Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo, appointed by DeSantis to head the Florida Department of Health, has drawn scrutiny over his shared resistance with the Republican governor to COVID mandates and health policies endorsed by the federal government.
Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo cut data from a COVID-19 vaccine safety study, per multiple reports.He has drawn intense scrutiny over his resistance to COVID-19 mandates for vaccines and masks.
TAMPA, Fla. — An analysis that was the basis of a highly criticized recommendation from Florida's surgeon general cautioning young men against getting the COVID-19 vaccine omitted information that showed catching the virus could increase the risk of a cardiac-related death much more than getting the mRNA shot, The nonbinding recommendation made by Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo last fall ran counter to the advice provided by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The early drafts of the analysis obtained by the Times through a records request showed that catching COVID-19 could increase the chances of a cardiac-related death much more than getting the vaccine, but that information was missing from the final version put out by the Florida Department of Health last October.
Ladapo said that the risk of men ages 18 to 39 having cardiac complications outweighed the benefits of getting the mRNA vaccine.
