    The Guardian is absolutely pretty far right of the Daily Beast and it's much higher in integrity.

    He 100% earned his merit just by the way he handled Covid and public health.

    Not the covid shot. But Covid as a whole. We just watched the world screw things up beyond recognition. He was one of the level headed ones that looked at all the data and information and led from the front what everyone knows was the correct way.

    So yes his handling of a once in a century (shoot Covid might be once in the 1000 year type of event)…deserves to be lauded and rewarded. UF is lucky to have him!

    We have his work files, showing he deleted the data that disagreed with his desired conclusion.

    Ladapo has been right. Was right. And and for some reason some of you cannot accept this reality.

    Thank goodness he looked at all the data. He knew like any public health official with anything who was at risk from the very beginning. He actually looked at the data out of Italy. Out of New York. From the Diamond Princess. Sadly the few in power ignored the obvious. And peddled nonsense just to say they were doing something. Wear a worthless mask. Stand 6 feet apart lol.

    Ladapo is the gold standard for how to handle public health. And history has proven him right.

    What does he do for UF to earn $250K
    • Promised to bring research grants - didn't
    • Is supposed to teach - doesn't
    • Is supposed to conduct research - won't

    A professor with that kind of performance is not an asset to a university. He retains his no-show job with the university only because of his willingness to say whatever the Governor needs for cover. If you were an honest person about this you would admit you would never retain someone in a job who doesn't meet any job expectations or even show up at the workplace. But you're not and so you won't

    That $250k would be better wasted on our football team.

    Since 2020 Safetyism has emerged as a powerful political cult.

    Throughout the 20th Century deaths of children with spots had fallen through the floor PRIOR to the introduction of the vaccine.

    Kids with spots never went away. But the fear of kids with spots did.

    But the fear is back.

    I was given a polio vaccine in a school auditorium in 1956. It solved many problems I later met people who suffered from the disease. My military experience at a reception center did not ask my consent for my shots. I even have had tetanus shots after old age problems,. We now have measles which I probably had as a child. It was under control, but why not now.

    What we used to call polio is still very much with us, albeit under different names like GBS which, ironically, is known to be caused by vaccines. Also

    Nope, Washington. The state, not the DC. No state income tax, high standard of living, super liberal, though I'm far enough from Seattle to have many local conservative friends.

    That's all you do. Cherry pick a fringe and reject everything else. This is why no one takes you seriously. You've rejected countless physicians accounts during your existence here.

    Haven’t you learned by now? Ladapo, known grifter and hired purely for political points, is correct because they take his side. EVERY other doctor and scientist, without an agenda, is wrong. You can’t make this shit up.

    And why not ? After all, medical doctors were the original quacks. And perhaps the ultimate quackery, virology, is foundational to their livelihood.

    BTW, my appeal to doctery is me doling out a taste of your own medicine.

    It makes more sense when you look at the framing of every issue as, "What can we get a backwoods rube to believe that an educated person wouldn't?"

    Since knowledgeable people are the enemy, anything they agree with must be wrong.
