Banning mRNA COVID vaccine is 'the goal,' Florida surgeon general says

[Zorro]

Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo says he does not want mRNA COVID-19 vaccines to be available in Florida.

In a podcast interview published Sunday, Ladapo was asked about the state’s announcement this month that officials intended to end all vaccine mandates. He said the controversy over the announcement was overblown because vaccines would continue to be available to those who want them — with one potential exception.

“The goal with the mRNA is for that not to be available to anyone, because no one should be using that one,” Ladapo said, in an apparent reference to the COVID-19 shots.

The statement is the latest in a series of harsh criticisms of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines from Florida’s top medical official. In January 2024, the Florida Department of Health recommended against the use of those vaccines, saying the U.S. Food and Drug Administration had not proven them to be safe.
