Florida’s firebrand surgeon general is calling for use of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines to be stopped, in yet another controversial decision

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 He cited a preprint study from October, which was not peer reviewed or published in a medical journal, claiming there are “nucleic acid contaminants” in both the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines.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.

    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.’

    Ladapo did.

      Yeah in Florida.

      His boss wears boots and thinks he doesn’t look like the other cute gay guys.

      The entirety of the medical community is laughing at his ass, and I guarantee this little article just shat all over his reputation.

      Edit:

      Wait wait wait. You think the CDC and FDA will even bat an eye at this? If anything someone just filed a complaint with the medical board.
