Their surgeon general is something else
Wow! This should be illegal. The claims are barely or not at all supported by the citations.
At best the SG is uneducated and mislead or actively malicious at worst. Most likely, I would guess this is politically motivated due to the upcoming election.
Is this like an official government department?
Yes, it is an official government website (ends in .gov) and that is some prime antivaxx bullshit aimed to discourage people from getting vaccinated.
This is actively malicous and will result in more deaths and people suffering from long term covid. I hope that there is a method for suing to get that pulled down and action taken against whoever had it put there as public health officials discouraging safe and effective practices should be illegal.
If that’s the case, this is some scary shit. Who’s responsible for approving this? It s probably newsworthy that an official government body would put this up as guidance.
Joseph Ladapo was handpicked by the governer during covid. The governor was fully aware of his views, and was chosen on purpose.
His policys from ending school quarantines to sending kids to school with measles, have been widely publicized. He even has been caught altering covid vaccine data to fit his narrative. The CDC even rebuked him in a letter .
Despite being found altering data, he was confirmed for a second term.
What a collection of awfulness… thank you.
No problem. Its hard to believe that people like this can hold office, and not get removed. But, freedum.
The current governor, Ron Desantis (if your familiar with him, it may explain a lot) has hit his term limit and cannot be reelected, but he won by a landslide last time, although, his opponent was considered to just be a poor candidate.
Well see how Floridians feel about it in 2026, I guess. Theres not much that can done now.

I’m sad that children will be harmed by this but I sure hope their retirement community that marched for Trump and included a guy that said “white power” to a camera is reading and following instructions. In fact, let’s pass out flyers.
I hope they don’t, and get vaccinated instead, because not getting a shit becausebof this misinformation will increase the overall spread.
“Florida department of health” needs to be in quotes.
Florida department of “Health”.
If we want to get technical, I assume the “dept” part is also a delusion.
No way these goons can maintain the typical function of a basic office environment. I bet you half the time employees get there in the morning and nobody has unlocked the door and nobody has a key, water cooler has been empty for 8 months and the power just went off because the person that was supposed to pay that bill was arrested last week after being caught with an underage rape victim that they “mentor” in bible study… Again.
“Health” Points
I thought these wete inflammatory and over the top comments.
NOPE
Its legit antivax stuff
Why can’t my state be normal?
Are people still doing boosters?
Unless you live in the wilderness.
Just like people have always been getting Flu boosters, yes
Do people? I don’t know.
Should we? Definitely (CDC).
Yes the boosters are still being offered and people who care about catching or transmiting covid are getting them. If you are interested the current crop of boosters includes the most recent major variant that has been causing the spike. If you don’t have insurance your state or local government should have an access program if you want a booster.
Thank you for an informative and non-snarky answer.
Only the smart people
Yes, and updated boosters recently came out in the United States. Got my booster 2 weeks ago and it went smoothly.
Only the vulnerable and elderly are being offered a booster in the UK 😞
That will sure strengthen their immune systems. They should get shots every day.
Yes. Unfortunately the optimal timing is different from flu so you should probably go twice rather than get both at once
Do you have a source on that? I asked about this recently when I got mine and was told there was no issue with getting both at once

You’re not even the user I asked, but thanks for the drive-by insult I suppose.

If you had anything useful to contribute I wouldn’t think twice about it, but you’re clearly just trying to pick a fight.
I dunno what you’re going through that’s got you in that mood, but I hope it clears up soon.
Yes, there is no issue getting both at once, and it’s probably useless to try to time each for peak effectiveness. Nevertheless, I believe peak effectiveness for flu shot is about a month earlier than peak effectiveness for COViD
I’m happy to be a bit suboptimal and get vaccinated when convenient. I got my flu shot a week before school came back in session and my COVID shot a week later, because that’s when the new booster came out where I am. I’d have been happy to get them at the same time because better something suboptimal than nothing because you forgot or got busy.
This is the way
We got our booster, along with the flu shot, yesterday!
I guess makes same sense as vaccinating against ever-changing flu
Yes
