Got this in an email from the Florida Department of Health today. Someone get me out of this crazy state.

    I’m sure this has nothing to do with politics and is all completely supported by science.

      I’d say he was recreating a scene from “The Mighty Ducks,” but I know Disney and the Florida government aren’t seeing eye-to-eye these days.

    I wonder what’s driving this guy to do such blatantly shady stuff like reporting from unreviewed research and editing the findings of studies.

    Does he actually believe this shit, despite everything he learned in school? Is someone paying him? Is he doing this because he likes the national attention it’s getting him?

    Summary:

    The Florida State Surgeon General, Dr. Joseph A. Ladapo, has urged a pause in the use of Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, citing concerns about nucleic acid contaminants. In a letter to the FDA and CDC, he specifically pointed to the presence of Simian Virus 40 (SV40) promoter/enhancer DNA in these vaccines, raising worries about potential risks associated with DNA integration into human cells. Dr. Ladapo emphasized that the FDA has not provided evidence of conducting assessments on these risks, as recommended in their own 2007 guidelines. He underscores the unique and heightened risk of DNA integration, stating that if not assessed, mRNA COVID-19 vaccines may not be suitable for human use. The Surgeon General encourages healthcare providers to prioritize non-mRNA COVID-19 vaccines and treatment. Dr. Ladapo commits to ongoing research assessment, emphasizing transparency and scientific integrity in providing updates to the public.
