Florida State Surgeon General Calls for Halt in Use of COVID-19 mRNA Vaccines

TALLAHASSEE, FL - On January 3, 2024, Florida State Surgeon General Dr. Joseph A. Ladapo sent a letter to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Dr. Robert M. Califf and Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Dr. Mandy Cohen expressing concerns regarding the safety assessments of the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. The concerns stem from the discovery of billions of DNA fragments per dose in these vaccines, which may pose a potential risk to public health. Dr. Ladapo's letter addressed the presence of lipid nanoparticle complexes and Simian Virus 40 (SV40) promoter/enhancer DNA in the approved Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. Lipid nanoparticles are an efficient vehicle for delivering the mRNA into human cells, but they may also be an efficient vehicle for delivering contaminant DNA into human cells. The presence of SV40 promoter/enhancer DNA poses a unique and heightened risk of DNA integration into human cells, which could have serious implications for vaccine recipients. According to Dr. Ladapo's letter, the nucleic acid contaminants present in the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 mRNA vaccines are not biologically inert and may cause adverse reactions in some individuals. The FDA and CDC have not adequately addressed these concerns, and the Surgeon General called for an immediate halt in the use of these vaccines until further safety assessments can be conducted. The discovery of DNA fragments in the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 mRNA vaccines has raised questions about the long-term safety of these vaccines. Some experts have suggested that the presence of these DNA fragments may lead to the development of autoimmune diseases or other health issues in vaccine recipients. Dr. Ladapo's letter also pointed out that the FDA and CDC have failed to address concerns about the rapid development and approval process for the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. The expedited approval process may have resulted in inadequate safety assessments, and the lack of long-term safety data has left many questions unanswered. The Florida State Surgeon General's call for a halt in the use of the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 mRNA vaccines has reignited the debate over the safety and efficacy of these vaccines. While some experts argue that these vaccines are safe and effective, others point to the potential risks associated with the presence of nucleic acid contaminants and the lack of long-term safety data. In response to Dr. Ladapo's letter, the FDA and CDC have stated that they are committed to ensuring the safety and efficacy of all COVID-19 vaccines, including the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines. However, they have not yet addressed the concerns raised by the Florida State Surgeon General. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to the rapid development and approval of several vaccines, including the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines. While these vaccines have been hailed as a major breakthrough in the fight against the pandemic, proof of contamination and injuries caused by the shot increases. The call for a halt in the use of the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 mRNA vaccines by the Florida State Surgeon General highlights the lack of safety and efficacy of these vaccines and the need for further action. The discovery of billions of DNA fragments per dose in the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 mRNA vaccines has raised serious concerns about the safety and efficacy of these vaccines. The Florida State Surgeon General's call for a halt in their use is a reminder of the importance of conducting thorough and independent safety assessments before approving new vaccines.
