Just in case you aren't pissed off about this, measles isn't going to stay in Florida. Every transmission and every infection is an opportunity for mutation and reproduction. Measles vaccinations help, but it isn't 100% effective. The more people infected, the worse it's going to get.
Get more pissed:
And there's more!

NO vaccine is 100% effective. The only reason they're effective at all is due to the fact that most everyone has that vaccination. People are too goddamn dumb to realize this.
Also, anyone who's ever flown to/from Orlando knows those planes have far more kids on them than the typical flight does. This outbreak is fortunately so far only in south Florida, but that doesn't mean it will stay there. Just one infected kid going to a central Florida theme park could spread this around the country very rapidly.
Oh, and spring break is what, a few weeks away? Good thing most colleges require proof of vaccination....
Well just have to close the state borders and turn away planes from FL.
The fact that you are saying this in jest is kinda the problem, we absolutely should do that. If DeSantis wants to ignore basic health literacy, then Florida should be quarantined until the outbreak of measles is contained.
Saw it off at the border and let it float out into the Atlantic.
Ain't I a stinker?
Floridian here, I agree.
Ladapo should absolutely have his license to practice medicine revoked.
