Top Florida Doctor Warns Young Men COVID Vaccines Pose 'High Risk' of Death
Florida's Surgeon General Joseph A. Ladapo warned on Friday against young men receiving COVID-19 vaccines, citing a disputed analysis by the state health department that they pose an "abnormally high risk" of 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 The analysis, which was not peer-reviewed, has been criticized by vaccine experts, who said that it was flawed and the benefits of the vaccine outweighed the risks.
Twitter blocked the post from Ladapo, an outspoken skeptic of COVID-19 vaccines, before restoring it on Sunday morning.
The Florida health 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 Pfizer-BioNTech and the Moderna vaccines.
