"We are gravely concerned that American people will needlessly suffer and die as a result of policies that turn away from sound interventions. After careful consideration, we insist on Kennedy’s resignation to restore the integrity, credibility and science-driven mission of HHS and all its agencies"
Joint statement calling for Secretary Kennedy resignation

I do not think Fraiman will stand by this and the reason why is that the next speaker is Jay Bhattacharya saying those vaccines are safe and effective. Now, as NIH Director, he says we need more research into whether polio vaccines cause autism. I've seen this trajectory play out enough times.

In December 2022, Joseph Fraiman expressed his concerns that the doubt he was casting on Covid vaccines would lead to mistrust of pediatric vaccines, telling parents "these are safe."
He is now under consideration for RFK Jr's ACIP.
I do not expect him to stand by this now and stand up to RFK
Inside Medicine just broke the news that RFK jr. is again trying to pack the CDC’s vaccine committee with allies.
We need vetting on these people. They vote on legally binding national vaccine policy.
Read and contribute to the crowdsourcing!
Breaking: RFK Jr. seeks to rush 7 new members to CDC vaccine panel.
We have breaking news that I believe we are first to report here in Inside Medicine.

The Florida Health website still lists vaccine requirements for public school.
This stuff from Ladapo and DeSantis is outrageous and dangerous, but it's very important to note they haven't actually done anything yet.
Today happens to be the 2 year anniversary of Ron DeSantis launching a set of initiatives against Covid countermeasures to much fanfare (I remember vividly because it ruined my birthday). Worth checking in on how that turned out...

And I will also say: performative anti-public health stunts from Florida are nothing new. PHIC was created in one and hasn't met in 2 years. Did a few Zoom calls & that's it. The grand jury on vaccine crimes found nothing. And the autopsy review Ladapo announced to my knowledge never materialized.

NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya, ACIP Chair Martin Kulldorff, and ACIP Ex Officio Member from FDA Tracy Beth Hoeg are all still listed as serving on Florida's Public Health Integrity Committee, which is supposed to provide recommendations to the Florida Department of Public Health.
Florida surgeon general says state will eliminate all vaccine mandates
"Every last one of them is wrong and drips with disdain and slavery," Joseph Ladapo said. "Who am I to tell you what your child should put in [their] body?"

This is an outrage on every level, but to equate vaccine mandates to slavery is straight disinformation. Enslavers kept their enslaved people vulnerable to disease, refusing to inoculate or vaccinate them which led to catastrophic numbers of deaths in both the American Revolution and the Civil War.
Florida to end vaccine mandates for children as state’s surgeon general likens them to ‘slavery’
Joseph Ladapo, a long-time vaccine skeptic, says that every state vaccine requirement would be repealed
