No doubt sparked by the anti-vaccine drumbeat from Washington, D.C., Ron DeSantis and the extreme Republican leaders of Florida are condemning their state to a public health disaster.

With this right-wing anti-vaccine hysteria, I fear that Florida won’t be the last state to fall for this.

By trying to make their state the first to end all vaccine requirements, including those for children in public schools, Florida leaders will be ushering back diseases like polio, measles and rubella that previous generations feared. We know diseases like this don’t stay within age groups or state lines. Infected kids can bring these diseases home to parents and grandparents, while sooner or later ending up in communities all across the United States.

John, vaccines save lives. What would people who lived and suffered before the miracle of vaccines say about a future generation that rejected them? I suspect they’d be as horrified as I am.

Elected leaders are supposed to protect the people — that includes protecting public health. These actions in Florida are dangerous, wrong and fundamentally opposed to that principle. They are putting conspiracy theory politics that they believe will get them votes ahead of the very children and families they are sworn to protect.

I support vaccines, ensuring schoolchildren are vaccinated and evidence-based public health initiatives. I always will.

Please, add your name to join me and condemn the attacks on vaccines both in Washington and in Florida. [[link removed]]

Thank you for standing with me,

Roy Cooper



Democrat Roy Cooper is running for U.S. Senate to help take back the Majority for Democrats. North Carolina is Democrats’ best chance to flip a seat from red to blue — the path to stopping Republicans in Washington starts here.

National Republicans will target North Carolina as a key battleground and invest heavily in defeating us.

Cooper is a former state legislator, Attorney General, and most recently Governor of North Carolina. North Carolina will be the most competitive Senate election of 2026, and Cooper enters the race as the most formidable candidate of either party.

Cooper’s signature achievements include helping to expand Medicaid and helping make NC the top state for business by creating thousands of jobs and growing the clean energy economy.
