Governor Ron DeSantis is pledging to "clean house" at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and says he will install his current, highly controversial Surgeon General at the nation's top public health agency, should the Florida Republican win the White House.
Dr. Joseph Ladapo, who DeSantis hired away from the University of California, Los Angeles, ...
"The surgeon general, a well-known Covid-19 vaccine skeptic, faced a backlash from the medical community after he [went] against guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and American Academy of Pediatrics. [and] against mandatory Covid-19 vaccination."
...
In its deep profile of Ladapo, the Sentinel quotes the Florida Surgeon General saying the COVID-19 vaccine “has a terrible safety profile,” and, “At this point in the pandemic, I’m not sure anyone should be taking them.”
...
Before becoming Surgeon General, "Ladapo signed the Great Barrington Declaration along with 47,000 other medical practitioners, which called for people to build an immunity to COVID through natural infection when possible in order to reach herd immunity, rather than isolating or wearing face masks."
...
Speaking to Fox News Thursday night, behind a chyron that read "Liberals Bring Back COVID Hysteria," Governor DeSantis adamantly insisted his COVID polices are the right ones, as he praised Dr. Ladapo and pledged to install him at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
"We're going to clean house in places like the CDC," DeSantis said, "they didn't follow the science during COVID ... "So we will clean house with personnel. You're gonna have people in with me like my surgeon general in Florida, Dr. Joseph Ladapo," DeSantis continued. ... Those are the people that need to be in positions, not the political actors that we've seen over the last four or five years."

Consider decaffeinating. May your Sundays be more peaceful.
Trump campaigned on locking Hillary up. He didn’t even have the DOJ start an investigation.
DeSantis didn’t change the law about running for a federal office while a state employee. That was passed before he was governor.
The vax Biden MANDATE was BS. But I am not kooky insane over the vax itself. Looks like ole’ Ron is going after the kook vote.
In a way that is true. If he is not POTUS-47 then it will signal the end of the republic and the cementing of the Deep State™ as an unelected 4th branch of government. Even if a non Trump GOPE hack manages to win, it will be over.
I hope Trump appoints Ladapo. He’s good.
And yet red flag laws and a bump stock ban is still in place in FL.
Sounds like the perfect job for you.
His state was a fresh of breath air during covid
Desantis is a smart man. He followed what was recommended during the early goings of covid (nobody knew how deadly it was considering all the body bags being pumped by the news media ) but once we knew covid wasn't as deadly as the news media made it out to be , he took the opposite approach of many leaders and started opening up
People don't understand the pressure he was under to keep doing the same as other governments.
He was excellent during the pandemic
