Florida Surgeon General Bashes Virus Hysteria: ‘Done with Fear,’ Vaccines ‘Treated Almost Like a Religion’
Breitbart ^ | 21 Sep 2021 | PAUL BOIS

Posted on 09/22/2021 2:23:12 AM PDT by conservative98

Dr. Joseph Ladapo, the new Surgeon General and Secretary of the Department of Health for the state of Florida, denounced coronavirus hysteria on Tuesday, alleging it uses fear to rob people of their personal autonomy.

After stepping up to the podium, Ladopo declared that the Sunshine State is “done with fear.”

“We’re done with fear. It’s been something that’s been, unfortunately, a centerpiece of health policy in the United States ever since the beginning of the pandemic, and it’s over here — expiration date is done,” he said.

In the same speech, Ladopo touted the importance of vaccines while acknowledging the many “good pathways” to combatting the coronavirus.

“It’s been treated almost like a religion, and that’s just senseless. There are lots of good pathways to health; vaccination is not the only one,” said Ladapo. “We support measures for good health, vaccination, losing weight, eating more fruits and vegetables.”

“We need to respect human rights,” Ladapo later asserted. “People do have autonomy over their lives. It’s not OK, it’s not virtuous, and it’s not right to just take away those rights from individuals.”

Great appointment. Somebody needed to say these things and really call this “pandemic” response exactly what it is, fear masquerading as medical care. This doctor sounds sane and is probably going to be under relentless attack.

I’m glad DeSantis is challenging not only individual violations of our rights, but the whole concept that somehow a police state and the long-term destruction of society constitutes a reasonable response to a disease.

DeSantis is my Governor, he’s been at the forefront in dealing with Covid in a way that’s not totally insane...

I hope he keeps going, the one thing I hope he does is start treating the pandemic as endemic to our world, it’s never going away, just like the common cold and flu, Covid will come back over and over again and we need to treat it with any possible solution, nothing is off the table...

We need early treatment with existing therapeutics like Ivermectin, HCQ, etc....vaccinate only the most at risk people and move forward without fear or restrictions...

Authorize the use of Ivermectin in Florida and require hospitals and pharmacies to honor prescriptions.

The WooHahNick plague is upon us. We must fight the fight. We cannot surrender to these fascists who have placed a 24/7 repeat of top of the hour news. You’re going to die if you don’t get the jab! If you choose not to get the jab you are selfish and evil because you will kill people by not being jabbed. Wear your masks as a sign of solidarity with the propagandists in the media. Stay in fear!! Isolate yourselves! Impart your fear to your family! Insist that everyone stay in fear! What a country! What a world we live in! FEAR - FEAR - FEAR! WOE is me!

Hey folks, how about get the shots if you want or don’t get the shots if that’s your preference? And wear a mask or not wear a mask according to YOUR individual choice. But let’s end the closures, the mandates, the restrictions and, above all, the constant repetitive testing of people who are not really sick.

Governor DeSantis HAS THE RIGHT APPROACH. LET’S SIMPLY GET ON WITH LIFE!

Why would he authorize the use of less reliable therapeutics when he is directly dealing with the makers of monoclonals. As he has liberalized this treatment Florida numbers have fallen.

It would prefer that the governor does as he has been doing — being actually guided by the science and rolling out treatments that are better than a craps shot.

And Biden (or whoever is behind the idiot) knows this and that’s why he has restricted Florida’s access to monoclonal antibodies, reducing our supply by half as punishment. DeSantis has gone ahead and found a different manufacturer from whom Florida can but it directly, but Biden should be held up to scorn and protest and possible legal action for his vindictive politics that cost Floridian lives because he sees us as the enemy.

After a year and a half, a government official telling Americans to consider losing weight and getting healthy.

Not sure the country is ready for this.

conservative98 :" All ye vaccine worshipers. Time to wise up or we are going to lose this country. "

Yes, so saith the "Minister of Plagues", St. Fauxxi, the high Priest of Science and Medicine, who speaks from the infallibility of NIH and CDC.
Ignore the Flip-Flops, as he still walks on water and commands the shutdown of the world's economy.
Ignore the heretics of Ivermectin and the apostates of Regeneron, as they preach false doctrine which will impede St. Fauxxi's financial renumeration.
Worship the State, as they alone, the State, has provided Salvation through the *Vaxxine*, even though you are more susceptible to other comorbities and illnesses.
Suck it up !.. and ignore what your eyes and mind show you about the source of the pandemic, or, who owns the patents.
And yet, they call Christianity a cult ; ..go figure !
Thus saith the words of the Holy 'Lancet', the secular New Testament of Science and Medicine.

What we have is a pandemic of government. While no doubt the government does some things good, on balance it is a negative force.

It is refreshing to see a few heads pop up now and then with healthy message. I side with that to my end. The others I consider enemies, especially the ones who want to direct me for my own good.

Whatever happened to doctors prescribing treatment for their patients?

Since when has a bureaucrat had a say?

The most powerful branch of government is the unofficial and un-Constitutional "branch" known as the Bureaucracy ... the unelected, the unaccountable Bureaucracy.

Save us, dear vaccine.
Take us seriously.
We had plans.
We were going places.
Children in kindergarten.
So many voices, in chorus.
Give us our world again!
Tiny gleaming vials,
enter our cities and towns
shining your light.
Restore us to each other.

We liked our lives.
Maybe we didn’t thank them enough.
Being able to cross streets
with people we didn’t know,
pressing elevator buttons,
smiling at strangers,
standing in line to pay.
We liked standing in line
more than we pretended.

It’s a quick prick in the arm
You’ll barely notice it
It’s the gas in the car
Getting us going again
It’s the turn in the road
Face-to-face conversation
someday soon?
It’s the hug. Forever,
it’s the hug!

Vaccine, please make the air clean!
We went to yoga classes,
deep collective breathing,
in small rooms in cities
where we didn’t even
live! How brave we were.
Vaccine, please.
Restore our lives.
Believe they were beautiful.
