Florida’s Surgeon General Joseph A. Ladapo recently issued a warning to young men receiving covid vaccines, based on an analysis by the state’s health department that indicated they pose an “increased risk” of cardiac-related death.
“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,” Ladapo tweeted.The state’s health department released a statement on Friday stating that it carried out an analysis using a self-controlled case series technique to evaluate vaccine safety.The department said that the analysis showed that there is an 84 percent increase in “relative incidence of cardiac-related death among males 18-39 years old within 28 days” after vaccination that contains messenger RNA (mRNA), which is used in the PfizerBioNTech and the Moderna vaccines.
Based on the information, the Sunshine State’s Surgeon General is now formally recommending against the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines for males ages 18-39 years old, as noted in the official press release.
The Florida Department of Health (Department) conducted an analysis through a self-controlled case series, which is a technique originally developed to evaluate vaccine safety. This studied mortality risk following mRNA COVID-19 vaccination. This analysis found there is an 84% increase in the relative incidence of cardiac-related death among males 18-39 years old within 28 days following mRNA vaccination. Individuals with preexisting cardiac conditions, such as myocarditis and pericarditis, should take particular caution when considering vaccination and discuss with their health care provider.As such, the Florida Department of Health has issued the following guidance: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 Florida Department of Health evaluation also indicated that males over 60 had a 10% increased risk of cardiac-related death within 28 days of mRNA vaccination. However, non-mRNA vaccines were not found to have these increased risks among any population.
It must be noted that the agency acknowledges that these “data are preliminary and based on surveillance and death certificate data, not medical records.”
Still, the correlation was strong enough that Ladapo issued new guidelines calling on healthcare providers to make young men aware of the vaccines’ increased risk of heart failure. The department also reiterated its stance to recommend against vaccines for children.“The risk associated with mRNA vaccination should be weighed against the risk associated with COVID-19 infection,” the guidelines stated. “ 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.”
Several countries are beginning to recommend against covid vaccinations in children, deciding that after two years of the pandemic, the risk to healthy kids from the virus does not warrant using these vaccines.
Even in Australia, which is known for its extreme covid control measures, there is a push to reconsider the blanket vaccination recommendations by one of its top doctors.
Dr Nick Coatsworth has demanded a review of the Covid vaccine for children amid concerns they barely benefit from getting the jab, and are more likely to suffer rare side effects.Australia’s former deputy chief medical officer said the country should reconsider its stance on giving the dose to children above the age of five.The UK has stopped offering the vaccine to healthy children who turned five after August, while Sweden no longer recommends it to teenagers aged 12 to 17.In Denmark, since July no one under the age of 18 can get vaccinated against Covid, with health officials saying very small numbers of children get severely ill from the disease, and therefore vaccination isn’t necessary.It comes after recent studies showed younger people, and particularly adult males between 18 and 25, and are at higher risk of myocarditis – the inflammation of the heart, a rare side effect linked to some mRNA jabs such as Pfizer and Moderna.
Florida may once again be on the cutting edge of sensible covid policy. This makes sense, given that Ladapo has the reputation of being the “anti-Fauci.”
The media dub Joseph Ladapo, Florida’s surgeon general awaiting confirmation, a “firebrand” who’s “controversial.” He opposes mask and vaccine mandates — and so is erroneously called “anti-vax” by his foes.But Ladapo came off as none of these things when I spoke to him for an exclusive interview last week. Calm and poised, Ladapo became a national figure after a clip of him saying the obvious — “The data do not support any clinical benefit for children in schools with mask mandates” — went viral.In so many ways, the Nigerian-born Ladapo is the anti-Fauci. While the oft-criticized Ladapo has stayed consistent, frequent television guest Fauci has reversed himself many times on many details of pandemic policy without showing any data to support those reversals.
First fun fact about Lapado: Florida Democrats walked out of his confirmation hearing.
Second fun fact: Lapado’s announcement panicked the Big Tech, Big Pharma, and Big Government triumvirate, so they pulled his tweet.
Third fun fact: It seems Twitter decided to play electronic ping-pong with the announcement . . . Florida’s Surgeon General’s tweet is back up.
There may be more fun facts to follow.
