TALLAHASSEE, Florida (LifeSiteNews) — The state of Florida will officially advise against giving experimental COVID-19 shots to healthy children, pushing back against advice from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) which calls for universal vaccination for all children ages five and up.
Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo, who heads up the state’s health department and has frequently challenged the prevailing narrative surrounding masking, lockdowns, and COVID jabs, announced the move during a roundtable event organized by Florida’s Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday.

“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 panel discussion, in which physicians and researchers discussed the widespread harms caused by COVID lockdowns and mandates throughout the U.S.
Dr. Ladapo, who earned his MD from Harvard Medical School and his PhD from Harvard University, criticized the advice of public health experts who recommend giving the experimental COVID drugs to healthy children.
“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 said.

Since November, the CDC has recommended that all children ages five and up, regardless of health profile, receive the jabs.
The recommendation comes in spite of the fact that children face extremely low risk from the virus. Furthermore, the efficacy of the jabs has been shown to wane significantly over time, and a growing body of data indicates the shots have contributed to hundreds of thousands of adverse events, including over 20,000 fatalities.
While Florida will be the first U.S. state to formally advise against COVID-19 vaccination for children, it’s not alone in doing so.
In January, Sweden’s Health Authority decided against recommending COVID-19 jabs for children between the ages of five and 11, citing “low risk of serious disease for kids” and no “clear benefit with vaccinating them.”
Joe Biden’s pick to replace the retiring Justice Stephen Breyer on the U.S. Supreme Court is abortion defender D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, the first black woman nominated to the nation's highest court ever.
By choosing Brown Jackson, Biden is fulfilling two campaign promises at the same time: first, to use every tool at his disposal to defend and promote the killing of the most innocent; and, second, to make the nation’s highest court more "diverse."
Of course, Biden could have achieved "diversity" by different means (and, as a "Catholic," he should have), but, as throughout the rest of tenure in office, he has chosen to pursue the deadly path of promoting abortion.
And, make no mistake: Planned Parenthood and NARAL are ecstatic about Brown Jackson.
SIGN and SHARE this petition which urges all U.S. Senators to reject abortion activist Brown Jackson's nomination to the Supreme Court.
Unlike most previous nominees to the Supreme Court, Brown Jackson has a judicial history of supporting abortion - which should be enough to cause Senators to reject her.
In the 1990s, she wrote an amicus brief defending a Massachusetts law that banned protests outside of abortion clinics. Thankfully, the law was ruled unconstitutional in 2000, but it shows how Brown Jackson intends to use the law to silence free speech so that the killing can continue without protest.
Pro-lifers are unanimous in their opposition to Brown Jackson, while the pro-abortionists are undivided in their zeal for her nomination.
SIGN and SHARE this petition which urges all U.S. Senators to reject abortion activist Brown Jackson's nomination to the Supreme Court.
Carrie Severino, president of the pro-life Judicial Crisis Network, warned of an imminent free speech threat, stating that in her "buffer-zone" amicus brief, Brown Jackson "repeatedly disparaged the peaceful and often prayerful clinic protesters as engaging in ‘in-your-face’ and ‘chaotic’ activity that somehow fell short of ‘pure speech.’"
And, Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the pro-life Susan B. Anthony List stated her organization's opposition to Brown Jackson's nomination, saying: "She is on record opposing the free speech rights of pro-life advocates pleading to save lives outside abortion centers and supporting the false claim that abortion is ‘health care.’"
But, the country's top abortion groups are celebrating Brown Jackson’s appointment.
Planned Parenthood CEO Alexis McGill Johnson wrote in a tweet addressed to Jackson: "We can’t wait to see the fantastic work you will do and will be here to support you along the way,"
And, NARAL Pro-Choice America President Mini Timmaraju agreed.
"Judge Jackson … has a demonstrated record of defending and upholding our constitutional rights and fundamental freedoms — including reproductive freedom," Timmaraju said. "We are confident that she will be a voice for justice, equity, and freedom on the Court in the decades to come."
Thank you for SIGNING and SHARING this petition which urges all U.S. Senators to reject abortion activist Brown Jackson's nomination to the Supreme Court.

Meanwhile, Florida’s decision to buck CDC guidance is consistent with the policies pursued by the Republican-led state throughout the coronavirus pandemic.
While nearly every other state enacted lockdowns, mask mandates, and coercive jab policies, Gov. DeSantis actively worked to defend individual liberty against the incursions of what the governor termed a “biomedical security state.”
DeSantis’ actions, including a formal ban on school mask mandates, a prohibition against vaccine passports, and a commitment to reject lockdown strategies, have endeared him to many Republicans who see him as a strong contender for the U.S. presidency in 2024.
In his comments Monday, Dr. Ladapo did not elaborate on when the official guidance from the Florida Department of Health will be released.
