As federal health officials embark on a campaign this week to get more Americans boosted for COVID, Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo is digging in on social media on an earlier claim that the mRNA vaccines are unsafe and linked to deaths from myocarditis.
“mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are far less safe than any vaccines widely used,” the top health official in the state tweeted on Dec. 2. “When does sanity return to science? Why do scientists breathlessly defend this technology?” Hundreds of anti-vaccine enthusiasts commented in support.
Ladapo claims a new study of 35 deaths out of Heidelberg, Germany is “consistent” with the results of a Florida analysis of deaths. The small Germany study shows 5 out of 35 people who died within 20 days of a COVID vaccine had myocarditis as cause of death.
