Back in May, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis captured the national spotlight when he signed FL SB 2006. Hailed as a hero by medical freedom advocates, the law banned Vaccine Passports and added certain restrictions on state and local governments during a declared public health emergency.
In the mass euphoria applauding DeSantis’ stand against the dystopia of Vaccine Passports, a little-known section of the same law received virtually no attention. It states that "If the individual poses a danger to the public health, the State Health Officer may subject the individual to isolation or quarantine, if there is no practical method to isolate or quarantine the individual, the State Health Officer may use ANY MEANS NECESSARY TO VACCINATE or treat the individual."
What authority does this confer upon state health officers? Another section includes "Ordering an individual to be examined, tested, vaccinated, treated, isolated, or quarantined for communicable diseases that have a significant morbidity or mortality and present a severe danger to public health." Upon refusal, the health officer could subject said individual to isolation or quarantine.
It’s important to acknowledge this language stems from a legacy bill, utilized as a template to craft SB 2006. Nonetheless, as it currently stands, Governor De Santis has stamped his approval to forcibly vaccinate Floridians in a declared public health crisis. Defend Florida is calling him to influence the legislature to correct this oversight.
