Florida Surgeon General: Stop Using COVID Vaccines

The Sarasota Herald-Tribune reports:

Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo took the extraordinary step Wednesday of “calling for a halt to the use of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines,” a move that contradicts federal health authorities and again makes Florida an outlier.

Ladapo said in a statement released by the Florida Department of Health that he raised questions about the safety of the vaccines with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and they did not provide an adequate response. As a result, he said, he is now recommending against their use.

The FDA’s response to Ladapo rebuts each of his concerns and warns that vaccine “misinformation and disinformation” will result in fewer people getting vaccinated, which contributes to the “continued death and serious illness toll of COVID-19.”
