Nurses Out Loud

🚨 On January 12th Florida Senator Clay Yarborough filed SB 1756- known as the “Medical Freedom Bill.” This was the anticipated bill that would include the verbiage to propel Florida into its next steps in “ending ALL vaccine mandates.” However, on January 12th, 2026 when the bill was filed, there was no such verbiage to be found. In fact, it was removed entirely. The companion bill HB917 filed by House Representative Jeff Holcomb was also less than to be desired as it also did not have any “end all vaccine mandate” verbiage. @flgovrondesantis had a great opportunity to hold true to his word in his last term as governor and DID NOT. So what exactly does this mean for Floridians and beyond? - Tune in with @hold_thelineclnc and @jodiomalleyrn on January 23,2026 on @NursesOutLoud (no spaces) Podcast or on SubStack, Rumble where we break it down... #FloridaMandates #KeepFloridaFree #VaccineMandates #EndAlIVaccineMandates #playingpolitics

A nurse once noticed several patients experiencing similar reactions after treatment. At first she assumed it was a coincidence. But after documenting the pattern, it helped initiate further review. Careful observation is one of the most powerful tools nurses have. Jodi talks
