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 He cited a preprint study from October, which was not peer reviewed or published in a medical journal, claiming there are “nucleic acid contaminants” in both the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines.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

    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.

          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.

        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.
