Dr Joseph A. Ladapo, MD, PhD, is a physician and health policy researcher (a clinician scientist), originally at UCLA, whose primary interests include health economics, technology evaluation, and interventions to reduce cardiovascular disease risk. As an Associate Professor at the David Geffen School of Medicine in California he cared for hospitalized patients.
Dr. Ladapo graduated from Wake Forest University and received his MD from Harvard Medical School and his PhD in Health Policy from Harvard Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. He completed his clinical training in internal medicine at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. [REF]
On July 27, 2020, he stood with the many America’s Frontline Doctors (AFLD) on Capitol Hill in Washington D.C. for the White Coat Summit press conference, their first summit. Their video was said to be “the most viral video of all time” which that had 17 million views before YouTube removed it within 24 hours.
Through 2020, Dr Ladapo had written numerous opinion articles relating to the pandemic lockdowns which he thinks may likely have helped prompt Governor DeSantis, via his chief of staff Adrian Lukis, to contact him and ask if he’d consider being Florida’s next Surgeon General.
Acceptance speech September 21, 2021 – HERE
On September 20, 2021 Dr Lapado was hired at the University of Florida College of Medicine, and the next day Gov. Ron DeSantis officially names Dr. Joseph Ladapo his new Surgeon General of Florida. Dr Lapado’s public health focus was to quit with the FEAR, uphold civil liberties and use data, aka “science”, to guide health policy – which is controversial as that all goes against the “narrative”.
“Florida has continued to stay ahead of the federal government by following sound science – not coercion”
Dr. Joseph Ladapo, March 7, 2022
Governor DeSantis with Dr Lapado are role models for informed, measured and data driven Public Health policy, IMHO! Below you will find a collection of no-doubt historic quotes from both of these gentlemen.

This will be a small snap-shot of Dr Ladapo’s pandemic and Surgeon General’s work, along with news articles I feel relevant to build the picture of alleged controversy. I also Included Governor DeSantis excerpts, as they help capture the changes in official health policy, which frankly is hard to keep up with!

June 18, 2024 – Maryanne Demasi: Florida Surgeon General: measles outbreaks, COVID-19 vaccines & public health – READ Some perspective on mealses ‘outbreaks’
- “According to the CDC, measles activity in America is “currently low” with a total of 151 cases reported by 22 jurisdictions so far this year.” – but the media (paid by pharma) would have you believe different
- March 8, 2024 – Leading the Nation Again Florida Successfully Balances Personal Responsibility Parents Rights and Public Health – READ
- “The advice sparked outrage because it contradicted the CDC’s official advice which recommendations a 21-day ‘quarantine’ for individuals who have not been vaccinated against measles or do not have prior immunity.”
- Q “You’ve been blamed for the measles outbreaks across America. What do you say about that?”
A: “it’s completely political…based on the news articles, you’d think that we had thousands of cases of measles.” they only have 10 or 11 cases….”Giving parents the choice is what people really couldn’t handle.”
We’re in this state of mind where people reflexively want to isolate healthy people. It was rampant during the pandemic and caused tremendous harm. Those policies never really took a foothold here in Florida, but in other states, it was very common for whole classrooms to go home just because one kid had covid.
Dr Joseph Ladapo
“I, myself, have learned so much about some of the clinical trials that were used to approve other vaccines. Ever since seeing how corrupt the scientific approach to the safety and efficacy of mRNA covid-19 vaccines has been, more people are looking at other vaccines now.”

The FDA’s response does not provide data or evidence that the DNA integration assessments they recommended themselves have been performed.…
DNA integration poses a unique and elevated risk to human health and to the integrity of the human genome, including the risk that DNA integrated into sperm or egg gametes could be passed onto offspring of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine recipients. If the risks of DNA integration have not been assessed for mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, these vaccines are not appropriate for use in human beings.
