Dr. Joseph Ladapo, the Surgeon General for the state of Florida, is now recommending that men in the 18-39 age range not take the mRNA COVID-19 vaccine. Both the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines fall into this category of the vaccine.
The health department for the state of Florida analyzed a self-controlled series that revealed there was an 84% increase in the relative incidence of cardiac-related death among males 18-39 years old within a period of 28 days after taking the mRNA vaccination.
“Based on currently available data, patients should be informed of the possible cardiac complications that can arise after receiving a mRNA COVID-19 vaccine. 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,” the guidance from the Surgeon General states.
Dr. Ladapo wrote in a tweet that his state “will not be silent on the truth.”
The full tweet said, “Today, we released an analysis on COVID-19 mRNA vaccines the public needs to be aware of. This analysis showed an increased risk of cardiac-related death among men 18-39. FL will not be silent on the truth.”
This goes against what the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention currently recommends. They say that all people should remain “up to date” on COVID-19 vaccinations. “You are up to date with your COVID-19 vaccines if you have completed a COVID-19 vaccine primary series and received the most recent booster dose recommended for you by CDC,” the agency wrote.
“COVID-19 vaccines available in the United States are effective at protecting people from getting seriously ill, being hospitalized, and dying,” the CDC asserts. “As with other vaccine-preventable diseases, you are protected best from COVID-19 when you stay up to date with the recommended vaccinations, including recommended boosters.”
Ladapo said in a press release, “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.”
Today, we released an analysis on COVID-19 mRNA vaccines the public needs to be aware of. This analysis showed an increased risk of cardiac-related death among men 18-39. FL will not be silent on the truth.
