‘We’re Done With Fear’ Black Surgeon General in Florida Pushes Back on Irrational Vaccine Mandates
/
From [HERE] America’s Vaccine-Only Covid-19 policy and its conversion into a full-fledged police state to enforce that policy has made it the worst place on Earth to suffer the effects of the virus. With the so-called “vaccines” now proven to be an utter failure and killing at least 16,000, the state of Florida has made a bold move with the appointment of Dr. Joseph Ladapo as the state’s new Surgeon General and Secretary of the Florida Department of Health.
Born in Nigeria, he came to this country at the age of 5 with his family. His father, a microbiologist, came here to continue his studies. The 45-year-old Black man holds a Harvard Medical School degree in Internal Medicine and a PhD in Health Policy from Harvard Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. His primary research interests include reducing the burden of cardiovascular disease and ending tobacco use. He and his wife are the parents of three young children.
Dr. Ladapo came to public attention as part of a group of physicians called America’s Frontline Doctors, which stepped forward early last year and exposed the fact that successful Covid-19 treatments were being suppressed by the corporate-controlled American government, media and health care system. Dr. Ladapo opposes the mandatory vaccines, mask mandates, lockdowns that have been imposed by elected officials on the federal, state and local level.
No laws have been enacted requiring these methods. The National Institutes of Health (NIH), Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are all administrative agencies with no power to make law. All of these corporate-controlled government agencies are accused of implementing a depopulation program rather than a health care system and are named defendants in multiple lawsuits
A medical doctor and scientist, Dr. Ladapo insisted that science, not fear, must drive public policy:
“We’re done with fear. That’s been something that’s been unfortunately a centerpiece of health policy in the United States ever since the beginning of the pandemic, and it’s over here(Florida). Expiration date. It’s done.”
Dr. Ladapo vigorously defends the individual human right to reject being vaccinated. “Vaccines are up to the person. There’s nothing special about them compared to any other preventive measure,” he noted during Governor Ron DeSantis’ September 21 press conference announcing his appointment: “It’s been treated almost like a religion, and it’s just senseless. There are lots of good pathways to health and vaccinations are not the only one,” he stated. They include losing weight, exercising more, and eating more fruits and vegetables.”
He emphasized that Florida will completely reject fear as a way of making policy in public health.
Dr. Ladapo also opposes mask mandates and lockdowns. “Viruses inevitably spread, and authorities have oversold face coverings as a preventive measure,” he penned, in an opinion piece for the Wall Street Journal entitled “Masks Are a Distraction From the Pandemic Reality” (10/28/20).
“A hallmark of Covid-19 pandemic policy has been the failure of political leaders and health officials to anticipate the unintended consequences of their actions. This tendency has haunted many decisions, from lockdowns that triggered enormous unemployment and increased alcohol and drug abuse, to school closures that are widening educational disparities between rich and poor families. Mask mandates may also have unintended consequences that outweigh the benefits.”
“Most of the randomized trials of community or household masking have shown that wearing a mask has little or no effect on respiratory virus transmission,” he cited from a May 2020 review published in the CDC’s journal, Emerging Infectious Diseases, the Centers for Disease Control.
“In March (2020), when Anthony Fauci said, ‘wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better but it’s not providing the perfect protection that people think it is,’ his statement reflected scientific consensus, and was consistent with the World Health Organization’s guidance. Almost overnight, the recommendations flipped. The reason? The risk of asymptomatic transmission,” wrote Dr. Ladapo. “Health officials said mask mandates were now not only reasonable but critical. This is a weak rationale, given that presymptomatic spread of respiratory viruses isn’t a novel phenomenon in public health. Asymptomatic or mild cases appear to contribute more to Covid-19 transmission, but this happens in flu cases, too, though no one has called for mask mandates during flu season.”
He concluded that “Shifting focus away from mask mandates and toward the reality of respiratory viral spread will free up time and resources to protect the most vulnerable Americans.”
Since the end of last month, daily deaths in the state of Florida have dropped 48% (from 376 to 195) and daily new cases have dropped 60% (from 9,112 to 3,596) according to The New York Times COVID-19 tracking system.
The growing resistance army against America’s Covid-19 aggressive, hostile vaccination campaign argues that the numbers of cases across the country are skewed to promote fear, but even then, the skewed numbers in Florida should be exploding, not decreasing at twice the rate compared to America as a whole. They contend that statistics indicate the decline, which began before Dr. Ladapo’s appointment, stems from Florida’s abandonment of masks, social distancing, and shutdowns long ago.
Nationwide, the CDC claims that the number of people now in the hospital with COVID-19 has fallen to somewhere around 75,000 from over 93,000 in early September. New cases are on the downswing at about 112,000 per day on average, a drop of about one-third over the past 2 1/2 weeks. Deaths attributed to the virus are also declining, averaging 1,900 a day versus more than 2,000 less than a week ago, the Associated Press reported on October 1.
Dr. Ladapo harshly criticized his colleagues in the healthcare system, saying that their failed approach to treating COVID-19 “was a direct result of scientists—my colleagues, some of them—taking the science and basically misrepresenting it to fit their agendas, their interests, what they wanted to see people do. …And this idea that people don’t get to make their own decisions on issues of health related to their own their own personal health is wrong, and it’s not something that we’re going to be about.” [MORE]
