Florida’s surgeon general said the state will recommend against children getting vaccinated against Covid-19, the first state to do so, striking against federal public health guidelines and an urgency to combat infections and severe disease during the ongoing pandemic.
Days after his spurious claim that wearing masks to curb infections is “a lie” and “prop” during the public health crisis, newly confirmed surgeon general Joseph Ladapo announced on 7 March that “the Florida Department of Health is going to be the first state to officially recommend against Covid-19 vaccines in healthy children.”
