| One other area that I'm very interested in, and I know a lot of moms in Florida are very interested in, and I also know the governor is very interested in, is this denial of medical care because of people's vaccination choices. | |
| Stepping back for a moment, I mean, it's a really repulsive policy stance. | |
| It's very common. | |
| here in Florida, unfortunately, in pediatrician offices, as it is in probably most parts of the country. | |
| Families, parents, and their children are being told that in order to receive care, you must comply with these medical therapies in the way and at the time that I dictate. | |
| That already is completely against literally everything we learned about ethics in medical school because it is inherently coercive. | |
| And you cannot provide ethical, appropriate, proper medical care in the setting of coercion. | |
| It's impossible. | |
| And, you know, my youngest kid is six years old, and he can explain to you after, you know, after a brief discussion, he would be able to explain why it is very clearly coercive to punish families by kicking them out of your practice if they do not agree to taking a medication. | |
| That medication happens to be vaccines that we're talking about, but it doesn't matter what the medication is. | |
| It is a coercive policy. | |
| It's as bad as a policy can be. | |
| So on a practical level, what happens sometimes is that moms or dads may just want to, for example, spread some vaccines out, or they may not want to take particular vaccines because they have some concerns about their child sensitivity or their need for a particular vaccine. | |
| And for parents to be kicked out of pediatrician practices for that reason, it's just wrong. | |
| I mean, it's plain W-R-O-N-G wrong. | |
| And so we're going to be working on some bill language for that. | |
| We actually attempted to pass a bill, like a patient's bill of rights, that sort of bill in the last session. |
