Florida Surgeon General Ladapo urges 'halt to the use of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines'



Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo is advocating a stoppage in the use of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines.

"I am calling for a halt to the use of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines," Ladapo declared in a statement on X. "The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have always played it fast and loose with COVID-19 vaccine safety, but their failure to test for DNA integration with the human genome — as their own guidelines dictate — when the vaccines are known to be contaminated with foreign DNA is intolerable."

In a May 2023 letter to FDA Commissioner Robert Califf and then-CDC Director Rochelle Walensky, Ladapo had declared, "Your ongoing decision to ignore many of the risks associated with mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, alongside your efforts to manipulate the public into thinking they are harmless, have resulted in deep distrust in the American health care system."

Then in a December 2023 letter to Califf and CDC Director Mandy Cohen, Ladapo raised the issue of DNA fragments in the vaccines. "In addition to my previous letter, I am writing to you to address the recent discovery of host cell DNA fragments within the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 mRNA vaccines," Ladapo wrote.

But in a letter of response later in December, Peter Marks, director of the FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, said that the agency "is confident in the quality, safety, and effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccines," and that "with over a billion doses of the mRNA vaccines administered, no safety concerns related to residual DNA have been identified." Marks wrote that "it is quite implausible that the residual small DNA fragments located in the cytosol could find their way into the nucleus through the nuclear membrane present in intact cells and then be incorporated into chromosomal DNA."

Now Ladapo is calling for a halt in mRNA COVID-19 vaccine usage.

"DNA integration poses a unique and elevated risk to human health and to the integrity of the human genome, including the risk that DNA integrated into sperm or egg gametes could be passed onto offspring of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine recipients. If the risks of DNA integration have not been assessed for mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, these vaccines are not appropriate for use in human beings," he said in a statement, according to a Florida Department of Health press release. "Providers concerned about patient health risks associated with COVID-19 should prioritize patient access to non-mRNA COVID-19 vaccines and treatment."

Florida Surgeon General Declares Covid Jabs ‘Not Appropriate’ For Any ‘Human Beings’ Over DNA Fragment Concerns

Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo announced on Wednesday that his office is advising against further use of the Covid-19 shots.

FDA responds to Ladapo letter about DNA fragments detected in mRNA COVID-19 vaccines



In response to a letter in which Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo noted the detection of DNA fragments in mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, Peter Marks, director of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, emphasized the FDA's view that the shots are safe and effective.

"I am writing to you to address the recent discovery of host cell DNA fragments within the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 mRNA vaccines," Ladapo noted in his letter to FDA Commissioner Robert Califf and CDC Director Mandy Cohen.

"This raises concerns regarding the presence of nucleic acid contaminants in the approved Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, particularly in the presence of lipid nanoparticle complexes, and Simian Virus 40 (SV40) promoter/enhancer DNA. Lipid nanoparticles are an efficient vehicle for delivery of the mRNA in the COVID-19 vaccines into human cells, and may therefore be an equally efficient vehicle for delivering contaminant DNA into human cells. The presence of SV40 promoter/enhancer DNA may also pose a unique and heightened risk of DNA integration into host cells," Ladapo wrote.

He also noted that "it is essential to human health to assess the risks of contaminant DNA integration into human DNA."

But when responding to Ladapo, Marks conveyed the FDA's contention that the vaccines are safe and said that "misinformation and disinformation" causes "vaccine hesitancy that lowers vaccine uptake."

"We would like to make clear that based on a thorough assessment of the entire manufacturing process, FDA is confident in the quality, safety, and effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccines. The agency's benefitrisk assessment and ongoing safety surveillance demonstrate that the benefits of their use outweigh their risks. Additionally, with over a billion doses of the mRNA vaccines administered, no safety concerns related to residual DNA have been identified," Marks wrote.

"No SV40 proteins are encoded for or are present in the vaccines. On first principle, it is quite implausible that the residual small DNA fragments located in the cytosol could find their way into the nucleus through the nuclear membrane present in intact cells and then be incorporated into chromosomal DNA," Marks wrote. "Additionally, studies have been conducted in animals using the modified mRNA and lipid nanoparticle together that constitute the vaccine, including the minute quantities of residual DNA fragments left over after DNAse treatment during manufacturing, and demonstrate no evidence for genotoxicity from the vaccine. Pharmacovigilance data in hundreds of millions of individuals also indicate no evidence indicative of genotoxicity."

Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo notes 'DNA fragments detected in mRNA COVID shots'



Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo, who notes that DNA fragments have been detected in mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, has issued a letter asking questions related to the issue.

