When I asked the feds for more honesty and transparency around COVID-19 vaccine data, they replied with a word salad of pandering and gaslighting. 🙄 Here’s my response. Let’s try again, @CDCgov @US_FDA.



Cancer impacts the lives of many families throughout Florida, and cases of childhood cancer are especially heart wrenching. Thanks to the leadership of @GovRonDeSantis and the vision of First Lady @CaseyDeSantis, these focused investments in pediatric cancer research will empower…
First Lady @CaseyDeSantis and I were at Wolfson Children’s Hospital in Jacksonville today to highlight Florida’s cancer research and care initiatives, including the Casey DeSantis Cancer Research Program, the Florida Cancer Innovation Fund, and the Cancer Connect Collaborative…
Thank you, Americans for Health Freedom! There are many brave people out there—moms & dads, doctors, scientists, and others—who have shown admirable courage in the fight for medical freedom. Their actions and presence are a manifestation of God’s love. Let’s continue—much more…
Americans for Health Freedom awards Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo our inaugural “Moral Courage Award.” While others stay quiet, Dr. Ladapo has been sounding the alarm about the Covid shots for several years and has called for them to be pulled off the market.…
As State Surgeon General, I am committed to providing Floridians with honest and scientifically-sound public health recommendations. Yesterday's press conference underscored the importance of medical freedom, the imperative to support those impacted by mRNA COVID-19 vaccine…

Thank you @NicoleShanahan for bringing attention to this critical issue. Here in Florida, we’re working alongside Governor DeSantis, state lawmakers, and partner agencies to better understand health impacts of geoengineering and put an end to these anti-human activities, in our…

Thanks, Commissioner, and way to go students!
Florida students have achieved incredible learning gains over the last school year! I look forward to celebrating this success with educators from across the state next week at our Teacher of the Year conference!
Dr. Levi raises an important safety concern about persistent mRNA and spike protein (circulating for months or longer in some people!) and CDC official dodges the issue. Thank goodness for these new ACIP members. @RetsefL
NEW: Changing the system from within 🔥 Happening Right Now: In their very first ACIP meeting, Dr Retsef Levi and Robert Malone are already changing the system. [@RetsefL]:"We need [to] change our approach [because we have] quite established evidence [that] in some patients,…
What a breath of fresh air! Congratulations to the new ACIP members! We look forward to finally seeing decisions rooted in scientific evidence & sound ethics.
On Monday, I took a major step towards restoring public trust in vaccines by reconstituting the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices (ACIP). I retired the 17 current members of the committee. I’m now repopulating ACIP with the eight new members who will attend ACIP’s…
Congratulations to Florida’s new Commissioner of Education, Stasi Kamoutsas! Way to go!!! Follow @StasiKamoutsas for important updates on Florida’s education future.
I am honored to have been unanimously chosen by the State Board to serve as the Commissioner of Education following the recommendation of @GovRonDeSantis. @CommMannyDiazjr leaves large shoes to fill and I thank him for his leadership and his mentorship as I take on this role.
Thank you, Governor! Grateful to @SecKennedy for his hard work and dedication! More work to be done to ensure harms from mRNA COVID-19 vaccines across all populations are fully acknowledged. content.govdelivery.com/accounts/FLDOH…
.@FLSurgeonGen Joe Ladapo led the way in Florida and now the CDC is rectifying a major mistake it made during the Biden era. Removing the mRNA covid shot from the childhood immunization schedule is the correct evidence-based approach.
What a treat to chat with @GovRonDeSantis about these important issues!
.@FLSurgeonGen Dr. Joe Ladapo and I discussed the state of medical freedom, COVID accountability, and the Make America Healthy Again Movement.
Thanks @NicoleShanahan for inviting me to join you!
We talk a lot about science. But what about spirit? @FLSurgeonGen joined me to share how healing trauma changed his life—and his leadership. We also unpack what went wrong during COVID and the war on truth in health policy. This one will stay with you.
Excluding Florida families from access to care because of their vaccination preferences is unequivocally unethical. How can you obtain your patient’s informed consent for a vaccine if the alternative to their compliance—kicking them out of the clinic—is punitive? You can’t.
WATCH: @FLSurgeonGen Dr. Joseph Ladapo says parents in Florida are having trouble finding a pediatrician in their area because certain doctors refuse to see children "if they deviate at all from the vaccine schedule issued by the CDC" He urged lawmakers to pass SB 1270 (carried…
Dear friends in Miami-Dade County: I hear @MayorDaniella plans to veto legislation that passed 8-2 to end water fluoridation. I’ll never understand how anyone feels entitled to add drugs to the water that other people drink. Give her office a call or visit and just say NO!
Miami-Dade commissioners were brave in digesting the science & voting to end water fluoridation. The data support the policy change and the end of this practice is on the horizon in the US. How long do we sacrifice the well-being of pregnant women & children in the name of ego?
The nation’s leading health official is against forced fluoridation, pressing the CDC to halt this outdated and unsafe act. In Miami-Dade, our resolution is under threat of a veto; we hope for prudence over politics.
