LouisianaThe Ministry of Health will not enhance “group vaccination”, including the use of media campaigns or health exhibitions to enhance vaccines against preventive diseases, according to an internal memorandum issued by a general surgeon in the state of 4.5 million people.
The memorandum from the general surgeon, Dr. Ralph Abraham, immediately ignited fears of low vaccination rates, which leads to increased disease, hospital treatment and death – as well as the return of diseases such as measles and polio that was mostly eliminated by vaccines.
He was appointed to his position in June by the extremist Republican Governor in Louisiana, Jeff LandreIbrahim wrote that the state will continue to “encourage every patient to discuss the risks and benefits of vaccination with its provider.” However, he described it as a matter of personal choice, Ibrahim said that the state’s Ministry of Health will get rid of the promotion of group vaccination – even with Louisiana’s struggle with an increase in influenza, which vaccines are offered seasonally.
Meanwhile, Abraham’s directive came at a time when the neighboring Texas reported nearly 50 cases of measles on Friday – as the worst outbreak of the disease in the state was nearly 30 years ago.
in message Ibrahim was posted on the website of the Ministry of Health on the Internet, “comprehensive governmentalizations” for vaccines, and criticized the American Centers for Disease Control and pushed vaccines for prevention aimed at protecting people from Covid-19.
“Unfortunately, many public health departments are still stuck in the response mode,” the message says. “The government must recognize the restrictions imposed on its role in people’s lives and its claws decline in medicine.”

Herricks referred to the inaccuracy in a message from Ibrahim, a veterinarian, family medicine doctor and former Congress member from North Louisiana. She determined his claim that Covid vaccines “show that they have no benefit from a third party in terms of low transmission” when they were actually proven to reduce the transmission significantly.
“The consequences of low vaccination rates? More disease. More hospitals. More deaths.
A source with a direct knowledge of the operations of the Ministry of Health said that many “unlikely and unbelievable populations” throughout Louisiana relied on annual drives to obtain the vaccination of their families against influenza and Covid.
The source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said: “We are no longer allowed to do so at all … and we will completely see the rates of sickness and death associated with diseases that cannot be intended in vaccines, especially in historically deprived societies.” Frankly ideas.

The source also said that photographing vaccines as a matter of personal choice “angry” when Louisiana has a almost complete ban on miscarriage. The advocates of access to abortion believe that it is a personal option rather than something that the government should dictate.
