On Friday, Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo recommended against men aged 18 to 39 receiving mRNA Covid shots because of the 84-percent increased risk of them having a heart attack within 28 days following inoculation. When Ladapo posted the updated guidance on Twitter on the same day, the tech platform promptly took it down, only to restore it on Sunday.
The Florida Department of Health’s press release on the new guidance stresses that at this point, the risks of the shots outweigh the benefits for the said cohort: “With a high level of global immunity to COVID-19, the benefit of vaccination is likely outweighed by this abnormally high risk of cardiac-related death among men in this age group.”
In the guidance (pdf), the department added that older men over the age of 60 were 10-percent more likely to die of cardiac-related issues within 28 days of receiving mRNA vaccination.
The analysis (pdf) of cardiac cases in vaccinated individuals done by the department found no association between non-mRNA shots and elevated risks of cardiac issues at any age.
Notably, the so-called viral vector vaccines against Covid, such as Johnson and Johnson, were previously linked to other cardiovascular complications such as blood clotting due to the fact that they, identically to their mRNA counterparts, instruct human cells to produce the most toxic part of SARS-CoV-2, the spike protein. According to the company’s clinical trials results, male recipients over the age of 60 are at an increased risk of suffering cardiac arrests.
The guidance reaffirmed the department’s earlier recommendation for parents and guardians to spare their little ones from Covid shots, adding that the youngest of Americans who became “eligible” for mRNA inoculations from Pfizer and Moderna in June should not be getting them, either:
The Department continues to stand by its Guidance for Pediatric COVID-19 Vaccines issued March 2022, which recommends against use in healthy children and adolescents 5 years old to 17 years old. This now includes recommendations against COVID-19 vaccination among infants and children under 5 years old, which has since been issued under Emergency Use Authorization.
“Studying the safety and efficacy of any medications, including vaccines, is an important component of public health,” said Ladapo in a statement accompanying the press release, adding, “Far less attention has been paid to safety and the concerns of many individuals have been dismissed — these are important findings that should be communicated to Floridians.”
The updated guidance was posted by Ladapo on Twitter and was viewed by the social-media giant as violating its coronavirus misinformation policies.
Reportedly, the company stated in its post that blocked Ladapo’s tweet that it was “misleading.”
Many Twitter users reacted to the move with outrage.
Among them was Bryan Griffin, governor Ron DeSantis’ press secretary, who said Twitter made “an unacceptable and Orwellian move for narrative over fact.”
Following the uproar, the platform restored the post with no explanation on Sunday.
While the methodology and limitations of the FDH analysis were harshly criticized, Ladapo addressed such criticism in a subsequent thread, adding, “I love the discussion that we’ve stimulated. Isn’t it great when we discuss science transparently instead of trying to cancel one another?”
Various studies have shown Covid jabs are associated with the development and/or exacerbation of cardiovascular conditions, most often in young men. Last year, even the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) acknowledged, albeit ambiguously, an increased risk of developing conditions such as myocarditis and pericarditis after getting Pfizer’s or Moderna’s mRNA shots for adolescents and young adults.
With prominent physicians and scientists trying to warn the public about the devastating impact of Covid shots on the human body, Ladapo stands as the first figure in a public-health position to defy the federal recommendation and advise the younger demographic against getting mRNA Covid shots.
As for Twitter’s censorship, the platform, along with other social-media companies, has long been suppressing those questioning the safety and efficacy of the pandemic measures, particularly the so-called vaccines.
One of the latest victims of online censorship is board-certified cardiologist and internist Dr. Peter McCullough, the most-published expert in his field. The doctor’s account was purged just days before Twitter removed Ladapo’s announcement. Remarkably, the tech giant decided to permanently boot McCullough after he yet again warned about the shot-related risks of myocarditis by posting a video clip created by the Vaccine Safety Research Foundation (VSRF).
