In contrast to President Joe Biden and his top White House medical adviser, Dr. Anthony Fauci — both of whom have aggressively encouraged Americans to get vaccinated for COVID-19 — Florida Surgeon General Joseph A. Ladapo has been critical of COVID-19 vaccines, often inspiring vehement rebukes from medical experts. Ladapo revisited the subject of vaccines on Friday night, October 7, when he urged younger men to avoid the COVID-19 vaccines from Moderna and Pfizer and linked them to an “abnormally high risk” of heart-related deaths. And once again, health experts are pushing back against his claims.
Dan Diamond, reporting for the Washington Post in an article published on October 12, explains, “Ladapo’s recommendation — extrapolated from a short state analysis that has not been peer-reviewed, carries no authors and warns that its findings are ‘preliminary’ and ‘should be interpreted with caution” — was swiftly condemned by medical and public health leaders, who said the Florida surgeon general’s announcement was politics masquerading as science and could lead Americans to forgo lifesaving interventions.”
