DeSantis Signs 94 Laws, Vetoes 4 Others

There are a lot of vaccines they try to give children that are unnecessary for children to get.  I get not requiring those. 

But all the ones listed in that article are absolutely necessary.  People had 5-10 children before these vaccines because they knew half of them were going to die from the above illnesses.  Madness to go against that science.

your first sentence and the pendulum-swing overcorrection coming from the covid vaccine discussions in 2020 are what's getting the baby thrown out with the bath water here, in my opinion.

I would imagine forgoing basic health standards will not be part of the pitch to lure those ultra competitive corporate relocations to Florida.

Can't see how this won't ultimately hurt the state (and local) economy.

The number of employees taking off work to care for sick kids would go up significant.

Hospitals would need to add capacity.

Etc.

I can see both sides of most political arguments. There's no upside to being the sickest state.

I do think this would be another nudge to informed, engaged parents to move their kids to private schools, which won't be eliminating vaccination requirements.

But I digress.

I would think elderly retirees would also take into this into account.  Imagine going to the emergency room and waiting hours behind sick kids and their families and then finding out all the hospital rooms are taken due to local epidemics.  Plus, spreading these diseases to immune compromised elders.

I might add that many (most?) countries require certain vaccinations to travel to them.  And, colleges, camps, kids travel programs, etc.
I guess most Floridian's won't be welcome  .

Really?  Which ones?  Please tell us what diseases children are exempt from?  Seems to me that you are contributing to the madness...

No answer??? Not surprised because the answer... shockingly... is none.  I fully expect a nationwide measles and mumps outbreak this winter... the question is... who gets the award for diphtheria outbreak?  Polio?
