Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapoā€™s latest diatribe against COVID-19 vaccines took on a religious bent Thursday when he told far-right podcast host Steve Bannon that the inoculations are the ā€œAntichrist of all products.ā€

A day after the Ron DeSantis appointee called for the end of mRNA vaccines because he believed they could harm DNAā€”a claim that experts have debunkedā€”Ladapo reiterated his baseless contentions to Bannon.

ā€œI think it probably does have some integration at some levels with the human genome,ā€ Ladapo said on the War Room podcast, ā€œbecause these vaccines are honestlyā€”theyā€™re the Antichrist of all products. So I think it probably does. But Iā€™m not saying it does.ā€

      I saw yesterday that thereā€™s a strong protection from the vaccine against Long Covid. Perhaps that would give him more time to contemplate his foolishness.

        this comes with the consequence that we also have to endure his foolishness.

        besides which, heā€™d probably write it off as a god testing him for some stupid reason

      Letā€™s be honest, he probably does have the vaccine but like most things this is to grift the stupid on behalf of Republicans.
