“We all know 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. There’s been no clinical trial done in human beings showing that it benefits people, there’s been no clinical trial showing that it is a safe product for people. And not only that, but then there are a lot of red flags,” Dr. Ladapo said on Thursday during a news conference with Governor Ron DeSantis.

It is unclear which vaccine Dr. Ladapo was referring to. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the 2023-24 COVID-19 vaccine will be made available beginning mid-September.

Both Moderna and Pfizer are developing vaccines for multiple COVID-19 variants. Pfizer recently claimed that its updated vaccine provided protection against the BA.2.86 strain and other fast-spreading variants in a trial conducted on animals. Moderna’s vaccine targeting BA.2.86 already conducted trials in humans. Both firms are also planning to roll out new vaccines targeting the Omicron strain XBB.1.5.

At the press conference, Dr. Ladapo pointed out some of the safety concerns about mRNA COVID-19 vaccines and indicated that people should not take the new vaccines if they do not feel confident in its effects.

“So something that you don’t hear much about … there are multiple studies now from around the world, Brazil, Australia, United States that show that over time these vaccines, these mRNA COVID-19 products actually increase your chances of contracting COVID-19.”

“That’s not normal and unfortunately, you’re going to have people who are going to get on television and try to explain why you should be comfortable with taking a product that ultimately, like its predecessors, increases your chance of contracting something.”

Dr. Ladapo asked people to make decisions based on their “resonance of truth” rather than depending on “very educated people telling you what you should think.”

“When they try to convince you to be comfortable and agree with things that don’t feel comfortable and don’t feel like things you should agree with, that’s a sign … And I encourage you and certainly beg and hope that you do listen to it because it will serve you right.”

A January-July 2023 study that analyzed data from 33 California state prisons found that individuals who received new COVID-19 booster shots were more likely to contract COVID-19 compared to those who did not receive the jabs.

The infection rate among the group which received the bivalent booster shots came in at 3.2 percent—higher than the 2.7 percent among the unvaccinated.

Late last month, the CDC admitted that the new BA.2.86 strain can cause infection even among people who have previously been vaccinated against COVID-19.

“The large number of mutations in this variant raises concerns of greater escape from existing immunity from vaccines and previous infections compared with other recent variants,” the agency said in its assessment.

Cardiac Injury, mRNA Particles In Body

During the press conference, the Florida surgeon general also claimed that the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines “actually caused cardiac injury in many people.”

“And the magnitude of that cardiac injury, it’s beyond cardio myocarditis that leads to hospitalization. We call it subclinical myocarditis. Its clinical significance is really unknown. In a perfect world, hopefully it won’t be a big deal, but we don’t know,” he said.

Myocarditis is an inflammation of the heart and is a serious condition that can lead to death.

“It’s unsafe and it’s truly irresponsible for FDA, CDC, and others to be championing something like that when we don’t know the implications of it,” Dr. Ladapo said.

“It’s probably on the order of somewhere between three and five and a 100 people that have evidence of this. Maybe it’s even higher. It’s just completely irresponsible to be pushing something like that.”

Earlier this year, a service member whistleblower disclosed that there was a spike in the rate of myocarditis in the military in 2021 following the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines. Last month, he came public.

In an interview with the Epoch Times, active-duty Navy Medical Service Corps officer Lt. Ted Macie cited Pentagon data to show that the diagnosis of myocarditis rose by more than 130.5 percent in 2021 compared to the average of 2016-2020 cases.

Diagnosis of pulmonary embolism, blood clots in the lungs, and ovarian dysfunction spiked as well.

At the press conference, Dr. Ladapo cited another study that came out recently showing that the spike protein in the mRNA vaccines “apparently appears to stick around, floating around your body for months. There’s a recent study that showed that it was detectable six months later in some people.”

Vaccine Push, COVID-19 Mandates

Dr. Ladapo’s warning against mRNA vaccines came as the White House stated in a Sept. 8 Fact Sheet that the Biden administration intends to get U.S. citizens updated shots this fall, “encouraging Americans to use them.”

“The Administration has secured over 170 million doses of the updated COVID-19 vaccines,” it said. “The Administration is launching a comprehensive effort to make sure that these vaccines are free, widely available, and easy to access for all Americans.”

Meanwhile, there is speculation that mask mandates may once more come into effect amid a rise in COVID-19 cases. Some states like Texas and Florida have already clarified that no compulsory masking would be imposed in their states.

“Even today, parts of our country are forcing children to wear masks in the classroom,” Mr. DeSantis said during a Sept. 7 news conference. “Those mandates are [dead on arrival] in Florida, and we will protect parents and children from this perpetual COVID hysteria.”

“You think that they just won’t try anything new again, and then they always try to figure something out,” the Florida governor said, referring to politicians and health officials who had earlier pushed for imposing vaccine mandates and lockdowns.

“If you give these people an inch, they will take a mile.”

