Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo delivered a masterclass response to a lawyer challenging his decision to end four vaccine mandates. Attorney Simone Chriss claimed it would have a “devastating impact.” This was his response: “I understand you’re not a clinician or a physician.” “Did you say devastating impact?” Chriss: “I did.” Dr. Ladapo: “There are other states in this country that do not mandate three of the vaccines that we’re removing.” “There are many, many countries that don’t mandate any vaccines.” “Canada.” “Australia.” “Denmark.” “Sweden.” “The United Kingdom.” “Many of these countries actually have life expectancies that are longer than this country has.” “It’s actually sort of perverse to think that you could separate parental rights from public health.” “Engaged parents are the reason that children eat healthier diets.” “Engaged parents are the reason that children exercise.” “Engaged parents are the reason that children go to school and learn, which is a huge predictor of future health.” “This idea of a devastating impact, I mean, talk about not supported by evidence.” Florida is refusing to back down from their plan to end mandates for Hep B, chickenpox, Hib, and pneumococcal shots. @FLSurgeonGen @HealthyFla

This mom just walked into a Florida health department hearing and declared: “We do not co-parent with the government.” “This … is not about whether one is for or against vaccines.” “It’s about medical freedom.” “And … informed consent.” Tara Hill is the “proud mother of four completely vaccine-free children, ages 21 and under, who are all healthy and thriving.” “They would be part of the control group in the vaccinated vs. unvaccinated study that the government will not perform.” “Because Big Pharma and their lobbyists won’t let them.” “If they did, they would know that unvaccinated children are healthier.” “Florida’s own Parental Bill of Rights explicitly reads that the state may not infringe upon the fundamental rights of a parent to direct the education or the health care of their children.” “Vaccine mandates for school entry violate both of those rights.” “And essentially force parents to defer their God-given authority to the state.” “I stand with Surgeon General Dr. Ladapo and all liberty-minded parents here today in the effort to eliminate vaccine mandates.” @FLSurgeonGen @HealthyFla

Senator Ron Johnson just revealed the numbers that prove Covid obliterated trust in “the experts.” “Trust in doctors was 71% before the pandemic.” “Now it’s like 41%.” “Once your eyes are open, it’s pretty hard to close them.” “But … they’ve got injections already for all these things.” “The plague.” “Hantavirus.” “Monkeypox.” “Bird flu.” “They’re just looking for credibility to do it all over again.” @SenRonJohnson @MalcolmOutLoud

Joe Rogan just nailed the biggest absurdity of Covid that permanently destroyed trust in “the experts.” We were told to trust “massive, multi-billion dollar corporations that have the highest criminal fines in all of human history.” But it went even deeper than that. The whole pandemic was caused by “the science” we were being told to trust. “Gain of function’s not doing anything good for us.” @joerogan @jimmycarr

Leslie Manookian spent 25 years fighting medical mandates in Idaho. And she won. In 2025, Idaho outlawed almost all mandates. Including vaccines. Leslie just revealed her playbook for beating the system. Whether it’s mandates, Flock cameras, or data centers. Bookmark this. Her playbook follows one golden rule: “Get involved at your local level.” “People in communities all over … are pushing back and getting their communities to get rid of Flock cameras.” “I didn’t get the Idaho Medical Freedom Act passed overnight.” “I have been advocating in my state for 15 years.” “I have a reputation.” “That combined with the Covid overreach actually created the ripe terrain for the legislature to act.” “You have to show up at your city council meeting.” “Stand up and say something.” “Then, other people will be empowered.” “Gather some friends together at your house.” “Bring in speakers to talk about important issues and start educating your community.” “Start pushing back against school mandates.” “Do something that holds local authority and power structures accountable.” “We’re powerless if we don’t do anything.” “Are you going to win tomorrow?” “No.” “But I think we’ll win.” @LeslieManookian @Adriandamico

Parental rights and public health go hand-in-hand. Parents make choices about their children’s nutrition, exercise, and educational habits every day—and these are far more important predictors of population health than vaccine mandates. Removing these mandates is good policy and we’re sticking to it.

This pediatrician privately confessed the real reason why 99% of doctors will never question vaccines. Michael Gaeta was giving a seminar on vaccines. Then, one pediatrician approached him and dropped a bombshell. This is what he said: “70 to 80% of our practice income comes from vaccines.” “If we stop vaccinating, we basically don’t have a practice anymore.” “I’ve been practicing pediatrics for 25 years.” “I agree with everything you’ve said.” Then, he walked away from pediatrics. Michael Gaeta: “I’ve been lecturing on vaccines for decades.” “I hear the same thing.” “Everybody knows that vaccines are safe, effective, and necessary.” “You’ve got this … herd mentality.” “Which is separate from evidence.” “I’ve had many conversations with parents over the years who have to summon some courage to ask questions.” “We have a strong financial incentive to believe what we’re told about the vaccine program being safe, effective, and necessary.” @GaetaInstitute @BrianHookerPhD @ChildrensHD

