Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo declared that all vaccine mandates in Florida, including those beyond COVID-19, will be terminated, prompting an enthusiastic response from the audience. In his statement, Ladapo emphasized personal autonomy, saying, "No one has the authority to dictate what you or your child must put in your body. Your body is sacred, and decisions about it are between you and your faith." He criticized vaccine mandates broadly, calling them fundamentally wrong and noting their prevalence in nearly every state.
