The state’s surgeon general grants parents permission to send unvaccinated children to school during a measles outbreak, risking their health and that of others.
“When measles is detected in a school, it is normally recommended that individuals without history of prior infection or vaccination stay home for up to 21 days. This is the period of time that the virus can be transmitted,” Ladapo acknowledged in the letter, as reported by The Washington Post.
But, he continued, “due to the high immunity rate in the community, as well as the burden on families and educational cost of healthy children missing school, DOH is deferring to parents or guardians to make decisions about school attendance.”
“This recommendation may change as epidemiological investigations continue,” he added.
Ladapo alleges in his statement that “DNA integration poses a unique and elevated risk to human health” and the human genome, “including the risk that DNA integrated into sperm or egg gametes could be passed onto offspring of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine recipients.” He adds, “If the risks of DNA integration have not been assessed for mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, these vaccines are not appropriate for use in human beings.”
Went to medical school, yet somehow doesn’t know the difference between RNA or DNA, or how transcription works. This isn’t crispr here, your body is bombarded with nucleic acids all the time.
I usually go with Hanlon’s Razor in these situations (never attribute to malice what can adequately attributed to stupidity), but I don’t believe DeSantis would go with a stupid Surgeon General. I think he would go with a Surgeon General he knew was corrupt enough to follow his agenda.
Been around a lot of Medical Dr’s (have a few friends from university).
Your average Medical Dr’s is not a scientist. They are mostly diagnosticians. The follow the methods and guidelines developed by research scientist. As such they often have large holes in their understanding of how things work.
While most MD’s/DO’s aren’t researchers, they are very well represented among the clinical scientists who develop guidelines and methods. Guidelines can’t be applied in all cases, so understanding the underpinnings of the disease is still important. Most have also done research at some level at some point in their training, and interpretation of clinical research is a core part of medical education. And they get an extensive basic science curriculum in addition to studying clinical science.
The issue he’s commenting on here though is the very basic central dogma of molecular biology, he would have learned this in undergrad and would have been tested on it medical school entrance exams before even getting accepted for more training. And of course a doctor needs a working understanding of genetics, there is genetic disease in every area of medicine. Florida’s surgeon general is just being deliberately misleading.

This is the same anti-vaxxer nut who said:

Obviously, he was hand-picked by DeSantis.

I bet he knows the difference. But he also knows who pays his salary. And his bribes.
That seems optimistic given the article we’re discussing.

A different quote came to mind:
-Upton Sinclair, author of The Jungle
Fair enough. It’s hard to see a reason other than malice for his behavior regarding measles.
Why not both?