His latest move in his slow creep towards being a full-blown Covid “anti-vaxxer” come with a letter accusing the FDA and CDC of ignoring the risks and promoting the jabs while knowing they are dangerous. The letter begins:

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. Beginning with Operation War Speed, and possibly to be continued with an additional $5 billion investment into Project NextGen, the federal government has relentlessly forced a premature vaccine into the arms of the American people with little to no concern for the serious adverse ramifications.

It is critical to acknowledge and address the negative global impact caused by the emergence of COVID-19. Nonetheless, after two years, your collective decision to deny that natural immunity confers comparable or superior protection to COVID-19 vaccination, push mRNA COVID-19 boosters for the young and health, and delay acknowledging the risks of vaccine-induced myocarditis have only sowed doubt between the American people and the public health community.

It goes on to highlight much of the data that demonstrates the jabs are dangerous, have always been dangerous, and our government has been aware of this for some time. Perhaps they’ve always known.

Here’s the full release:

The jabs are dangerous. Dr. Ladapo knows it. The CDC and FDA know it. Many Americans know it. So why are they still being injected in as many arms as possible?

While we await new revelations, depositions, coverups, pleas for amnesty, and bad economic news, whom can we trust? Is anyone telling the truth?

Today was Anthony Fauci’s last White House press conference, and he spoke as if life is all normal and everything is fine. It’s as if the whole disaster never happened. He never locked anyone down, he says. He is happy for any investigations, he says, because he has nothing to hide. And then he ended with a final push for everyone to get booster #5 or whatever number we are on.

It’s like we live in two universes: our own lives in which we read true things in some places, and official life, in which shills and publicists keep repeating the same nonsense over and over without flinching or providing anything like an honest account of these last three years.

Perhaps for this reason – and also because by any historical standard this is a tremendous autobiography – reading Dr. Joseph Ladapo’s Transcend Fear is a welcome relief from the nonsense of our times. It is brutally honest. It is emotionally affecting. It is careful and precise but also deeply radical in its observations. If what’s called the “public health world” has lost touch with both the public and health, this book provides a path to restoring it. In short, it is a beautiful and inspiring experience.

Dr. Ladapo is the Surgeon General of the State of Florida, picked by Governor Ron DeSantis to forge and explain the state’s health decisions and priorities to the public in the midst of a grave crisis. He has faced down the national press time and time again with Zen-like wisdom. He seems emotionally unflappable while also sticking to the science as he understands it. He is the only public health official in the country who has been upfront about the limits of the vaccines and warned healthy young people that they don’t need them.

What we learn from this book is that he has been a warrior against pseudoscience from the very beginning of this pandemic and the government response. After the lockdowns, most scientists and health professionals fell silent, fearing reputational and financial loss. Dr. Ladapo was different, On March 24, 2020, still within the window of “15 Days to Flatten the Curve,” he wrote in USA Today:

We are fretting and we are fuming. As a country, we have been caught miserably flat-footed after receiving warnings about what lay ahead when cases of Covid-19 began exploding in Wuhan, China. Messages from local and state leaders about how to respond to the pandemic change almost daily—a sure sign they have no idea what they are doing. Shutdowns are happening here in California and in New York, and will probably spread to the rest of the nation….

Here’s the problem: Because of the (understandable) fear and hysteria of the moment, few US leaders are seriously talking about the endgame. The epidemiologic models I’ve seen indicate that the shutdowns and school closures will temporarily slow the virus’ spread, but when they’re lifted, we will essentially emerge right back where we started. And, by the way, no matter what, our hospitals will still be overwhelmed. There has already been too much community spread to prevent this inevitability.

We don’t have a totalitarian government like China, and we value our civil liberties too much to take the measures (i.e., total lockdown) that would be needed to rapidly decrease the infection rate to zero. This means that, even with shutdowns, the virus will still spread. Unfortunately, this also means that rates of “community immunity,” often referred to as “herd immunity,” will slow. As a result, we will always be vulnerable to the virus spreading rapidly again as soon as shutdown measures are lifted, unless they are immediately reimplemented—over and over and over again.

Was he the first post-lockdown voice from public health profoundly to object in a public forum of this magnitude? Perhaps so. Consider the bravery and presence of mind it required to write those sentences. The entire country was on a wartime footing with unprecedented horribles taking place. The media was screaming “Run for your lives” but most of us weren’t even allowed out of our homes to do that.

These were utterly crazy times. The whole world was going bonkers. And yet this man kept his cool.

This book explains where his cool comes from. You see, he is the son of an immigrant from Nigeria, born 1979. A math and science whiz, he attended Wake Forest and then entered Harvard Medical School. While he was involved in his studies, he noted the existence of the Kennedy School of Government and enrolled there too. On graduation day, he was granted a MD plus a PhD in public policy. So essentially: the highest credentials in two fields that this country offers. He became professor of medicine at New York University and then the University of California, Los Angeles.

