“It’s clear that the authoritarians of the COVID-19 era still yearn for their next opportunity to take away people’s rights,” Dr. Joseph Ladapo, the Surgeon General of Florida, recently told The First. “Doctors in general are very trustworthy people, except when they’re under a spell: in this case we’re talking ‘vaccine worship’ versus just treating it like any other medicine.”

Dr. Joseph Ladapo is the Surgeon General of Florida and professor at University of Florida College of Medicine. He received his MD from Harvard Medical School and a PhD in Health Policy from Harvard Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. Dr. Ladapo worked as an associate professor of general internal medicine and a health policy researcher at UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine. He lives in Tampa, Florida with his wife and children.
