The U.S. Food and Drug Administration fought back on Friday against what it calls “the proliferation of misinformation” by Florida’s Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo about the safety of COVID-19 vaccines.
In a letter earlier this month to the FDA, Ladapo had questioned the agency’s drug approval and raised alarms about what he sees as the risk of potential cancer posed by COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. Ladapo, the leader of Florida’s health department, said he believed the drug delivery system used by mRNA vaccines could be an “efficient vehicle for delivering contaminant DNA into human cells.”
But a top researcher with the FDA released a public response to Ladapo on Friday saying the Surgeon General’s scientific assertion regarding the cancer risk is “implausible.”
…
“These questions (raised by Ladapo) are designed to scare people rather than investigate true science,” she said. “What we do know is that COVID continues to kill thousands of people every month in the U.S. I think he is doing a disservice to the people of Florida by trying to scare them into not getting a vaccine that can be lifesaving.”

Fortunately mRNA vaccines don’t affect (or effect) DNA, only RNA.
and RFK, they make him very angry.

Now that you’ve erased your misinformed hot takes you should post a comment explaining how new information has enlightened you and you’ve changed your mind. You did learn something new, no?
More likely they got tired of being downvoted is all, I doubt they learned anything
Oh, I am aware.
The article you cite has NOTHING to do with RNA vaccines. It’s talking about mRNA processing, which is a natural process that already occurs in your cells. The article is talking about how this process is altered in cancer cells. It’s like saying water causes cancer.
That’s hardly at established fact. Merely the possibility that there could be a connection. It’s still wildly unprofessional and dangerous for the Surgeon General of Florida to talk out of his ass and make up propaganda that affects lives.
What the fuck are you talking about? “Implausible” is the polite way of saying “batshit insane.”
Cancer is a DNA mutation. mRNA doesn’t cause DNA mutations.
Where did you achieve your doctorate?
