Florida State Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo encouraged maintaining a balanced, healthy lifestyle to support the immune system as a flu prevention method.
In an interview with Fox News Digital, Ladapo emphasized the importance of"day-to-day" health as a means of protection against the flu and other infections, such as RSV and COVID-19.The doctor suggested that Americans"don't know" how severely the flu will circulate this year, or if the country is at risk of another"tripledemic," as COVID-19, RSV and flu all hit at once.
"It's hard to say," he said."Most of that discussion from the CDC is a marketing strategy to enrich Pfizer and Merck or whoever else is making these vaccines, but it definitely is an issue." Exposure to viral infections is a"risk that is part of living," said the Florida surgeon general in an interview with Fox News Digital."So, it’s something that I think doesn’t require any type of extraordinary preparation, but it’s something that people should prepare for," he said.Ladapo said he encourages his own Department of Health colleagues and fellow Floridians to focus their attention on healthy choices made daily.
