Dr. Joseph Ladapo, a UCLA researcher who expressed skepticism that vaccines could help end the pandemic, said Tuesday that he would reject fear as a public health strategy.
The state should be promoting good health, and vaccination isnt the only path for that, Ladapo said. Its been treated almost like a religion, and thats just senseless.
He said the state should be supporting many measures for good health: vaccination, losing weight, exercising more (and) eating more fruits and vegetables.
Don't take shots...eat an apple!!!

(3,037 posts)The quote vaccination, losing weight, exercising more (and) eating more fruits and vegetables seems reasonable general health advice. The anti vax idea is nuts but that is not differently then I have been told my primary care physician has told me.

(53,936 posts)but so many people in excellent shape have been taken down by this virus, some who've even died. The vaccine is a much bigger variable than overall health. Just like masks are helpful, but not as important as the vaccine.

(17,876 posts)It's not hard to find quacks. You'll find them in every field. Sometimes you don't even have to pay them to be certifiably stupid. The fact that they're outnumbered by hundreds of thousands of colleagues who think their ideas are bat shit crazy doesn't seem to phase the quacks or the quack hunters. We've seen the same bullshit in climate science for decades now. Before that it was tobacco. And on and on.
Maybe since he's black, DeathSantis thinks he's an unassailable quack. Sorry. A quack is a quack even if they're purple with pink dots.

Really? And he sees this as a viable strategy for beating COVID?
Good luck with that.
