“Who am I to tell you what your child should put in their body?”
Florida plans to become the first state to eliminate vaccine mandates for children.
Hallelujah. No one, except the parent, should have the power over what to inject your child with.
State Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo, who announced the decision Wednesday, said current requirements in schools and elsewhere as “immoral” intrusions on people’s rights that hamper parents’ ability to make health decisions for their children.

“People have a right to make their own decisions, informed decisions,” Ladapo, who has frequently clashed with the medical establishment, said at a news conference in Valrico. “They don’t have the right to tell you what to put in your body. Take it away from them.”

Florida surgeon general says state will eliminate all vaccine mandates
“Every last one of them is wrong and drips with disdain and slavery,” Dr. Joseph Ladapo said. “Who am I to tell you what your child should put in [their] body?”
By Minyvonne Burke, Sept. 3, 2025:
ADVERTISEMENTFlorida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo said Wednesday that the state will work to eliminate all vaccine mandates, a move that drew condemnation from public health experts.
“All of them. All of them,” Ladapo said during a news conference as the crowd stood and erupted in applause. “Every last one of them is wrong and drips with disdain and slavery.” He said the Florida Department of Health will work in partnership with the governor.
He said forcing vaccine mandates is “wrong” and “immoral.”
“Who am I as a government or anyone else, who am I as a man standing here now, to tell you what you should put in your body? Lapado said. “Who am I to tell you what your child should put in [their] body? I don’t have that right.”
Florida requires current vaccinations for students going to public school. Those requirements are outlined on the Florida Health website.
The state is not banning vaccinations.
“You want to put whatever different vaccines in your body, God bless you. I hope you make an informed decision,” Ladapo said. “You don’t want to put whatever vaccines in your body, God bless you. I hope you make an informed decision. That’s how it should be.”
ADVERTISEMENTDr. Robert Malone, whom Kennedy recently appointed to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s independent vaccine advisory committee, wrote on X that he had spoken with Ladapo on Tuesday, calling him “a measured scientist who is on fire to change the system for the better.” As a member of the advisory committee, Malone is instrumental in making recommendations to the CDC about who should get certain vaccines. He has been vocally critical of vaccines.
