Florida’s Surgeon General Speaks Out
At a recent press conference, Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo announced that the state will work to eliminate all vaccine mandates, calling them “wrong” and “immoral.” His words received strong applause as he emphasized that government should not dictate what individuals—or their children—must put into their bodies.
“Who am I as a government or anyone else… to tell you what you should put in your body? Who am I to tell you what your child should put in their body? I don’t have that right.” – Joseph Ladapo, Florida Surgeon General
While Ladapo’s comments focused on vaccine mandates, it’s important to note that Florida is not banning vaccines. Families still have access to them, and school entry requirements remain in place unless the legislature takes further action.
Why This Matters for Parents
Whether families choose to vaccinate or not, this conversation highlights something deeper: the right to informed choice in healthcare.
For many parents, vaccine decisions feel overwhelming. Conflicting information, school requirements, and societal pressures can all create stress. Florida’s renewed focus on eliminating mandates may open the door for parents to feel more empowered in their decisions.
At Pinnacle Chiropractic, we believe that every family deserves the ability to:
- Make healthcare decisions without coercion.
- Access clear information to guide choices.
- Support their child’s health naturally, in a way that aligns with their family values.
Nervous System Health: A Core Foundation
Regardless of where families stand on vaccinations, one principle unites us all: a child’s nervous system is the foundation of their health.
At Pinnacle Chiropractic, we:
- Use INSiGHT scans to measure stress and tension in the nervous system.
- Provide gentle, safe adjustments for infants, children, and moms.
- Help the body regulate naturally, boosting resilience and overall function.
When the nervous system is calm and connected, children are better able to:
- Sleep soundly.
- Digest and grow efficiently.
- Adapt to stress.
- Build strong immunity.
That’s why we focus on giving families hope and support from the inside out—so no matter what health choices they make, their child’s body is better prepared to thrive.
The Bigger Picture
Discussions about vaccine mandates often spark strong emotions. But behind the debate is a shared goal: healthy kids and empowered parents.
As Florida reconsiders its approach to mandates, our message at Pinnacle remains the same:
- Parents deserve informed choice.
- Children deserve natural, nervous system–based care.
- Families deserve to feel supported, not pressured.
