Demon Sperm and Florida's New Surgeon General

Last edited Wed Sep 22, 2021, 02:26 PM - Edit history (1)

Ron DeSantis' New Surgeon General Appeared in 'Demon Sperm' Doctor's COVID Conspiracy Video

Joseph Ladapo—the doctor appointed on Tuesday as Florida's new surgeon general by Republican Governor Ron DeSantis—once appeared in a COVID-19 conspiracy video featuring Dr. Stella Immanuel. Immanuel, a pediatrician and religious minister, gained notoriety in 2020 for her bizarre theories, including that "demonic seed" causes endometriosis and ovarian cysts.

In July 2020, Ladapo appeared in a 43-minute viral video as part of a group called America's Frontline Doctors. None of the doctors in the video were epidemiologists or immunologists best qualified to speak on infectious diseases, Rolling Stone reported at the time. The doctors' recorded speech was organized by the Tea Party Patriots, a right-wing group backed by wealthy Republican donors.

The video promoted hydroxychloroquine as a "cure" for COVID-19, even though studies haven't substantiated that claim. The video also said that masks do not slow the virus' spread and that COVID-19 is less deadly than the flu. Both claims are untrue.

The video received millions of views when then-President Donald Trump, his son Donald Trump Jr. and other right-wing media figures shared the clip on their social media accounts. Facebook, YouTube and Twitter all removed the video for violating their policies on sharing COVID-19 misinformation.

But I come to find out that when my wife's eyes roll back in her head, it isn't my mad skills. Rather it's my sperm causing demonic possession.

Well that sucks.

Lol

When the air is let out of our male fantasy balloons it can be quite earth shaking.

I blame it on Hollywood.

A collection of quacks and kooks the right marches out everytime there is a scientific or medical emergency, ostensibly to quell the fears of mindless right-wing zealots, before they fall prey to factual medical and scientific data.

See; witch doctors, faith healers, voodoo high-priestess.

...intermittently, based on recommendations from one of the AFLD doctors, WHO IS AN ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON!!!!

I wouldn't ask a cardiologist for gynecology advice. I wouldn't ask a car mechanic to make a crown for one of my teeth. I wouldn't ask myself, just retired from 45 years in pediatrics, for advice on oncology. Etc, etc, etc.

One of the members of this group is the crazy pediatrician/preacher who blames a lot of medical problem on demons having sex with humans while the humans are asleep.
