In a call live-streamed on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, DeSantis and Florida Surgeon General Joseph A. Ladapo repeated comments made in a live event last week in Jacksonville, Fla., and argued there isn’t enough evidence that the booster’s benefits outweigh any risks. “I will not stand by and let the FDA and CDC use healthy Floridians as guinea pigs for new booster shots that have not been proven to be safe or effective,” DeSantis said in a statement after the call with Ladapo and other doctors, which opened with the title “No way FDA.”

“During the COVID-19 pandemic, Ladapo promoted unproven treatments, opposed vaccine and mask mandates, questioned the safety of COVID-19 vaccines, and spread miscellaneous falsehoods,[citation needed] contradicting professional medical organizations.[6][7][4] Ladapo has also opposed gender-affirming care and counselling for transgender and nonbinary minors.[8][9][10]

“Around early 2020, Ladapo began to write op-eds for The Wall Street Journal on the emerging COVID-19 pandemic, notwithstanding a lack of specialization in infectious diseases, and gained prominence as a skeptic of mainstream consensus on prevention and treatment.[4] In these columns, Ladapo promoted unproven treatments including hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin, questioned the safety of vaccines, and opposed lockdown and mask mandates deriving from his "experience in treating COVID-19 patients at University of California, Los Angeles."[4][6][15][7][16] However, UCLA's staff scheduling roster did not have him assigned to treat any COVID-19 patients, and several of his colleagues said he had never treated any COVID-19 patient.[17][18] Later that year, Ladapo signed the Great Barrington Declaration, which argued for reaching COVID-19 herd immunity by the fringe notion of "focused protection", where the less vulnerable people were allowed to be infected.[16]

In December 2021, during an interview on the Fox Channel, DeSantis was asked directly whether he had received the booster. To which he responded thusly: “So, I’ve done, whatever I did. The normal shot. And that at the end of the day is peoples’ individual decisions about what they want to do.”

Lol, what a loser

Now get your Fascist controlled pharma drug. Nothing screams life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness as forcing a capitalist product into your body at Fascist gunpoint.

Surgeon General Joseph A. Ladapo repeated comments made in a live event last week in Jacksonville, Fla., and argued there isn’t enough evidence that the booster’s benefits outweigh any risks. 

Nothing screams life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness as to be forced to have a government appointed doctor make medical decisions for you at Fascist gunpoint.

You have to love fascist health measures. If you don't trust greedy capitalists, tough luck. If you don't trust corrupt government. Tough luck.

To just copy or imitate the method of the past is indeed to not be doing science. Feynman says we learn from science that you must doubt the experts: “Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. When someone says ‘science teaches such and such’, he is using the word incorrectly. Science doesn’t teach it; experience teaches it” 

Richard Feynman, Nobel Laureate

Yeah, the evil Communist/Fascist government wants to make people wear masks and get vaccines. Those vaccines would control our thoughts. Did you know that the inventor of vaccine tested the vaccine on 8 year old boy and the boy died? Thats what you get for trusting the vaccine and experts.

Instead, we should be strong 💪 and rely on nature and dirt to cure covid. Maybe we should try injecting dirt in the lungs. Or maybe just eating it will do.

I don't mind communist governments. It's just that a Fascist government partnering with greedy capitalists should never be trusted, especially if you are a poor person. At least communist governments are more honest about what they want to do. So if an unmasked Communist official is barking orders about mask mandates, at least it's more believable than the unmasked head of a billion dollar pharma industry barking masking orders.

Maybe we should try injecting dirt in the lungs.

No doubt, if Pfizer could make a dollar off of that, they would ask their Fascist government partners to mandate it.

Why would government work for the rich when stealing from the rich is a more profitable option for the country?

Eh, probably shouldnt let presidents be sponsored by top capitalists or foreign countries.

Why go through the trouble trying to steal from the rich when the rich will simply give it to you just to sign a few pieces of paper....

Feynman says we learn from science that you must doubt the experts: “Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. When someone says ‘science teaches such and such’, he is using the word incorrectly. Science doesn’t teach it; experience teaches it” Richard Feynman, Nobel Laureate

Aka as the 60's saying ......' Question Authority '....regarding war, public health etc.

