Florida Surgeon General Defies CDC Guidance During Measles Outbreak (healthday.com)
FRIDAY, Feb. 23, 2024 (HealthDay News) – Amid an outbreak of measles at a Florida elementary school, the state’s surgeon general has defied federal health guidance and told parents it’s up to them whether they want to keep their unvaccinated child home to avoid infection.
In a letter to parents of children attending Manatee Bay Elementary school in Weston, where six cases of measles have already been reported, Florida surgeon general Dr. Joseph Ladapo said the state health department “is surgeon general Dr. Joseph Ladapo said the state health department “is deferring to parents or guardians to make decisions about school attendance.”
That advice runs counter to what Ladapo acknowledged in his letter was the “normal” recommendation that parents keep unvaccinated children home for up to 21 days – the incubation period for measles.
This is not the first time that Ladapo has challenged health recommendations from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: Last month, he called for halting the use of COVID vaccines made by Pfizer and Moderna.

“Make no mistake: this is a direct result of the overturning of Roe v. Wade,” Biden said on Thursday. “I know that folks are worried about what they’re seeing happening to women all across America. I am too. I hear about it everywhere I go. My message is: The Vice President and I are fighting for your rights. We’re fighting for the freedom of women, for families, and for doctors who care for these women.”
He added that his administration won’t stop until it restores federal protections for reproductive rights.
It’s quite simple. The Presidential Records Act does allow the president to take possession of personal documents. It DOES NOT allow the president to classify official or classified documents as personal and then haul ass with them. Nuff said.
Tell me you’re an incel without telling me you’re an incel, Mr. Rufo.
Actually, the normal (and sane) recommendation is to get those unvaccinated children vaccinated NOW!
Pregnancy also causes lots of health problems for women . . . Speaking from experience
Trump is totally pathological. Why do we have to offer any more explanations.

For this reason, I believe it is imperative to root out all of Trumps high-ranking supporters in the Military. Trump will not hesitate to call for his military supporters to fight for him.
Waiting for Dean Phillips to tell us if he agrees with Nikki that those frozen cells in Alabama are people, too…
My world has been shaken. Rhonda said something that makes sense.
What, No measles party??? Sarc for those that don’t know me
Thank you for the Nick Cave link.
Shorter Ladapo: Sure send your kid to school. We’ll pretend it is your right to endanger. the life of your kid and the lives of other kids. My job is to defer to you not to tell you what I know about the natural history of measles.
Not going to quarantine any body except for the few expected to inhabit coffins for the foreseeable future. ( Wait …we don’t say that quiet bit outloud.)
The dildo of consequences is never lubricated.
