There’s a big statement on the COVID vaccine coming out of Florida, and it could be the final nail in Pfizer’s coffin. As negative news piles up around the controversial vaccine, it looks like the American public is waking up from their media-induced haze and is now rejecting the vaccine and its four zillion boosters with a vengeance. The mainstream media labels this as “vaccine and pandemic fatigue,” but it’s probably more about people getting spooked. With all these reports of sudden deaths among healthy, likely vaccinated people worldwide, who can blame them? Not surprisingly, the number of Americans lining...

DeSantis and Florida's Surgeon General Team Up Against COVID RevivalAs the FDA approves new COVID shots and the C.D.C. plans to meet Tuesday, September 12, to consider guidelines on the vaccine campaign for the fall and winter season, Gov. Ron DeSantis and his surgeon general urge Americans to defy any new federal public health guidance to wear masks, take vaccines, or engage in social distancing in light of an upsurge in COVID cases and emergence of a new viral variant.On Thursday, DeSantis said, “The FDA and CDC, they’ve basically become an arm of big Pharma. Pharma will make more money...

Governor Ron DeSantis is pledging to "clean house" at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and says he will install his current, highly controversial Surgeon General at the nation's top public health agency, should the Florida Republican win the White House. Dr. Joseph Ladapo, who DeSantis hired away from the University of California, Los Angeles, ... "The surgeon general, a well-known Covid-19 vaccine skeptic, faced a backlash from the medical community after he [went] against guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and American Academy of Pediatrics. [and] against mandatory Covid-19 vaccination." ... In its deep profile of...

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,...

Dr. Joseph Ladapo spoke at a news conference with Governor DeSantis, warning of ‘a lot of red flags’ with new shotWhile speaking at a Thursday news conference for Gov. Ron DeSantis in Jacksonville, Florida, Dr. Joseph Ladapo, that state's surgeon general, advised people to steer clear of the updated booster vaccine for COVID-19. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not yet approved the new vaccine — which is reportedly designed to protect against the BA.2.86 omicron subvariant. "There’s a new vaccine that’s coming around the corner, a new mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, and there’s essentially no evidence for it,"...

Harvard graduate Dr. Joseph Ladapo has been called a “quack” and “unqualified” for his traditional, pro-science approach to healthcare; unlike a certain Supreme Court justice, he can tell you the differences between a man and a woman. Thankfully though for a man experiencing a cardiac arrest on the grounds of the Tallahassee capitol, Ladapo doesn’t specialize in “gender-affirming care” or “equity” medicine — he’s a real, and apparently very good doctor. See below: Dr. Joe is a stud. https://t.co/8OJwCZJA01News: @FLSurgeonGen Joseph Ladapo saved a man’s life at the Capitol. The man Tuesday morning suffered a cardiac event in the Capitol...

In a letter to Dr. Rochelle Walensky of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Dr. Robert Califf of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Florida's Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo presented evidence from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) showing that the covid vaccines appear to have led to a 1700% surge in harm following a 400% increase in the number of vaccinations. "We have never seen this type of response following previous mass vaccination efforts pushed by the federal government," Ladapo wrote. "These findings are unlikely to be related to changes in reporting given their...

U.S. health authorities have responded to the warning from Florida’s surgeon general about a spike in reports of adverse events following COVID-19 vaccination. Drs. Rochelle Walensky and Robert Califf claimed in the response that Dr. Joseph Ladapo, the surgeon general, was misleading the public by focusing on the increase in adverse events reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). “The claim that the increase of VAERS reports of life-threatening conditions reported from Florida and elsewhere represents an increase of risk caused by the COVID-19 vaccines is incorrect, misleading, and could be harmful to the American public,” Walensky and...

Roughly halfway through his first term, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis appointed Dr. Joseph Ladapo to be the state’s Surgeon General. It should have come as no surprise that Dr. Ladapo went to work promoting health policies that were in keeping with the Governor’s own approach to handling the pandemic. These included opposition to vaccine and mask mandates and particularly how such matters should be handled when it comes to children and pediatric healthcare. This has attracted the unfavorable attention of both the FDA and the CDC. This week they sent a letter to Ladapo, warning him that his policies are...

This week Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla) petitioned for a grand jury investigation into "any crimes and wrongdoing related to the development, promotion and distribution of the COVID-19 vaccines." He also called for the establishment of a state Public Health Integrity Committee, saying "the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has lost the public's trust. Withholding data on the scope of the damage done by the covid vaccines and censoring scientific research into potential alternative therapies for dealing with the disease harm public health. True science requires freedom to pursue different hypotheses. The health of our people needs a more...

If you are like me, you are exhausted of the lies. Every day seems to bring new revelations about how our lives came to be upended. The connections are becoming clearer between the pandemic response and the growing economic crisis, the ballooning debt, the growth of the surveillance state, the corruption and scams, chilling absence of integrity in public life, and, with the failure of FTX, the way in which an outright financial scam was integral to the calamity. While we await new revelations, depositions, coverups, pleas for amnesty, and bad economic news, whom can we trust? Is anyone telling...

LORIDA Surgeon General Enters the War Zone to Discuss the Dangers of the COVID Vaccines on Young Men increase in deaths of 80% between the ages of 18 and 40 and Twitter’s Desperate Attempt to Silence Him. WOW. Vaccines are very unsafe

Dr. Lapado was the only surgeon general in the nation to recommend nutraceuticals to prevent and even treat common ailments, including Covid-19. He’s also not a fan of vaccine mandates, as he told an audience today. “How can you force people to take a vaccine in order to stop transmission when that vaccine is not effective at stopping transmission?” he asked.

The Florida Department of Health urged the state’s board of medicine to establish standards of care in accordance with guidance strongly advising against child sex treatments in a Thursday letter. Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo pointed to a lack of evidence on the safety and efficacy of the procedures and urged the Florida Board of Medicine to consider the department’s guidance that advised against child sex changes, according to the letter. The move is the latest effort from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration to restrict sex-change treatments, particularly for children. “The Department thinks that the evidence speaks for itself,” Florida...

That was the firm message from Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo on Monday, who announced the Florida Department of Health will officially recommend against the COVID-19 for healthy children.

As omicron’s spread outpaces an overwhelming demand for COVID-19 tests, Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo has a solution that contradicts advice from myriad public health experts: test fewer people. In a Monday news briefing, the surgeon general took aim at mass testing and said the Florida Department of Health will soon recommend people forgo testing unless it will be what he labels “high-value.” The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention currently recommends people get tested if they have symptoms, have had close contact with someone with COVID-19, or if they are not fully vaccinated. Some federal vaccination mandates require weekly...
