Florida's top health official is calling for all COVID-19 vaccines to be pulled citing safety concerns. The FDA is now pushing back on his safety concerns, and some doctors in the Bay area say he's spreading misinformation. "I see no data to support any problems," Dr. Jill Roberts who specializes in Molecular Epidemiology and Emerging Diseases at USF Health said. Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo called for an end to the use of mRNA vaccines Wednesday morning in a post on X, citing safety assessments and the discovery of billions of DNA fragments in each dose of the Pfizer and Moderna shots. In his full announcement posted on the Florida Department of Health's website, Ladapo said: "The FDA’s response does not provide data or evidence that the DNA integration assessments they recommended themselves have been performed. Instead, they pointed to genotoxicity studies – which are inadequate assessments for DNA integration risk. In addition, they obfuscated the difference between the SV40 promoter/enhancer and SV40 proteins, two elements that are distinct. DNA integration poses a unique and elevated risk to human health and to the integrity of the human genome, including the risk that DNA integrated into sperm or egg gametes could be passed onto offspring of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine recipients. If the risks of DNA integration have not been assessed for mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, these vaccines are not appropriate for use in human beings."
