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.
In my society, it was a choice to vaccinate.
In my society nobody chose to be unvaccinated, because many of them had friends or family who gotten polio and died or was crippled.
Back then it was also manditory. Nurses came to the schools and you got vaccinated, no questions asked.
I know. To me it always seemed like the wrong choice to force it on people.
Then you never had a friend or relative that paid with their lives because some other twat didn’t get vaccinated.
If you are vaccinated, you are in theory protected against that decease, and it doesnt matter if others are not.
How about those people who can’t get vaccinated because they’re allergic, or they’re sick, or they’re too young? You put them at risk because you want them to get sick instead.
You and your selfishness can just go away.
Yes, i care about my own health more than strangers health, thats correct.
I also take a car to work despite it polluting the environment, because im not willing to suffer public transport two times per day.
