Dr. Pernell: Ending School Vaccine Mandates in Florida Is ‘Reckless,’ ‘We’ve Fallen Completely off of the Cliff’

EXCERPT:

PERNELL: "Reckless, if I could sum it up in one word, let‘s just go to some facts, and I have them here to keep myself honest. Since the last 30 years, we‘ve saved over 150 million lives because of vaccines globally. If we begin to think about in the United States, we‘ve saved over 1.1 million children due to vaccinations since 1994. We‘ve prevented 508 million illnesses and 32 million hospitalizations. That‘s not anything to wink at. That‘s hardcore data. But what‘s happening in the United States is as if we are a runaway train in public health. We talk about the cliff of good health, and we have fallen completely off of the cliff, completely off of it."
