    Unrelated. The media does not control any statement or guidance that Ladapo make. He only provides vaccine related guidance. Why?

    Google - DEI Veterans

    They are a major component. Why do you hate the inclusion of disabled veterans?

    New College could actually be the best example of how much Republicans care about "merit." When a bunch of Republican ideologues were handed control over a university, they responded by hiring an unqualified Republican politician to be president who himself hired a bunch of unqualified Republicans into senior positions. And then the school engaged in "affirmative action" efforts aimed at recruiting conservative men. I guess that's the Republican idea of "merit."

    First you must understand why people are against DEI. Do you even know why?

    they will pay at the polls.

    Many people having Desantis buyers remorse

    Also, the attack on women across the country has also rallied many to vote.

    The right is F ed

    If you truly believe in meritocracy then you must hate Desantis, right?

    He has appointed many unqualified buddies to high paying jobs.

    I'm sure you must be outraged, right?

    LOL!

    Ladapo is the gold standard for guidance. But you do you.

    Has Ladapo provided guidance to not take the MMR vaccine? Or are you just trashing him because you don’t like his politics?

    You mean for your beliefs. Not for medical standards.

    Big difference

    Would be a lot more believable claim were it not for the fact that we’re only a little over a year removed from him getting re-elected by a historic margin, and he ran those margins up after having already done essentially everything that you think voters want to punish him for.

    No, it's because it's racist. Diversity is racist. Equity is unfair. And inclusion is isolating.

    Once again you are talking about vaccines. Why has he only provided guidance on a vaccines and nothing else? That is not normal for the surgeon general position

    "Researchers with the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and University of Florida, who viewed Ladapo’s edits on the study and have followed the issue closely, criticized the surgeon general for making the changes. One said it appears Ladapo altered the study out of political — not scientific — concerns."

    This guy? Hmmmm, Johns Hopkins or the quack.

    Again, he affirms your beliefs. He should have his license revoked.

    You must be part of the 5% that listens to the cdc and not doctors for their guidance lol.

    The state surgeon general historically doesn’t do a heck of a lot public facing.

    Yes they have a fair number of responsibilities, but pre-pandemic about the most high profile thing Florida surgeon generals had going on was that the Office of Medical Marijuana Use fell within their agency.

    I am not talking about anything other than Ladapo gets it. He understands his position. He has been right and the evidence has supported his decisions. You apparently are upset over nothing here. His guidance is grounded and makes sense.

    Now you can go jab your 6 month old if you want like the cdc says for Covid. Or be like @HeyItsMe and understand after the first booster you were played if you are healthy.

    Ladapo has been way ahead of the curve and we are lucky to have him here in Florida!

    There is no real threat of measles right now.

    The 6 week abortion ban was after. Moms of Liberty going bonkers on librarians? After. Desantis going after the state police? After. Why do you think he has walked back several policies? He was embarrassed on the national stage. Make America Florida was rejected. His brand is done.

    Edit: And the Democratic party in FL is a mess. Things are changing though
