Florida lawmaker seeks to end state’s vaccine mandate powers

wptv.com:
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — A state lawmaker wants to strip Florida of its ability to mandate vaccinations.

Rep. Anthony Sabatini, R-Clermont, filed a bill this week seeking that change in the upcoming legislative session.

“It’s just too much power for the government to have,” Sabatini said.

Current Florida law allows the state’s health officer to issue the mandates during health emergencies without exemption. The lawmaker proposes removing vaccinations from the law’s current language.

Sabatini, a believer of limited-government, said individual rights should take priority even amid deadly dangers like COVID-19.

“I believe in a free society where people make their own decisions,” he said. “I trust people more than I trust government.”

If approved, Sabatini’s bill would take effect in July. more
