Florida’s surgeon general faced major blowback from the medical community after warning men against taking the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna Covid-19 vaccines and highlighting an analysis claiming the shots increase the risk of cardiac-related deaths.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. —
“It looks to me like this is politics driving science,” Salmon said on Tuesday. “And the result is you get terrible science.” Ladapo claims his analysis was based on a Florida Department of Health study showing an 84 percent increase in cardiac related deaths among men aged 18 to 39 years old within 28 days of becoming vaccinated through mRNA vaccines. Yet the medical community rejected the analysis Ladapo promoted.
Ladapo said during a Tuesday night interview that he stands by his recommendation and the study in large part because he believes many people are now naturally immune to the virus, saying: “I absolutely believe that's the correct guidance.” He also said that he decided to sign the June 2021 petition after reading early studies showing adverse reactions to mRNA vaccines.
