As Twitchy reported Monday, Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo raised some feathers by suggesting that your healthy 5-year-old might not need to be vaccinated against the coronavirus. White House Press Secretary Jenn Psaki said in her press briefing that Ladapo was “peddling conspiracy theories.” (Those who opposed school mask mandates were also branded conspiracy theorists, but where have all of the mask mandates gone?) Gubernatorial hopeful Charlie Crist called Ladapo a “dangerous quack,” and Montel Williams called him a “circus clown.”
CNN had medical analyst Dr. Jonathan Reiner on as a guest Wednesday, and he continued the pile-on by calling Ladapo “disgraceful,” “discredited,” and an embarrassment. Reiner declared that every child in the country should take the coronavirus vaccine — something to think about as they work on that vaccine for children six months to four years old. Should a child who’s already had COVID-19 be vaccinated? Apparently so.
CNN’s @JReinerMD: "Florida has a disgraceful surgeon general … Every child in this country should be vaccinated for Coronavirus … The surgeon general of Florida has been anti-mask, anti-vax. He’s been discredited. It’s an embarrassment.” pic.twitter.com/t0pU5HUGJS

No, children do fine without the vaccination. These experiments have gone on long enough.

The FDA hasn't even approved it for kids and he is saying that every child should get it. Weird.

"Every" used in a sentence about medical care is a red flag.

Yo man, don’t know if you’ve realized or not, but the vax doesn’t stop you from getting the virus. Also, the number of children that have died from coronavirus is almost zero, you’re referring to those that died WITH the virus but had serious existing medical conditions.

Don’t exaggerate. The death rate for 18-under is .000098.
That’s almost one child per country.
Devastating.

Here's the problem, several countries are not pushing to vaccinate their youths and even the WHO, as compromised as they are, does not recommend the vaccine for kids.

So the countries in Europe who only vaccinate children who are at high risk are also discredited? 🤔🤔🤔

Wait until he finds out what the UK and Scandinavian countries are doing

This recommendation for every child isn't based in the science. Not at all.

Shit take. There's no reason for healthy kids to get vaccinated. FDA data even shows us that the risks outweigh the benefits. pic.twitter.com/RsZ2jxQNbz

Screenshot and bookmarked: This will be entered as evidence against @JReinerMD in his future trials.

Pushing the vaccine on kids has become just a virtue signal. Equivalent to woke parents slapping a "coexist" sticker on their backpacks.

Their complete disregard for the continent of Europe and how their vaccination guidelines are largely the same as Florida’s is a total embarrassment. These people are political activists, nothing more.

Hey @jaketapper – did you mention the well-known data that kids are at low risk and are not significant spreaders?

This dude is stumbling and fumbling his way through this. Another TV talking head who’s full of shit.
— Drew Hawk (@WeGotOneBich) March 9, 2022
As people have said above, what does Reiner have to say about all of the European countries that also don’t advise healthy children to be vaccinated?