"On today's episode of: What the FDA... I asked @DrCaliff_FDA to address the DNA fragments detected in mRNA COVID shots & how they are hitchhiking into human cells. DNA integration into the human genome & oncogenesis are known risks, even acknowledged by @US_FDA in '07," Ladapo tweeted when sharing his letter to FDA Commisoner Robert Califf. CDC Director Mandy Cohen is also included on the letter.

— (@)

In a letter earlier this year, Ladapo accused Califf and then-CDC Director Rochelle Walensky of ignoring many of the risks related to mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. In his new letter dated December 6, 2023, he noted that "no response has been received."

"In addition to my previous letter, I am writing to you to address the recent discovery of host cell DNA fragments within the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 mRNA vaccines," Ladapo noted in his new letter.

"This raises concerns regarding the presence of nucleic acid contaminants in the approved Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, particularly in the presence of lipid nanoparticle complexes, and Simian Virus 40 (SV40) promoter/enhancer DNA. Lipid nanoparticles are an efficient vehicle for delivery of the mRNA in the COVID-19 vaccines into human cells, and may therefore be an equally efficient vehicle for delivering contaminant DNA into human cells. The presence of SV40 promoter/enhancer DNA may also pose a unique and heightened risk of DNA integration into host cells," he noted.

Ladapo pressed for answers to several questions, including one which reads, "Considering the potentially wide biodistribution of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines and DNA contaminants beyond the local injection site, have you evaluated the risk of DNA integration in reproductive cells with respect to the lipid nanoparticle delivery system?"

Florida Advises Against New Covid Boosters For Most Age Groups, Citing No ‘Sufficient Clinical Evidence’

The Florida Department of Health is officially advising people under the age of 65 not to receive Covid boosters.

'These terrible policies only work with your cooperation': Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo urges noncompliance with mask mandates, lockdowns



Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo has suggested that people refuse to comply with mask mandates and lockdowns.

"What do you call re-imposing mask policies that have been proven ineffective or restarting lockdowns that are known to cause harm? You don't call it sanity. These terrible policies only work with your cooperation. How about refusing to participate…" Ladapo wrote in a post on X, the social media platform previously known as Twitter.

— (@)

His comments come as mask mandates seem to be making a bit of a comeback. For example, Lionsgate reportedly instituted a mask requirement for certain floors of an office in California, and Morris Brown College in Georgia has announced a mask mandate. Such mandates by businesses, schools, and government entities have been banned under Florida law.

"Mask mandates are coming back. Do not comply," tweeted Arizona state Rep. Austin Smith (R).

Dilbert comic strip creator Scott Adams has indicated that if a mask mandate for airline passengers returns, he will not fly. "I'll never again fly with a mask. I'm canceling tentative travel plans on the risk of it alone. If they implement masks for flying, stay home until it passes," he wrote.

"Only morons wear surgical masks as protection against a microscopic airborne virus. Legitimate imbeciles. We're all laughing at you for falling for this stupidity yet again," conservative commentator Dan Bongino posted.

Actor Kevin Sorbo declared that he will not use a mask. "I'm not wearing a mask. You can stay home if you don’t feel safe," he wrote.

But Wisconsin state Rep. Lee Snodgrass, a Democrat, recently promoted the practice of masking. "No shame in wearing masks to protect yourself from viruses and bugs which are on the rise! As temperatures fall and we spend more time inside, it's important to remember we can take steps to stay healthy: wash your hands, wear a mask, and stay home if you have symptoms," she wrote.

Florida Surgeon General accuses CDC and FDA heads of ignoring 'many of the risks associated with mRNA COVID-19 vaccines'



Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo has written a letter to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Rochelle Walensky and U.S. Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Robert Califf, accusing the public health officials of ignoring many risks related to mRNA COVID-19 vaccines.

"Your ongoing decision to ignore many of the risks associated with mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, alongside your efforts to manipulate the public into thinking they are harmless, have resulted in deep distrust in the American health care system," Ladapo declared in the May 10 letter.

He asserted that their "collective decisions to deny that natural immunity confers comparable or superior protection to COVID-19 vaccination, push mRNA COVID-19 boosters for the young and healthy, and delay acknowledging the risks of vaccine-induced myocarditis have only sowed doubt between the American people and the public health community."

The Sunshine State public health official listed a number of requests — among them, he pressed for the officials to "report why randomized clinical trials were not required prior to the approval of mRNA COVID-19 boosters, including the new bivalent booser." He called for them to "Report the number of adolescents that have died within days of receiving a second dose or booster of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccine," and to "Explain why you have not required Pfizer to report results of its randomized trial in pregnant women ... which was completed in July of 2022." He also made various other requests.

\u201cWhen I asked the feds for more honesty and transparency around COVID-19 vaccine data, they replied with a word salad of pandering and gaslighting. \ud83d\ude44 Here\u2019s my response. Let\u2019s try again, @CDCgov @US_FDA.\u201d
— Joseph A. Ladapo, MD, PhD (@Joseph A. Ladapo, MD, PhD) 1683763252

In a March response to an earlier letter from Ladapo, Walensky and Califf had promoted COVID-19 vaccination.