Aaron Siri: “If you can’t go to school … ” “You can’t get a job … ” “You can’t leave your home … ” “And you can’t go to church without getting a medical product you don’t want … ” “Then you don’t really have any rights.” “No more mandates.” “In Florida … they’re going to remove mandates.” “God bless their Surgeon General and their Governor.” “We need to actually respect the right to informed consent.” “We’ve got to get rid of the immunity to liability for these products.” “We’ve got to get government out of the business of vaccines.” “If they don’t fight back now against government overreach, they might be too late.” “I consider the right to informed consent and the right to say no without any coercion a fundamental right.” @AaronSiriSG @FLSurgeonGen @maryhollandnyc @ChildrensHD

Senator Ron Johnson is refusing to back down from his fight for a “Covid reckoning.” “People just want to move on.” “They want to forget the way they were taken in by this monster named Anthony Fauci.” “They don’t want to think how easily they were cowed into following these absurd responses.” “Masking little children.” “You have to wear a mask walking into the restaurant, but then you can take it off.” “You have to close down churches, but not liquor stores.” “This is so absurd.” “Nobody even wants to think back and go: we went along with that, huh?” @SenRonJohnson @MalcolmOutLoud

This 23-year-old just exposed a massive conspiracy by the FDA and Eli Lilly to cover up the truth about SSRIs. “People have been screaming into the void about this.” “People have ended their lives.” “No one’s listening to us.” Bookmark this. Lauren Friedman revealed that Zoloft left her permanently unable to feel love, emotional connection, or sexual pleasure. And she is far from alone. “There has been seemingly an intentional cover-up by pharmaceutical industry.” “Prozac … was interfering with normal sexual development for kids who were prescribed these at a young age.” European regulators reported this to Eli Lilly. “Eli Lilly responded … ‘We will run clinical trials to see if this is true or not, we just need approval of the drug first in childhood use.’” “They approved it.” “The tests were never done.” “And then just still gave it to children.” “The FDA has known about this for decades.” “Senator Chuck Grassley … wrote to the FDA.” “The FDA responded and said that there isn’t sufficient evidence to suggest that this is because of the SSRI.” “In 2018 … there was a petition that was submitted to the FDA begging the FDA to add this to labels.” “The FDA, they were supposed to respond in … 180 days.” “They never did.” “2024, there was a lawsuit against the FDA for ignoring this.” “They threw it out on a technicality.” “One of the really sad parts about this is a lot of the young people who signed the petition in 2018 went on to kill themselves.” “A young woman … wrote a really heartfelt note to the FDA saying, ‘I feel like my human rights have been violated.’” “‘I can no longer feel joy or love, have sex.’” “‘My life has been destroyed.’” “She ended up killing herself shortly after.” “It should be pretty obvious that living without the ability to feel pleasure sexually and emotionally, or feel love, is unlivable.” “We’re put on Earth to experience love and connection.” “No one’s looking into this.” “For me, had the label been updated in 2018, I would have never taken it.” “I took it in 2022.” @lololizzle @theisabelb

This grandmother just delivered a heartfelt plea for Florida to end vaccine mandates for her newborn granddaughter. “I’m vaccine injured.” “And fighting for my life daily.” “I want these children to have a life better than I’m having right now.” “Please do not do this to … these children.” Michelle Utter’s granddaughter was born just two days before her testimony. “I want my granddaughter not to be mandated to have shots.” “I want my own children to make decisions for my grandchildren.” “To live a life like I do, five hours a week on infusions, not knowing the outcome, it’s unbearable.” “Everyone says that I’m rare.” “That I don’t exist.” “But I do.” “Nobody should feel like they don’t exist.” “I’m more than political.” “I have a life and I have children.” “I want to be heard and seen.” “And I cannot fathom the idea how other children can live the pain and suffering that I do.” @FLSurgeonGen @HealthyFla

Senator Ron Johnson was done with politics. He never wanted to run for a third term. Then, Covid happened. “Nobody else was advocating for the injection injured.” “Nobody.” “I couldn’t turn my back on them.” “Brianne Dressen.” “Maddie de Garay.” “Brianne Dressen was part of the AstraZeneca trial.” “Maddie de Garay was part of the adolescent trial for Pfizer.” “These pharma companies abandoned them.” “All these people wanted was to be seen, heard, and believed, so they could get treatment.” @SenRonJohnson @MalcolmOutLoud @React19org

