On February 15, 2023 the Florida Dept. of Health released a “Health Alert” to notify the “health care sector and public” of “a substantial increase in Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) reports from Florida after the COVID-19 vaccine rollout” of which reports of “life-threatening conditions increased over 4,400%“.

This unprecedented, “novel increase” prompted the Surgeon General to write a letter to the FDA and CDC informing them of the need for “unbiased research”, and requested  the “agencies promote transparency in health care professionals to accurately communicate the risks these vaccines pose.”

The report noted Florida’s findings are “consistent” with emerging scientific publications that are uncovering such life-threatening and debilitating adverse event risks.  He included a recent study which showed “excess risk of serious adverse events” associated with mRNA COVID-19 vaccines included “coagulation disorders, acute cardiac injuries, Bell’s palsy, and encephalitis. This risk was 1 in 550 individuals, which is much higher than other vaccines.”

In Oct 2022 Florida recommended young males to refrain from taking the mRNA vaccine due to an 84% increase in cardiac-related deaths in males aged 18-39.
