The erosion of Vaccine confidence and Vaccine uptake, because of the undermining of evidence-based, lifesaving vaccination policy by HHS, FDA and CDC, has lethal consequences—> Hundreds Quarantined in South Carolina as Measles Spreads nytimes.com/2025/12/11/wel… via @NYTimes

Dangerous ideas. In my view he is not fit to be leading ACIP. nytimes.com/2026/01/23/hea…

These deaths need to be reviewed carefully before they are attributed to the COVID-19 vaccine. It is premature to make new policy.—->The FDA vaccine division director says the agency will be changing its approach for respiratory-illness vaccines. wsj.com/health/healthc…

Why vaccination of the community is critical to protect the vulnerable—->L.A. County child dies of rare measles complication years after infection washingtonpost.com/health/2025/09…

#5 Dear FL, Without vaccine mandates your communities will lose immunity. Naïve (unvaccinated) children will suffer, miss school, incur medical expenses. The immense cost-effectiveness of vaccines will be lost. Florida: don’t be naïve.

#4 Dear FL, Think of this: Without vaccine mandates, vacationers and retirees will decide to stop visiting and retiring in contagious Florida. Your economic metrics will fall as your infectious disease rates rise. Florida: please don’t be naïve, be vaccine-experienced, be safe.

Dear Alabama - please do not copy Florida,which is considering putting children’s lives at risk in exchange for political gain——>RFK Jr. allies claim momentum as Florida targets vaccines: ‘Fight is coming’ washingtonpost.com/health/2025/09…

Based on everything we heard yesterday and everything we’ve seen from him in the past couple months, it’s as clear as ever: RFK Jr. must resign or be fired.

#3 Dear FL, Without vaccine mandates and herd immunity, retirees in FL, with aging immune systems, will be at increased risk for disease and death from surging vaccine-preventable diseases. Our states’ older adults will no longer want to retire in dangerous FL. Love, NY, NJ & CT

#2 Dear FL, Without vaccine mandates, your vaccination rates will fall below the herd immunity thresholds for diseases. For example, measles is so highly contagious that 95% of people must be vaccinated to achieve herd immunity. FL vacations will become dangerous for us. Love, GA

#1 Dear Florida, Please do not do this. Do not be naïve. Think of this: We would not send a group of new and untrained firefighters out to battle against a blaze. Why would we send our children out into the world with untrained (naïve) immune systems? Firefighters need training .