The trouble was that none of his training had prepared him to deal with medical issues closer to home, namely his wife’s unrelenting migraines that often landed her in the hospital and his own underlying psychological fears of social interaction. The details are very painful and told in this book with disarming detail. Long story short: his search for answers led him toward alternative medical paths that eventually fixed both issues, and burned a lesson in his mind. Health is individual, and the right path is not the same for everyone and not always found in expertise as codified in the textbooks and institutions.

It was soon after these difficult times that the pandemic broke and, along with it, the claims that the experts had all the answers in lockdowns and eventual universal mandates for vaccination.

Dr. Ladapo had meanwhile developed the self-confidence to speak about such matters truthfully and fearlessly. And he never stopped. He wrote for every venue he could, month after month, urging an end to the lockdowns, a focus on therapeutics, attention to the science we had, and genuine concern for the health of actual individuals, who are not lab rats but people with human rights and freedom.

Even though Dr. Joseph Ladapo is obviously a hero (and one for the ages, so far as I’m concerned), the prose here is remarkably lucid, humble, and precise. That’s why I say that the humane concern in this book is an inspiration. Moreover, reading it is a form of therapy because he connects with a common sense that we all had in 2019 before the world descended into utter madness.

What’s more, this book shows a path forward not only for public health but for all of us as individuals. He urges personal reflection as the first step in recovery, overcoming whatever hidden fears we had that caused too many among us to go along with the preposterous parade of dangerous nonsense that controlled our lives for so long.

In my own view, this book is a classic of our times. Its value added is not only the author’s credentials, though he has them galore, or even how it speaks so directly to issues that have profoundly affected all our lives. Its real value is as a model of autobiography that offers lessons for all of us without exception.

We at Brownstone are deeply honored that Dr. Ladapo will be our dinner speaker at our annual conference and gala in Miami, December 3, 2022. There is still time to attend. You can register here.

I write as Dr. Fauci just finished his last press conference without offering so much as a hint of apology for what has happened. Meanwhile, I’m sure Dr. Ladapo is tending to his work in Florida where he has been charged with dealing with public health policy with honesty, truth, and wisdom. I know who gets my vote for hero of the pandemic.

Not in Florida.

According to Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo:

Regardless of what @CDCgov votes tomorrow on whether COVID-19 vax are added to routine child immunizations – nothing changes in FL.

Thanks to @GovRonDeSantis , COVID mandates are NOT allowed in FL, NOT pushed into schools, & I continue to recommend against them for healthy kids.

This isn’t just a question of the health of our children. It’s a test of states’ rights and the limited-government federalism that doesn’t get tested nearly enough. While leftists and collectivists push to continue the consolidation of power in Washington DC, conservatives need to do everything in our power to push back. The fate of our nation may be dependent on preventing a tyrannical federal government from rising even faster than it already is.

Today, we released an analysis on COVID-19 mRNA vaccines the public needs to be aware of. This analysis showed an increased risk of cardiac-related death among men 18-39. FL will not be silent on the truth.

Original Story:

The truth hurts — literally — when it comes to Covid-19 “vaccines.”

Unfortunately, expressing the truth is verboten on Big Tech platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Google. Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo learned that the hard way after he posted a factoid to justify his recommendation against young men getting the jabs.

On Friday, he Tweeted, “Today, we released an analysis on COVID-19 mRNA vaccines the public needs to be aware of. This analysis showed an increased risk of cardiac-related death among men 18-39. FL will not be silent on the truth.”

Dr. Ladapo and Governor Ron DeSantis may not be silent, but they can be silenced on the platforms that are controlled by the globalist elite cabal that wants to jab every man, woman, and child on earth as many times as possible. The Tweet was removed.

Since Twitter is so adamant about keeping the truth hidden, this is a perfect opportunity to turn this into a Streisand Effect moment. Below is the press release Twitter desperately wants censored that includes links to the analysis and the guidance:

State Surgeon General Dr. Joseph A. Ladapo Issues New mRNA COVID-19 Vaccine Guidance

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Today, State Surgeon General Dr. Joseph A. Ladapo has announced new guidance regarding mRNA vaccines. The Florida Department of Health (Department) conducted an analysis through a self-controlled case series, which is a technique originally developed to evaluate vaccine safety.

This analysis found that there is an 84% increase in the relative incidence of cardiac-related death among males 18-39 years old within 28 days following mRNA vaccination. With a high level of global immunity to COVID-19, the benefit of vaccination is likely outweighed by this abnormally high risk of cardiac-related death among men in this age group. Non-mRNA vaccines were not found to have these increased risks.

As such, the State Surgeon General recommends against males aged 18 to 39 from receiving mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. Those with preexisting cardiac conditions, such as myocarditis and pericarditis, should take particular caution when making this decision.

“Studying the safety and efficacy of any medications, including vaccines, is an important component of public health,” said Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo. “Far less attention has been paid to safety and the concerns of many individuals have been dismissed – these are important findings that should be communicated to Floridians.”

The analysis can be found here. The guidance can be found here.

They used to say, “Follow the science!” Now, the minions of Big Pharma are dead set on burying the science so they can push The Great Reset agenda. Sadly, far too many Americans still have no idea.
