The Wikipedia article on him is interesting:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Ladapo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Ladapo
He became acting Florida surgeon general in September 2021, appointed by governor Ron DeSantis, and he was confirmed in February 2022.[6][7]
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Ladapo has promoted unproven treatments, opposed vaccine mandates, questioned vaccine safety, and associated with America's Frontline Doctors, a right-wing group known to promote falsehoods about the pandemic.[8][9][10][11] In March 2022, he recommended that healthy children not be vaccinated against COVID-19, a decision contrary to the CDC and American Academy of Pediatrics.[12] Experts cited by Ladapo expressed concern about how he used their work.[13]

- nathanaldensr 4y agoPointing to Wikipedia as any kind of unbiased take on a person is laughable and immature. Fortunately for my friends, family, and I, many of us appreciated and appreciate getting the other side of this pharma-first time we find ourselves living in.
- Ancapistani 4y agoI don’t see anywhere OP claimed Wikipedia was unbiased. They merely said it was interesting - which it is. He’s clearly not in the same ideological camp as his federal counterparts.
- threatofrain 4y ago> Pointing to Wikipedia as any kind of unbiased take on a person is laughable and immature. Attacking someone's maturity for describing Wikipedia as "interesting" surely says something about your conversational instincts. Anyways, I find the passage about how Ladapo claims to have treated COVID patients at UCLA pretty concerning, since staff at UCLA appear to have come out to say that there are no such hospital records. I think it's fair to judge that either UCLA and Lapado's colleagues are lying about hospital records or Lapado is the one lying about medical records in order to spin narratives for political gain.
- kcplate 4y agoRegarding child vaccination against Covid—-if the vaccine doesn’t prevent infection, doesn’t prevent transmission of Covid if a vaccinated person is infected, and if a child’s severe Covid risk was already so low that there is statistically no way to determine if vaccination impacts severe Covid events in children but there is an increased risk of cardiac events just exactly what is the benefit of Covid vaccination for children?
- throwoutway 4y agoYa I took the vaccine personally, but when a friend mentioned they got their ~1 yr old vaccinated i grimaced
- kcplate 4y agoI’m vaccinated, but my son and his wife chose to not vaccinate my granddaughters. I was happy that they made that decision. In some cases the vaccine made sense, particularly for folks over 50 and with chronic health conditions, but if you are a healthy <40 year old I don’t see a risk to reward benefit in it. I definitely don’t see any benefit to doing it to healthy children.

- the_third_wave 4y agoWikipedia is not a good source for politically sensitive or contentious subjects as these tend to be taken over by self-appointed keepers of The Truth™ who only allow their own narrative to stay on the page, removing anything else. If you want to link to Wikipedia anyway it is best to link to the Talk and Edit history pages as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Joseph_Ladapo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Joseph_Ladapo https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Joseph_Ladapo&action=history https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Joseph_Ladapo&act... The edit warring is clear to see with subjects related to SARS2 and ´transgenderism' being the most contentious.
