The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — as well as the Food and Drug Administration — have published a joint letter denouncing Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo.
Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo and Gov. Ron DeSantis at a news conference in West Palm Beach, Florida.
They wrote,"Reports of adverse events to VAERS following vaccination do not mean that a vaccine caused the event. Since December 2020, almost 270 million people have received more than 670 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines in the U.S., with over 50 million people having received the updated bivalent vaccine."
The CDC and FDA went on to claim that studies had found a lower rate of strokes and heart attack among"Despite increased reports of these events, when the concern was examined in detail by cardiovascular experts, the risk of stroke and heart attack was actually lower in people who had been vaccinated, not higher," the letter asserted.
