    Ladapo has been far more right than the vast majority. No could be 100% right. You ought to start listening to Ladapo. He actually follows the science and does not allow a few to use bad studies and push bad medicine.

    It is frustrating you were lied to. I know it must eat at you. But you really need to start following the science and stop listening the idiots that fooled you.

    It is unfortunate you are this naive to allow a couple of political profs to control your thinking on Ladapo. He is by far the best Surgeon General that has been given coverage by the msm.

    I wish I could mark this post as funny more than once. I literally spit out my drink when I read it. Lapado purposely deleted the results of a scientific study that didn't support his published opinion on giving the jab to adolescent males. The study was included in earlier drafts, and there is evidence Lapado is the one who deleted it. The big issue? Lapado was wrong! All recent study data, which is a lot more comprehensive, show that infection is significantly more dangerous than the jab.

    This is malpractice from a Surgeon General. He ignored data that didn't fit his opinion, and made a recommendation based on bad science. How many kids in Florida ended up in the hospital with a COVID infection that wouldn't have been hospitalized had they been vaccinated? And they didn't get vaccinated because they followed Lapado's guideline? How many died?!?

    I don't allow political profs to control my thinking. I follow the science. I read the papers and listen to the opinion of the many medical and professionals that have a lot more knowledge than me. I understand there are times where the science isn't cut and dry, and sometimes there are competing results from studies. When this happens, I don't choose a side and stick to it. I like to ask why the results are different, and look forward to reading subsequent study results that hopefully answer the question why the results were different, such as a variable that changed.

    Sadly you actually do. It is why you are still willing to put these shots in your kids. Unfortunate you are part of the very small minority that would do so.

    Science - whatever to have to say to avoid censure, whichever way the wind is blowing and who’s funding your studies.

    I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Do I take the word of a non-medical expert on an anonymous message board who trusts a doctor who purposely deletes study results that doesn't fit his agenda? Or, do I trust the consensus of doctors, scientists, and other professionals who write peer reviewed studies published in trusted journals? The answer should be obvious to anyone who has half a brain.

    Doctors and other so-called experts were almost all carried away by the same madness. And multitudes died because of it.

    Why hasn't Lapado lost his medical license yet?

    LOL! The consensus is kids should have never taken these shots. But hey. Keep telling yourself otherwise. There is a reason so few kids have taken even just one dose of the stupid thing. And that includes with coercion tactics by many local governments across the country.

    So yes. The consensus has been all along to not give these to kids. Yet you only want to follow the consensus of the idiots in public health that were given the microphone from the msm and pushed terrible medicine and public health policy. That is how propaganda works.

    You follow well!

    This is what baffles me. How some here refuse to ask questions and blindly follow the narrative.

    I say the exact same thing all of the time. It is stunning how people follow people with agenda's and ZERO knowledge of viruses or infectious diseases. It is stunning how people will flock to a work of fiction, and refer to it over and over and over again as confirmation bias. What is truly stunning, is how people will completely ignore paper after paper after paper of actual research and latch on to some pre-print that was never going to be published, and never meant for publication, but was intended as propaganda for those too stupid to understand and who wished to easily be led around by the nose.

    Imagine that, 2161 pages into this thread and you finally typed something that is true!!

    I took Q off ignore for a minute because it’s just too much of a train wreck to not look sometimes. Yep, it’s as bad as I thought it was. Newsflash: Listening to a surgeon general who has been factually proven to alter and exclude data to make his talking points seem legitimate is THE very definition of propaganda! Not only that, but the dude worked for America’s Frontline Doctors, a proven grifting scheme, with the batshit crazy demon semen lady who all pushed crock miracle cures like Plaquenil that didn’t work. He is a total F-R-A-U-D. My dude, the only one propagandized is you by all the blatant lies you listen to from right wing media on a daily basis. Please remove your head from Desantis’ ass for a minute and stop using words that you clearly have no idea what they mean, you raving lunatic.

    LOL! You did watch some Youtube videos and your wife read a book. That is a widely recognized path for fully understanding something as complex as medicine and public health, for sure.

    Such a hearty lot here, what with their growing rosters of silenced disputants. Purportedly grown-ass men too.

    Missed this on Thursday, but this is kind of a big deal. FDA gives Paxlovid full authorization for use against COVID-19, no longer EUA only. This means, among other things, that people who travel to areas with poor health care like Africa, the Middle East or Florida may fill prescriptions before travelling and carry it with you in case you require it.

    Florida has phenomenal Healthcare. Led by a governor and surgeon general that stood up to the idiocy you and others fell for.

    Glad you are excited about this non story at this point.
