It's rare that I have a good word to say for Donald Trump, but this is one time that I do.

 

Florida vaccine mandate rollback falters after Trump criticism

It took barely two days, and some huffs of disapproval from the White House, before Joseph Ladapo’s bold plan to eliminate all vaccine mandates in Florida began to deflate.

The action, the fervently religious state surgeon general had asserted at a fire and brimstone press conference in Tampa, came straight from the heavens: “Who am I, as a man standing here now, to tell you what you should put in your body?” he opined, framing the freedom to reject vaccines as a “reflection of God’s light against the darkness of tyranny and oppression”.

Mandates were akin to “slavery”, he said, in comments presumably intended to align with the ongoing anti-vaccination campaign of misinformation and myth of the health secretary, Robert F Kennedy.

So why the heck did Trump hire RFK in the first place? So we could surrender bodily autonomy to big Pharma? He shouldn't have poked his nose into Florida's business.

It’s simple really,they were receiving massive blowback for Florida's stupidity so trump had his little pet pull the plug.rest assured it wasn’t done out of some enlightened concern for Floridians naa it was the politicaly expedient thing to do.remember we are dealing with the man that wouldn't wear a mask during a pandemic that was killing  THOUSANDS of Americans EVERY DAY because it would smear his makeup!!