"We stand firmly behind the safety and effectiveness of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, which are fully supported by the available scientific data. Staying up to date on vaccination is the best way to reduce the risks of death and serious illness or hospitalization from COVID-19. Misleading people by overstating the risks, or emphasizing the risks without acknowledging the overwhelming benefits, unnecessarily causes vaccine hesitation and puts people at risk of death or serious illness that could have been prevented by timely vaccination," they wrote.

'Does that sound safe and effective?' Florida had 1,700% increase in vaccine adverse event reports after COVID-19 vaccine came out



There was a whopping 1,700% rise in Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System reports in Florida after the COVID-19 vaccine came out, according to the state's health department.

"In Florida alone, there was a 1,700% increase in VAERS reports after the release of the COVID-19 vaccine, compared to an increase of 400% in overall vaccine administration for the same time period," according to a health alert. "The reporting of life-threatening conditions increased over 4,400%," the alert notes. "There is a need for additional unbiased research to better understand the COVID-19 vaccines' short- and long-term effects."

"Florida saw a 1,700% increase in adverse event reports after COVID-19 vaccinations. Does that sound safe and effective? I didn't think so either. That's why we released this health alert. Just because 'correlation ≠ causation' doesn't mean we should abandon common sense," Florida surgeon general Joseph Ladapo tweeted.

\u201cFlorida saw a 1,700% increase in adverse event reports after COVID-19 vaccinations. Does that sound safe and effective? I didn\u2019t think so either. That\u2019s why we released this health alert. \n\u00a0\nJust because \u201ccorrelation \u2260 causation\u201d doesn\u2019t mean we should abandon common sense.\u201d
— Joseph A. Ladapo, MD, PhD (@Joseph A. Ladapo, MD, PhD) 1676567285

Ladapo raised the issues in a letter to U.S. Food and Drug Administration commissioner Robert Califf and Centers for Disease and Control and Prevention director Rochelle Walensky, suggesting that the statistics are likely indicative of risk related to mRNA COVID-19 vaccines.

"This increase in adverse events, compared to the percent increase in vaccine use, further explains the significant uptick we are seeing in VAERS reports. These findings are unlikely to be related to changes in reporting given their magnitude, and more likely reflect a pattern of increased risk from mRNA COVlD-19 vaccines. We need unbiased research, as many in the academic community have performed, to better understand these vaccines' short- and longterm effects," Ladapo wrote.

"To claim these vaccines are 'safe and effective' while minimizing and disregarding the adverse events is unconscionable," he wrote. "As a father, physician, and Surgeon General for the State of Florida, I request that your agencies promote transparency in health care professionals to accurately communicate the risks these vaccines pose. I request that you work to protect the rights and liberties that we are endowed with, not restrict, and diminish them."

\u201cWhile the Biden administration and Big Pharma continue to blindly push mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, Florida remains dedicated to responding to public health concerns guided by data and common sense.\u201d

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis seeks grand jury to probe any wrongdoing related to COVID-19 vaccines



Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican who easily secured reelection last month, is petitioning the Sunshine State's Supreme Court for an order to impanel a statewide grand jury to probe any wrongdoing pertaining to COVID-19 vaccines.

"Florida law prohibits fraudulent practices, including the dissemination of false or misleading advertisements of a drug and the use of any representation or suggestion in any advertisement relating to a drug that an application of a drug is effective when it is not," the governor's petition states.

"The pharmaceutical industry has a notorious history of misleading the public for financial gain. Questions have been raised regarding the veracity of the representations made by the pharmaceutical manufacturers of COVID-19 vaccines, particularly with respect to transmission, prevention, efficacy, and safety. An investigation is warranted to determine whether the pharmaceutical industry has engaged in fraudulent practices. The people of Florida deserve to know the truth," the petition notes.

According to a press release, the state will also look into the phenomenon of people passing away after receiving COVID-19 vaccination — Dr. Joseph Ladapo, the state's surgeon general, "will conduct research through the University of Florida to assess sudden deaths of individuals in good health who received a COVID-19 vaccine. The Department of Health will also utilize disease surveillance and vital statistics to assess such deaths."

A Public Health Integrity Committee will also be established in the state — DeSantis said that the panel will provide "critical assessments" of the activity of entities such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and National Institutes of Health.

"The Surgeon General will oversee the Public Health Integrity Committee, a committee of expert researchers charged with assessing federal decisions, recommendations, and guidance related to public health and health care," according to the press release. "The Surgeon General would then receive input from the committee to ensure public health policies are tailored for Florida’s communities and aligned with state priorities."
