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.

Fuck you and fuck your "freedom" Yes, that.

People like you are the reason why preventable diseases are making a reunion tour. Your comment shows that you (like all idiots like you) have no idea how vaccines work and why it's so important that we all take them.

As far as I'm concerned, there is exactly one single reason why you wouldn't vaccinate and that is because of proven medical issues like a weakened immune system, that would cause proven harm. Anyone else gets vaccinated, at this point at gun point for all I care.

Alternatively, we can send all of you idiots to an island without access to anything that science has given the rest of the world, and you can die in a cave, see if I care. Well quarantine the island and once all of you idiots have died off we'll burn it and then use it for something useful.

I'm so so so so so so done with arguing with idiots like you, picking and and chosing what parts of science you like and which not, arguing about your personal freedoms and whatnot, ignoring the reality that is right in your face.

I really do hope you die from some preventable disease.. Why? Because it will mean that there is one less idiot asshole to deal with and you'll serve as a nice reminder for the rest of the people why being an idiot is a bad idea (TM)

Ask the people with side effects

DID YOU? DID YOU DO A REAL FUCKING SURVEY? DID YOU AT LEAST READ PAPERS ON SAID SODE EFFECTS AND YHE RESEARCH DONE TO LIMIT SAID SIDE EFFECTS? HAVE YOU OR ARE UOU KUST REGURGITATING YOUR FACEBOOK POST WGERE YOU GOT THIS STUPIDITY FROM?

I'm so done with you people, so so done.
