Florida's surgeon general didn't like the findings from a Covid study — so he made some up. (via MaddowBlog)
: The controversial physician recommended that males between the ages of 18 and 39 avoid commonly used mRNA Covid vaccines, pointing to possible health risks that credible experts said didn’t exist in reality. In fact, Ladapo simply discarded the conclusions from the Centers for Disease Control and American Academy of Pediatrics altogether., “This is the first time that we’ve seen a state government weaponize bad science to spread anti-vaccine disinformation as official policy.
According to the reporting — none of which the state surgeon general denies — the study originally concluded that there were no significant risks associated with the Covid vaccines for young men. Ladapo didn’t like those findings, so he replaced them with the opposite conclusions.
