New FL Surgeon General Wants To Fight Covid With Weight Loss, Fruit

[Celerity]

DeSantis hires a whack job who dismisses vaccines. Be afraid, Florida. Be very afraid.

"Hey, I know! We'll hire a black guy with a Harvard degree who's batshit crazy, he'll take the heat, and I'll look presidential by comparison!" I can just imagine the strategy session.

Dr. Joseph Ladapo, a controversial UCLA medical professor and critic of lockdowns, mask and vaccine mandates and other mitigation measures, has been named as Florida's new surgeon general, DeathSantis announced Tuesday. Basically, Lapido's a covid whack job, and if I lived in Florida and had any other place to go, I would get the hell out. Via Ars Technica:

1. Grounds for malpractice.

Wouldn't recommend this regimen for the common flu.

2. He couldn't even find a local RWNJ???

[JohnSJ]

3. He sound like f**king Bill Maher

[Kid Berwyn]

4. Sounds like something Pineapple Face DeSantis would say.

The GOP policy is to blame the victim.

6. My house is on fire, let me buy flame-retardant furniture

14. More like "let's put in flammable furniture "

7. I find it hard to argue that Covid isn't a really good reason to emphasize weight loss

But get the darn vaccine first!

Weight problems do appear to be a major risk factor in developing a severe case and having a bad outcome. While im not obese, it's been encouraging me to work on shrinking down the ol' beer belly.

8. Please make it stop

When the surge hit us in first wave we stopped going to the gym, working out from home. And I heard of several people who still attended when they opened up before vaccines became ill with Covid.

9. Residents of Florida need to start filing complaints

11. Quacks Galore

Our parallel Pandemic is dumb.

12. DeSantis and Abbott are in a very dangerous Hold My Beer contest.

[Chainfire]

13. Our state government has yet to admit that Covid is a "thing."

DeSantis and crew are nothing if not hard-headed. What is pathetic is that as badly as he has handled the whole issue is that the people of my state aren't demanding his head on a pike.
