Florida Surgeon General Sends Warning Over New COVID-19 Booster

OPINION | This article contains the author's opinion.

Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo has advised against receiving the COVID-19 booster vaccine that is yet to be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The surgeon general argued that “very educated people” should not be telling you how to think. He suggests external influences may have alternative motives besides your health.

Instead, Ladapo told Floridians to trust their “resonance of truth.” He says to make your own decisions based on your convictions.

Ladapo raised concerns about the lack of clinical trials on humans. “There’s been no clinical trial done in human beings showing that it benefits people,” he explained.

“There’s been no clinical trial showing that it is a safe product for people,” he added, suggesting the updated vaccine could potentially cause cardiac injury.

Polls show that support for the COVID-19 vaccine and booster shots is declining significantly. Biden himself said the COVID-19 pandemic was “over” in September 2022. This hypocrisy hasn’t sat well with many Americans.

Despite the official fact-checks and medical experts who routinely insist that the COVID booster vaccine is “safe and effective,” polls indicate that many Americans remain skeptical.

More Americans are also paying attention to the financial incentives and excessive profits of pharmaceutical corporations with monopolies on the COVID vaccine.

Pfizer saw its 2022 revenue surpass a record $100 billion as company CEO Albert Bourla vowed that everyone will have a “perfectly normal life with just injection maybe once a year.” Bourla received a 36% pay hike and netted $33 million through the pandemic.

Despite four doses of his company’s vaccine, the quadruple-vaxxed Pfizer CEO still tested positive for COVID last year in August 2022. Bourla stated that he was “thankful” to have received four doses of the vaccine at the time.

In March 2023, a staggering 40% of adults said they were very or somewhat concerned about the safety of the vaccine.

In the United States, 60% of adults said they had received at least one dose of the vaccine in January 2022. By March 2023, that number had dropped to 55%.

Ladapo previously criticized the use of COVID-19 masks and potential lockdowns. The most rigorous and comprehensive analysis of scientific studies conducted and published on the efficacy of masks for reducing the spread of respiratory illness, including COVID-19, show there is “no evidence that masks make any difference.”

Nonetheless, former White House chief medical advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci still recently claimed without evidence that masks make a difference “on the individual level.” This is Fauci’s unscientific personal opinion, which contradicts the evidence.

Fauci acknowledged that the Cochrane study concluded that masks had no impact on reducing the spread of respiratory illnesses, including COVID-19.
