. I am vaccine-injured, fighting for my life daily, and still producing circulating spike proteins verified by specialized testing I was forced to fund overseas because the three-letter agencies refuse to screen us.
Instead of launching real clinical investigations, the state of Florida and federal health agencies chose closed doors and a total blackout while our legal statutes of limitations are actively running out. They are running the clock, but this footage is permanent.

Proud to have stood with you for parental rights and medical freedom for the children of Florida, Dr. Ladapo!
Dr. Ladapo's smile at the end says it all - I did medical freedom proud 🙏
Below is my full speech at the Florida Department of Health's hearing to remove four of the required vaccines for school entry. Unfortunately, the FL DOH doesn't hold the authority to remove them all - the others require an act of Florida legislature. We do have both religious and medical exemptions here in Florida, which help protect some children. However, no one should require an exemption to decline a medical product.
I was so fired up because there were many comments from the pro-tyranny side in favor of usurping parents' God given rights to protect and direct their own children's medical care in deference to governmental force - including one father who exploited his young cancer survivor daughter for his agenda. That ignited a righteous anger in me.
However, as you will also hear in the clip - we had a mighty group there as well in defense of medical freedom, no mandates, and parental rights.
Thank you again to Florida's own freedom @FLSurgeonGen Dr. Joseph Ladapo, for standing up for the rights of Florida parents to direct and protect the medical decisions of their own children in the great state of Florida.
Thank you Dr. Ladapo for supporting a parent’s right to assess and choose what they inject into their child’s body.
@SimoneChrissEsq should have watched the 2018 deposition of one of the world’s leading vaccinologists BEFORE she got to that podium…

It’s always great to hear FACTS over FEAR driven opinions from @FLSurgeonGen . “Where there is risk there must be choice.” Why do we allow the vaccine manufacturers to remain liability free and as the consumer take on all the risks? We do not parent with the government!
So grateful for you @FLSurgeonGen. ❤️
It’s a great start! Hopefully, all vaccine mandates will be eliminated soon, and parents will truly be free from medical tyranny.

Thank you!
Please add baseline testing to be done prior to all vaccines. Add that to the VIS forms and package inserts.
V-Safe is AFTER vaccine monitoring, VIS forms are a piece of paper we know many families don’t even receive and then a lot don’t even read, and doctor patient discussions which per Jama is the average of 1 min. Now this.
Where are the vaccine safety measures that gather baseline tests so that families can refer back to the baseline for reference if there is an adverse reaction or side effect. We need to add this vaccine safety measure to the VIS forms and the package inserts.
A before and after vaccine test offered to families. Urine tests or bloodwork need to be offered to families. We need to encourage families to request baseline testing if they do decide to vaccinate. Get those tests done PRIOR to all vaccines. #braydensbill #baselinetestingpriortovaccines @SenRonJohnson #urinetestspriortovaccines

@ByronDonalds Dr Ladapo needs to stay in Florida!! Give him the job to keep fighting for us parents and kids. Healthy kids create a stable and BOOMING economy here in Florida. Keep the Marxists away from our families who want to force poison our children!

@FLSurgeonGen fully supports Florida’s Free Kill law that makes justice financially impossible in cases of fatal medical negligence so the costs can be shifted away from the wrongdoers and SOCIALIZED onto the American public.
He was present at the veto press conference in 2025, grinning from ear to ear, and talking about what a beautiful day it was just prior to the bill to end the law being vetoed.
I made choices to give birth naturally.
I made choices to co-sleep.
I made choices to drink raw dairy over heated/pasteurized dairy.
I made choices to have my kids play in the dirt, handle lots of animals.
I made choices to never use band-aids.
I made choices to avoid all antibiotics.
The State of FL would not have allowed me these choices if pediatricians made decisions for parents.
