Florida surgeon general says state will eliminate vaccine mandates

Joseph Ladapo, the State Surgeon General of Florida, said that the state will work to eliminate all vaccine mandates, stating during a news conference that “Every last one of them is wrong and drips with disdain and slavery.” Florida currently requires current vaccinations for students going to public school, but Lapado said during the press event that the Florida Department of Health will work in partnership with the governor, adding: “Who am I to tell you what your child should put in (their) body? I don’t have that right.” Publicly traded companies in the vaccine space include Moderna (MRNA), Novavax (NVAX), BioNTech (BNTX), GSK (GSK), Pfizer (PFE) and Sanofi (SNY).