Senator Rand Paul is refusing to back down from his Covid “conspiracy theories.” And he brought the receipts that the media never wanted you to know. “They lied.” “There actually are real, measurable risks for children with the Covid vaccine.” “They just … want you to submit.” “It’s a theology.” “Not science.” “They said the vaccine should go all the way down to six months of age.” “What did the statistics show?” “They admitted that it doesn’t stop contagion.” “They said, for certain age groups, 65 and older, it reduced hospitalization and death.” “What about for your 12-year-old?” “They couldn’t prove it because the control group had no hospitalizations and no deaths.” “If you have zero hospitalization deaths, how are you telling me my kid’s any better off taking it?” @SenRandPaul

BREAKING: Rep. Thomas Massie just co-sponsored a bombshell anti-censorship bill. Bookmark this. The GRANITE Act does 3 things: First, it creates a shield against foreign censorship. US courts will not enforce foreign fines or orders that punish free speech. Second, it gives Americans the right to sue foreign regulators in federal court to have their censorship demand legally voided. Third, it covers how censorship happens in the digital age. It will include a regulator’s letter and administrative fines, not just court rulings. This bill would protect Americans’ right to free speech from foreign lawfare that violates our First Amendment. @restorethe1st @RepThomasMassie

“I just had the most inspirational experience … ” Take 3 minutes to hear this incredible moment Leslie Manookian just had in an Uber. “Driving to the airport … my Uber driver was 28 years old.” “His mother passed away last year.” “His father is 61 years old.” “He is overweight and unhealthy.” “The doctor told him his cholesterol was elevated, and wanted to put him on a statin for the rest of his life.” “And this young man said to his dad: just cut out the fake coffee creamer, the seed oil-based coffee creamer that you’re eating, and see what happens.” “He did it.” “And he dropped a bunch of weight, and his cholesterol numbers got better.” “This young man was switched on to what’s going on in the world.” “And couldn’t understand why all these people around him in DC are clueless about what’s going on.” “I tried to explain to him that the people who are the most brainwashed are the most educated.” “But he gives me hope.” “Because he was questioning everything.” “I know so many of us who are a little bit older and in the health freedom movement are concerned about the future.” “But I think young men like this really, really make me feel that there’s serious promise for the future.” “My message to everybody is that you and you alone are responsible for your health and well-being.” “No one else can go out and get light in their eyes every morning.” “No one else can go for a walk or go to the gym.” “No one else can meditate or pray and be quiet.” “No one else can nourish their body with good food.” “It’s up to you.” “Government isn’t going to fix this for you.” @LeslieManookian

This Florida pharmacist just said the quiet part out loud. “There’s something very wrong when a pharmacist’s bonus is based solely on reaching vaccine sales goals.” “There is an immense pressure … on pharmacists to push vaccinations.” “We’re tasked with pushing vaccines on patients that may or may not even need them.” Betsy Rice told a Florida Department of Health hearing that vaccination “has absolutely nothing to do with patient wellness outcomes.” “When I attended pharmacy school in the mid-90s, I was given minimal education on vaccinations.” “When I graduated in 2000, pharmacists were not administering vaccinations.” “Fast forward to today, and pharmacists are routinely administering vaccinations in the retail setting.” “Pharmacists are being given financial incentive to push vaccines by basing their bonus solely on vaccine sales goals.” “This is a complete conflict of interest.” “And goes against everything I went to pharmacy school for.” “I have to wonder where the financial incentive is coming from.” @FLSurgeonGen @HealthyFla

Aaron Siri is taking the fight to restore school vaccine exemptions to the Supreme Court. He already won a lawsuit to restore exemptions in Mississippi. And he’s fighting in 3 of the 5 states that refuse religious exemptions: “New York.” “California.” “West Virginia.” Siri just sat down with Dr. Brian Thornburg to break down the state of the fight for vaccine mandate exemptions. Dr. Thornburg: “There’s certain states you can’t obtain a philosophical … or religious exemption.” Siri: “Cali.” “New York.” “Connecticut.” “Maine.” “West Virginia … you can go to certain schools.” “California, it needs to be reviewed by the health department.” “Forget it.” “It’s ridiculous.” Dr. Thornburg: “Somebody told me … that they’re getting a go-around through an American Disabilities Act.” “If you have asthma, something that’s longer than 6 months in duration, that is considered a chronic disability, which then falls under the ADA.” “There’s a lawsuit there in California at the federal level.” “If they win … for students who don’t want to vaccinate and have asthma or eczema or ADHD or some kind of long or 6-month+ condition, they can then obtain an ADA exemption.” “But these medical students that come through my office … said, I had to take the Covid shot just to go to medical school, but I didn’t want to.” “Every single student has said that.” Siri: “We get medical students exemptions all the time.” “We’ve got a whole vaccine exemption practice.” “It’s just the public schools that are a problem right now.” “We’re hoping to address this issue.” “In little pieces … ” @AaronSiriSG @ThornburgDr