 A false narrative is the greatest danger to human existence.

So did anyone question the authorities, regarding Covid vaccines?  If they did what were their findings?

So did some one then and now creating a false narrative?  

We learn from science is also what Feynman thinks cause he has done it many times himself. The primary thing that made the mathematician Feynman so unique, was his ability to look for the simplest answer or solution to  problem.

The scientist did not know for sure, that the atomic bomb would not set of explosion of the whole of Earths atmosphere yet, the calculations probably suggested it wouldnt.  Science is not perfect.

Vaccines are a public health issue. So have there been bad vaccines? Yes. Have there been more good that bad vaccines? A resounding yes.

mRNA  had already been researched ..." Animal research plays a key role in developing successful vaccines for humans. Before promising vaccine candidates can be tested in humans, they must first be tested for safety and effectiveness in animals as required by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. To do this, scientists first determine whether a vaccine candidate can stimulate an adequate and safe immune response. This important step is often conducted using small and then, potentially, larger animal models of disease. Mice are frequently used because they reproduce rapidly, have a well-characterized immune system and a defined genome "...

A false narrative is the greatest danger to human existence.
Absolutely wrong. An unexamined narrative is far existentially worse than any narrative proven true or false.

  1. Potential for Misinformation: When narratives go unexamined, there is a greater likelihood that misinformation, inaccuracies, or biased perspectives can go unchallenged. People may accept false or misleading information as truth, which can have harmful consequences.
  2. Reinforcement of Prejudices: Unexamined narratives can reinforce existing prejudices and biases. People tend to accept narratives that align with their preconceived beliefs, even if those beliefs are unfounded or discriminatory. This can lead to the perpetuation of stereotypes and discrimination.
  3. Lack of Accountability: Without critical examination, those who spread false or harmful narratives may not be held accountable for their actions. This can create a culture where individuals and organizations feel emboldened to manipulate information for their benefit.
  4. Missed Opportunities for Learning: Examining narratives, even if they are proven false, provides opportunities for learning and growth. It allows individuals and society to gain a deeper understanding of the world, correct misconceptions, and make more informed decisions.
  5. Polarization and Division: Unexamined narratives can contribute to polarization and division within society. When people accept conflicting narratives without question, it can lead to ideological divides and hinder constructive dialogue and cooperation.
  6. Ethical and Moral Implications: Some narratives may promote unethical or harmful behaviors when left unexamined. Critical examination helps society identify and address narratives that may lead to injustice or harm.
  7. Scientific Method: Feynman was a renowned physicist who championed the scientific method. This method emphasizes empirical evidence, rigorous testing, and critical analysis to arrive at accurate conclusions. It involves questioning and examining hypotheses before accepting them as true or false.
  8. Importance of Critical Thinking: Throughout his career, Feynman stressed the importance of critical thinking and encouraged his students and readers to question and analyze information. His "Feynman Lectures on Physics" often focused on developing a deep understanding of physical phenomena through rigorous examination.
  9. Skepticism and Doubt: Feynman was known for his skepticism and willingness to challenge established ideas and authority figures. He believed that it was crucial to doubt and question even well-accepted narratives and theories, as it is through such skepticism that progress is made.
  10. Emphasis on Education: Feynman was a dedicated educator who believed in teaching students how to think critically, not just what to think. He emphasized the value of learning how to evaluate information and narratives independently.
  11. Ethical Considerations: Feynman's principles also extended to ethical considerations. He was involved in investigations, such as the Challenger Space Shuttle disaster, where he insisted on examining the narrative thoroughly to uncover the truth, even when it went against the prevailing narrative.
The end.

Please explain how making vaccines for a deadly and highly contagious virus readily available in your state and encouraging people to get them is fascism.

So when Trump initiated his Operation Warp Speed, that was fascism, right?

I don’t recall you ever objecting to that.

Prominent Christian televangelist and anti-vaccine advocate Marcus Lamb died after being hospitalized with Covid-19, his family announced.

I heard that his last words were:  My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
