Florida to Drop Vaccine Requirements: Expert Warns of Resurging Diseases
Florida plans to remove state vaccine requirements, including for school children. This decision has sparked concern from immunology experts, who warn of the potential return of previously eradicated diseases.
“It’s absolutely horrible. You will suddenly be able to have children dying from diseases we thought was extinct,” says immunology professor gunnveig Grødeland.
Grødeland recently discussed the controversial decision on TV2’s “News Company,” expressing fears that the move could have global consequences, including impacting norway. She emphasizes that vaccines are a crucial defense against deadly, yet preventable, diseases.
The move was announced this week by Florida Health Director Joseph Ladapo.## Florida will remove all state vaccine requirements – also in school

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said Wednesday he will create a commission to change Florida’s health policies to match those of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The commission will also give advice on new laws. The state legislature will meet again in January.
Health Director Lapado explained the idea that getting vaccinated is a personal choice.
“Why should I, as a government official, or anyone else, tell you what to do with your body?” he asked at a press conference in Tampa.
