"It may yet have to reckon with how the decisions of a relatively small number of individuals will affect the health of entire populations—who may soon have less of a choice about whether they get sick."

"Now, by all appearances, Florida is testing out a head-in-the-sand approach to measles. ...
DeSantis has pitched Florida as a haven from liberal policies: In 2024, the state posted on its borders signs reading welcome to the free state of florida, advertising its commitment to personal choice."

"Under the leadership of Governor Ron DeSantis and Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo, the state has spent the past few years bucking public-health wisdom. A year ago, when measles spread through a Florida elementary school, Ladapo allowed unvaccinated children to return to class instead of staying home to limit the size of the outbreak; in September, he and DeSantis announced that they intend to do away with all vaccine mandates."

"The measles situation in Florida is, in other words, an urgent problem for the state that the state should be urgently addressing.
But on all things measles, the state’s health department has been mostly silent. ...
Florida is the stark outlier—and has been headed in this direction for some time."

"Out of the 30 states where measles has been detected in 2026, Florida currently ranks third in case counts. Since the start of the year, at least 132 confirmed or probable cases of measles have been reported across the state, where vaccination rates have consistently fallen below the threshold required to prevent outbreaks."

Another execution in Florida
Billy Kearse executed on Tuesday in Florida’s killing spree
March 2026
Florida is proceeding apace with its execution programme (program) and Billy Kearse was executed on Tuesday 3rd March 2026. Florida seems to have overtaken Texas as the state keenest to use the penalty. Questions have been raised about the use of the drugs and the secrecy of the process.
Supreme Court Judge Sonia Sotomayor has alleged that the state has failed to follow the protocols which raised the possibility that the executions would violate the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution by causing additional and unnecessary pain and suffering.
This seems to be backed up by evidence produced by The Independent Florida Alligator which has published details of the ages of the drugs used showing that some had expired. The article suggests that the state’s protocol consists only of ‘two sentences’. However, the protocol we have found is longer than that at 14 pp. It is worth reading this as it is ghoulish to read the process of putting someone to death. A remorseless list of actions setting out what is to be done, before, during and after execution.
The Secretary of the Florida Dept. of Corrections, Ricky Dixon, said ‘the foremost objective of the lethal injection process is a humane and dignified death’ (18 February 2025). This must be questioned if out of date drugs are used. Indeed, the protocol says ‘the designated team member will ensure that the lethal chemicals have not reached or surpassed their expiration date’ (rule 6).

It's like this. You put the words "conflict", "of" & "interest" next to each other and the average conservative - as well as liberal - scatters to the woods like frightened little rodents.
The fact is #DeSantis is one of those people who have used illegal foreign labour, promising them a payday months down the line, only to then call the DHS on them.

Imminent execution of ‘Ronnie’ Heath
Appeal for clemency in Florida
January 2026
Florida plans to execute Ronald “Ronnie” Heath on February 10, despite overwhelming evidence that execution would serve no purpose of justice, fairness, or accountability. Ronnie has spent nearly 35 years on death row for the murder of Michael Sheridan, a devastating crime that ended a human life and caused immeasurable harm to the people who loved him. Nothing in this request diminishes that loss or the gravity of the violence that occurred.
Ronnie has endured decades of incarceration, survived extreme trauma, and demonstrated profound growth and change. Meanwhile, his equally culpable co-defendant — his own brother — is alive, incarcerated, and now eligible for parole. Clemency exists for cases exactly like this: when punishment has become disproportionate, when juries never heard critical life-shaping evidence, when modern science changes how we understand culpability, and when execution would only compound harm rather than serve justice.
The Governor and Florida’s Clemency Board have the power and the responsibility to stop this execution. Your letter can help make that difference.
The above text by Floridians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty. The petition to sign can be accessed from this link.
FADP is a Florida-based, state-wide organization working to end the death penalty in Florida. Their network includes dozens of state and local groups and thousands of individual Floridians, including murder victims’ family members and other survivors of violent crime, law enforcement professionals, families of the incarcerated, and death row exonerees.
Amnesty is opposed to the death penalty in all circumstances. It is not a deterrent and mistakes, which are not infrequent, cannot afterwards be rectified. We deprecate what appears to be the Florida state governor, Ron DeSantis using the penalty to demonstrate he is ‘tough on crime’ as part of his alleged desire to be the next president of the USA.
