A department spokesperson confirmed Louisiana Surgeon General Ralph Abraham had ordered his staff to stop engaging in media campaigns and community health fairs to encourage vaccinations, even as the state has experienced a surge in influenza.
Abraham’s announcement occurred the same day vaccine skepticRobert F. Kennedy Jr. was sworn in by the U.S. Senate to serve as President Donald Trump’s health secretary.
In a separate letter posted on the department’s website, Louisiana’s surgeon general decried “blanket government mandates” for vaccines and criticized the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s COVID-19 vaccination push. Individuals should make their own decisions about vaccinations, Abraham said.
Ok, find me someone who’s life was actually ruined by the side effects of a common vaccine.
Im not here to change your mind. That is the point. You decide what you want to do, and so do i. The problem starts when you want to tell me what I need to do in my life, to my body, so you can feel good.
Just here to be an asshole then?
If giving my opinion means you think Im an asshole then yes.
But in real life, people have different opinions. I dont think it makes them assholes. I like new ideas, new ways of looking at things.
