The logical answer to the question “Who owns my body?” is simple: I do. And each one of us should answer that question in the affirmative. We come to this earth with the divine gift of free will, and we come with only one true possession—our body. We can choose to accept help in caring for that possession, but no one has the right to usurp control over it.

In light of this, I find it curious that anyone would be outraged by the recent actions of Florida’s Surgeon General, Dr. Joseph Ladapo, who announced that there will no longer be mandates for any vaccinations in the free state of Florida. He further stated that it is immoral to force any medication into a person’s body.

Some may argue that everyone should be vaccinated—not just for their own good, but for the supposed good of the greater public. But let’s consider reality: the pertussis vaccine is well known for its failure to stop the spread of the disease. The same has been proven true for the COVID vaccine, which was mandated under the claim that it would “protect grandparents.” And yet, it was shown to neither prevent transmission of the virus nor protect recipients from infection.

The medical-industrial complex has become skilled at promoting the benefits of vaccines, but that same system must also be held accountable for hiding their dangers—and for covering up the lives lost because of them.

As for me, I choose to care for my body by eating well, exercising, and trusting in the natural strength of my immune system. If I happen to come down with an acute illness and spend a week or two recovering, so be it. I would rather experience a brief inconvenience than live with a lifetime of chronic disease caused by vaccine injury.

At the end of the day, it is my body.
And no one—no government, no agency, no institution—should be allowed to force their medicant into it.
