This is the sort of activity a government official should actually be impeached for. If not arrested for negligent homicide.

I’d throw in medical malpractise and expulsion from the profession for this Harvard-trained physician.

I’m pretty sure he didn’t get these ideas from Harvard. And the selfishness of anti-vax parents who expect herd immunity to protect their kids, and then keep encouraging others to not vaccinate-and are then no doubt all upset that someone didn’t stop the outbreak.

Not only Harvard educated, but taught medicine at NYU and UCLA. This guy absolutely knows better. He just made a political decision to throw in with the right wing.

Exactly. He came to DeSantis’ attention by writing pieces for the WSJ’s looney-tunes op-ed page early during the pandemic, using a “contrarian” take on COVID vaccination and treatments to gain a higher profile.

Of course, he also opposes gender-affirming healthcare for trans people.

Throw in wrongful death lawsuits from parents whose kids die of the disease. Not lawsuits against the State of Florida, but suits against Mr. Ladapo himself for his gross negligence in his medical advice (or lack thereof.)

Looks like this fuckwit is ignoring the Prime Directive.
Seems like lawsuits and/or criminal charges are in order.
This is malpractice at the very least.
