Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo warns Americans NOT to take latest COVID booster and claims there are 'red flags' over its safety
Daily Mail ^ | 9/09/23 | Keith Griffith

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' hand-picked surgeon general has warned against getting the new COVID-19 booster vaccine that is expected to receive approval in the coming days.

The state's Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo made the claims at a press conference on Thursday, saying there was no evidence to support getting the shot and that there are 'red flags' about its safety.

The updated shots, which target an Omicron subvariant named XBB.1.5, are awaiting FDA approval on standards for safety, effectiveness and quality, and must then receive CDC sign-off, which could come as early as Tuesday.

'Listen inside to what makes sense, what feels right, you know, what feels like truth,' said Lapado, offering his advice on receiving the shots.

'We all know it when we feel it inside.' Lapado went on to claim global studies showed people who had the boosters were more likely to catch COVID itself.

DeSantis joined Lapado at the event and did not offer a specific opinion on the booster, but slammed federal regulators at the FDA and CDC as corrupt, claiming they 'have basically become an arm of Big Pharma.'

Spokespersons for the FDA and CDC did not immediately respond to requests for comment from DailyMail.com on Saturday.

Ladapo's previous warnings against older versions of the COVID-19 vaccines drew a harsh rebuke from the two agencies in March, when they published an open letter accusing him of 'fueling vaccine hesitancy'.

'Based on available information for the COVID-19 vaccines that are authorized or approved in the United States, the known and potential benefits of these vaccines clearly outweigh their known and potential risks,' the letter said.

'It is the job of public health officials around the country to protect the lives of the populations they serve, particularly the vulnerable. Fueling vaccine hesitancy undermines this effort,'...

Approval of the updated COVID-19 booster shots is expected within days. Pfizer, Moderna and Novavax all have manufactured new versions of the vaccine.

Test results will come later. Don't worry about it.

Good for this guy.

He doesn’t believe the lie of:

“safe AND effective”

As fellow FReeper cgbg said on another thread (paraphrasing here), it’s good that the CDC exists. We should listen to what they say and do the exact opposite.

I concur!

Deciding whether or not to take a vaccine should involve weighing the potential benefits against the potential risks. COVID right now is pretty much a non-risk for most people in the U.S., most all of us have had it, many multiple times. There really isn’t a reason to take any more vaccines, whether or not you believe they work. Even if they do work, what’s the point? You’re very, very unlikely to get deathly ill if you contract the new variant so why take a vaccine that you don’t need?

The vulnerable should be the last one to take it. If it can kill a teenager so easy, it can kill an older person even easier.

"Ladapo's previous warnings against older versions of the COVID-19 vaccines drew a harsh rebuke from the two agencies in March, when they published an open letter accusing him of 'fueling vaccine hesitancy'."

It is noteworthy that they didn't refute anything he said, only rthat he gave information that "fueled vaccine hesitancy". I am following his advice, not that of corrupt and woke government agencies. It is they who spread mis-information LIES.

Vaccine recipients are the Guinea Pigs
Once again my plan is to wait for the results of these experiments and decide. The last time my decision was “No”

“Hand picked” surgeon General… ridiculously obvious attempt to discredit him. I stopped reading immediately.

Well, at the very least democrat/communists haven’t called him an “Uncle Tom” ... so far, anyway.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' hand-picked surgeon general

How else do DM editors think Surgeons General are chosen? By God?

Leftist "journalists" always choose phrasing to portray every action by conservatives as somehow corrupt, improper or "controversial."

“The last time my decision was “No””

That was my decision from the outset, also. Just like you wait and see. Now it’s a definite no, never, not gonna happen. I figure the further we get past the start of the vax madness the more variables creep into the equation. I.E., what effect does the latest jab have on people that have had zero to 7, 8, 9 shots and what are the side effects.

They lost all control of the experiment beginning on day one.

You must have went to school back when I did--when you were taught critical reading--nowadays too many public schools infocate instead of educate young skulls full of mush.

“The updated shots, which target an Omicron subvariant named XBB.1.5”

Which is already overtaken by other mutations and headed for obscurity

To: silverleaf; All

“CDC estimates show XBB.1.5 is responsible for about 3 percent of current cases, while a soup of other newer Omicron variants dominates, led by EG.5 at about 20 percent.”

It’s like taking last year’s flu vaccine, but with juicier adverse effects.
