Florida is set to become the first state to eliminate all vaccine mandates, including those for schoolchildren, sparking a heated debate among politicians, health officials, and the public. Governor Ron DeSantis, alongside Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo, announced plans to phase out mandatory vaccinations, arguing for personal choice. Critics, including President Trump and various medical experts, have voiced concerns over the potential health risks of such a move, warning of increased disease outbreaks. As momentum builds among anti-vaccine advocates, the repercussions of this decision are closely watched not just in Florida, but across the United States and beyond.
