The media has largely ignored the fact that the White House lied about Florida's changed vaccine policy, according to the governor.
The Republican was in a town north of Jacksonville when he was asked about the vaccine debate and comments from the Biden administration that he had changed his mind.
The White House isn't telling the truth. "Not surprised the White House would lie, definitely not surprised thatlegacy media would amplify the lie, because that's what they do." The state of Florida came out with an article stating that the Department of Health has not ordered the vaccine for babies. We didn't We think it's against the law.
He said that they wouldn't have any programs where they tried to jab 6-month-old babies. It's just the reality. They thought we'd be embarrassed about it.
The official says that millions of shots have been ordered for children.
The White House Press Secretary told reporters on Friday that Florida had reversed course and was allowing health care providers to order the vaccine for children under six months of age.
She said that they would pull every lever to get children in Florida vaccines as quickly as possible. "This is an encouraging first step, and we urge the state to order vaccines for its state and local health departments so that all Florida parents have the chance to get their children vaccine."
Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo disagreed with the FDA's decision to give COVID vaccines to children under the age of five.
The state wouldn't be ordering any vaccine for children.
He said that they would not order it. We reversed because practitioners and hospitals are able to order it. I knew we would be able to do that. I would caution people to look at the data in the clinical trial if they wanted to make a different decision.
