00:00Florida's Surgeon General announced the state's plan to eliminate all vaccine mandates, including
00:05those required for schoolchildren. If implemented, Florida would become the first U.S. state to fully
00:10withdraw from vaccine requirements, raising concerns about increased vulnerability to
00:15preventable diseases like measles and polio. The Surgeon General compared mandates to slavery and
00:21reiterated his opposition, despite long-standing evidence of the public health benefits of vaccines.
00:26The decision aligns with broader anti-vaccine shifts in U.S. politics, including efforts by
00:32federal figures like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to dismantle national immunization infrastructure.
