Florida’s firebrand surgeon general is calling for use of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines to be stopped.
Joseph Ladapo, M.D., wrote a letter to Robert Califf, M.D., commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and Mandy Cohen, M.D., MPH, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), last month. He cited a preprint study from October, which was not peer reviewed or published in a medical journal, claiming there are “nucleic acid contaminants” in both the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines.
Dr. Ladapo claims, without sufficient backing, that these contaminants can lead to the development of cancer, and damage a person’s blood, heart, lungs, liver, kidney and other organs.
The FDA replied to the surgeon general that there was no evidence the shots posed these types of danger, according to a statement from the Florida Department of Health on Wednesday.
Could yous stop using words like “Firebrand” and use the proper “Attention-seeking”
Yeah. Surgeon General isn’t exactly a position that warrants a “firebrand.” Doesn’t really seem appropriate.
" He cited a preprint study from October, which was not peer reviewed or published in a medical journal," - he did his own research.
Through a Facebook link, apparently.

The guy who committed medical fraud? I am shocked!

What do you call the person who graduates with the lowest marks in med school?
Doctor.
Same thing you call the people that only did it for the money, memorized what they needed, and kept believing their insano batshit “theories”
I know of a person who is adamant that his brother is nonverbal autistic because of vaccines. His job is to administer vaccines.
I know of another cognitive dissonance dumbass who thinks medicine is mostly a ploy to get you to waste your money. He is a nurse.
You’d be surprised at how riddled the system is with idiocy. Thankfully these people don’t have the capacity to climb ranks into positions that have any relevance to decision making.
Yeah, it’s disappointing. There’s no shortage of woo among healthcare workers.

Phenylphedrine wasn’t recently released, it was just not well studied to be a nasal decongestant because Sudafed was a drug with a novel of evidence that it worked. It was just thought to be the next best thing after the OTC ban because it worked on a a similar mechanism and there was some (old as shit) studies that suggested it may work. No one was running further studies as Pseudoephedrine was just seen as the better drug.
All Alzheimer’s drugs? My grandma was on something which significantly slowed the progress of the disease quite a few years ago.
I’d love to know what she was taking. As far as I’m aware there have been no approved medications that have demonstrated reliable anti-disease activity in Alzheimer’s. We do have some medication that can help mask symptoms for a while, but the handful of drugs that have been approved reportedly targeting the actual disease sit on really shaky scientific evidence and likely don’t actually work.
He was appointed by DeSantis in 2021 specifically because he is the only guy with an MD willing to say getting vaccinated was a bad idea. Like literally, DeSantis saw his pro hydroxychloroquine anti vaccine op eds and hired him.
He’s not a “firebrand” he’s an anti-scientific hack. It’s not like he’s out there advancing the field of cancer research. It’s just covid misinformation.
Stupid. He probably performed brain surgery on himself and screwed up.
Self lobotchomy
Moron says stupid things. This is the quality of people that DeSantis surround himself with.
Remember the last time we looked at preprint non peer reviewed papers? LK-99 does.
