Twitter Censors, Then Un-Censors Florida Surgeon General After He Warns On mRNA Vaccines
The state's surgeon general published analysis warning men aged 18-39 from taking mRNA vaccines due to a statistically significant increase in cardiac-related deaths. Twitter removed it.
(Update: 10/9/2022, 11:00AM EST - Twitter appears to have un-censored the Tweet in question, as reflected in this updated version of the story).
Over the weekend, several astonishing things happened.
First, the Florida State Office of Health put out new Covid-19 vaccine guidance, based on an analysis that they performed, warning men aged 18-39 from taking mRNA vaccines due to a statistically significant increase in cardiac-related deaths.
Then, after Florida’s own Surgeon General - who has a blue checkmark, almost 100,000 followers, an MD and PhD from Harvard and who formerly worked as a health policy researcher at the UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine - put out a Tweet with an official state press release and a link to the actual safety study and data, Twitter removed the post.
Then, about an hour after this post was published, the Tweet was magically back up on Ladapo’s account:

It was no sooner than I asked who was really spreading misinformed disinformation, than this weekend, we may have gotten our answer.
In this case, social media company Twitter is now actively censoring the opinion of the Office of the Surgeon General of Florida, ostensibly because it doesn’t like the conclusions that the office has come to as the office conducts the vaccine safety work that Pfizer and Moderna should have been conducting
Read that again: Twitter is censoring a state surgeon general.
For those that missed the story this weekend, State Surgeon General Dr. Joseph A. Ladapo offered stunning new Covid-19 guidance relating to MRNA vaccines. His office published a press release on Friday after conducting an analysis that concluded “that there is an 84% increase in the relative incidence of cardiac-related death among males 18-39 years old within 28 days following mRNA vaccination.”
His office found that the results were likely only from MRNA vaccines and not from traditional (vector variant) vaccines:
With a high level of global immunity to COVID-19, the benefit of vaccination is likely outweighed by this abnormally high risk of cardiac-related death among men in this age group. Non-mRNA vaccines were not found to have these increased risks.
As such, his office broke new ground for state health authorities and was the first to recommend “males aged 18 to 39 from receiving mRNA COVID-19 vaccines.”
“Those with preexisting cardiac conditions, such as myocarditis and pericarditis, should take particular caution when making this decision,” the release says.
“Studying the safety and efficacy of any medications, including vaccines, is an important component of public health,” said Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo.
“Far less attention has been paid to safety and the concerns of many individuals have been dismissed – these are important findings that should be communicated to Floridians.”

Remember when the “official” fact checkers were urging us to only get our “official” information from “official” sources?
If we can’t get information on safety from a state’s surgeon general, where can we get it? And how quickly will society implode the first time Twitter finds something by Pfizer, Moderna, the NIH or Dr. Fauci that they don’t like and try to censor them?
Who is pulling the strings behind the scenes here?
Ladopo needs to be Head of HHS under President Desantis and clean house with the FDA and CDC. All doctors who have done harm must be held accountable: https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/how-to-do-no-harm-part-2
Here we go again… People desperate to hear what they want to hear get all up in arms because somebody said what they wanted to hear and even though the problems with making any guidance on the basis of the said aforementioned b.s. they were referencing are multiple and manifest, off they go with the censoring talk without trying to defend the basis of the argument they were making.
News flash, you get ignored and banned because you’re too lazy to back up your shit. Instead you run off to corners of the internet where angry people too readily pat themselves on the back for being against the dominant story not because they done quality research but because they like the self-appointed title of being a “free thinker” when they’re not thinking at all, they’re feeling which is so much easier. To further bolster their ego they invent some nefarious cabal out to silence them instead of a health community trying to give them people well researched advice that is statistically likely to result in the best outcomes. I know it hurts your ego to admit that but you need to take your ego out of the equation for second and deal with your own subconscious motivators, they’re making you lazy and leading you to believe shit because you want to believe rather than because it makes rational sense on the basis of evidence.
As usual, most of the folks waving this latest horseshit around online haven’t bothered to read it closely so they’re going to make the rest of us functionally literate folks do the homework for them. Btw, this is why no one takes you seriously whether you’re taking horse dewormer or going all anti-vaxer on people. I hope you do your financial research with more rigor. Here are the problems with the “research” you’re touting as sufficient to reverse everyone else’s work in the field.
1. It’s not a study.
2. It’s not peer reviewed by anyone for accuracy.
3. No authors are listed.
4. If you even bothered to fully read the link you’d see that whoever authored it warns the reader that they used the death certificate code of ACME I3-152 which is a catch all code for “other forms of heart disease”, not a very precise measure by any means. That’s why the anonymous author states “the underlying cause of death may not be cardiac related.”
5. Add to all this the fact that 19-39 year old males don’t die of heart disease very often and it throws into question all sorts of statistical basis’ for the conjecture people are trying to run with.
So if you’d bothered to read this turd without massive political blinders and understand the basics of statistics you’d get pretty quickly that it shouldn’t guide a thing (the anonymous author says as much if you read). If Florida’s surgeon general is referencing this as a reason to not get a vaccine, he’s in pretty deep political territory, not fact or science land. I personally don’t find it at all hard to believe that a DeSantis appointed political figure would want to please his boss over genuinely inform the public with solid science so I don’t really give a hoot what comes behind his name. This is shit research just like the shit research conservatives were trying to score points with on invermectine. Which, is why twitter banned it as disinformation. Which they can do and should do to keep lazy political hacks such as yourselves from creaming the internet with bullshit that other folks that don’t bother to read will accept and repeat until the whole country gets progressively more ill informed.
