Florida Mandates Smallpox blankets for All Elementary Schoolers

Tallahassee, FL - Governor Ron DeSantis announced today with Education Commissioner Anastasios Kamoutsas that all Florida elementary schoolers will be required to come into contact with a blanket infected with smallpox within the first two weeks of each school year. 

This move will “ensure that all Floridian youths are fully immune to the disease that once terrorized Europe and that the Soros-funded, Fauci vaccine regime had completely failed to stop” Kamoutsas said on Tuesday, referring to the fact that the CDC ceased all efforts to combat Smallpox in 1972 because the of the disease’s eradication.  

This move comes as part of a larger rejection of conventional public health tactics on the part of Desantis’s administration. Commissioner Kamoutsas described the change as being part of a general “turn towards prioritizing natural immunity to prevent diseases,” as opposed to the “unnatural immunity” provided by vaccines. 

This follows previous decisions by the Desantis administration to stop requiring any vaccinations at all for Florida elementary schoolers which were justified with similar logic. 

When questioned about how the smallpox blankets would be acquired given that the last remaining specimens of the disease are held securely in a handful of American and Russian labs, Kamoutsas responded that that “wasn’t important.” His responses to a number of other questions about the logistics of the policy were similar.

The move faced immediate criticism from health experts and other observers, who argued that exposing children that young to the smallpox virus could have potentially deadly consequences. “Smallpox is an incredibly deadly virus, at one point it wiped out entire civilizations who didn’t have existing immunity. Bringing it into a population like Florida, where people are not used to smallpox exposure could kill millions, starting with the children,” said one former government health advisor who asked not to be named.  

Ultimately, it remains to be seen if Desantis’s unorthodox approach to public health succeeds in making Floridians healthier than the national average.
