Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapoā€™s latest diatribe against COVID-19 vaccines took on a religious bent Thursday when he told far-right podcast host Steve Bannon that the inoculations are the ā€œAntichrist of all products.ā€

A day after the Ron DeSantis appointee called for the end of mRNA vaccines because he believed they could harm DNAā€”a claim that experts have debunkedā€”Ladapo reiterated his baseless contentions to Bannon.

ā€œI think it probably does have some integration at some levels with the human genome,ā€ Ladapo said on the War Room podcast, ā€œbecause these vaccines are honestlyā€”theyā€™re the Antichrist of all products. So I think it probably does. But Iā€™m not saying it does.ā€

    This should be criminal and he should be locked away. The fact that he is allowed to hold office is insanity. Religious people should not be allowed to make policy, and anti-science idiots shouldnā€™t be allowed to hold positions of influence and authority.

      Behind the scenes, most of these people have had the vaccine, too. That makes it so much more evil. They essentially want a percentage of the population to die? I donā€™t understand the end game. Is it just part of the culty stuff? Getting people to suspend their critical thinking entirely?

        yeah Iā€™ve wondered for a long time what the ā€˜planā€™ was, and all I can ascertain years later is: there was no plan. They thrashed and fumbled from the beginning, explaining the USā€™s exceptional covid death #s. And youā€™re entirely correct, the ones who took the vax but downplayed it to the public are the worst of the worst.

      Heā€™s doing us a favor. The stupid will die off and those that remain will be better off.
