While speaking at a Thursday news conference for Gov. Ron DeSantis in Jacksonville, Florida, Dr. Joseph Ladapo, Florida’s surgeon general, advised people to steer clear of the updated booster vaccine for COVID-19.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not yet approved the new vaccine, which is reportedly designed to protect against the BA.2.86 omicron subvariant.
‘There’s a new vaccine that’s coming around the corner, a new mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, and there’s essentially no evidence for it’, said Ladapo. ‘There’s been no clinical trial done in human beings showing that it benefits people’.
In terms of specific concerns, Ladapo warned that the updated vaccines actually cause cardiac injury in many people.
