Florida Surgeon General: Covid Vaccines Inappropriate for Humans Due to DNA Fragment Concerns
Florida Surgeon General Advises Against Further Use of Covid-19 Shots
Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo announced on Wednesday that his office is advising against further use of Covid-19 shots, citing the lack of existing safety data and concerns over DNA integration.
“Providers concerned about patient health risks associated with COVID-19 should prioritize patient access to non-mRNA COVID-19 vaccines and treatment,” Ladapo said in a statement. “It is my hope that, in regard to COVID-19, the [Food and Drug Administration] will one day seriously consider its regulatory responsibility to protect human health, including the integrity of the human genome.”
Wednesday’s recommendation came following a back-and-forth between the Florida Department of Health (FLDOH) and the FDA and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). On Dec. 6, Ladapo submitted a letter to the federal agencies questioning the “safety assessments and the discovery of billions of DNA fragments per dose of the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 mRNA vaccines.” The Florida surgeon general specifically cited a recent pre-print study that found “billions to hundreds of billions of DNA molecules per dose in these vaccines” and “preliminary evidence of a dose response relationship of the amount of DNA per dose and the frequency of serious adverse events.”
In his letter, Ladapo pressed the FDA and CDC about whether drug manufacturers have evaluated the risks associated with DNA contaminants from the Covid shots and the “DNA integration from the lipid nanoparticle delivery system.” As Ladapo explained, lipid nanoparticles act as an “efficient vehicle for delivery of the mRNA in the COVID-19 vaccines into human cells, and may therefore be an equally efficient vehicle for delivering contaminant DNA into human cells.”
Ladapo also questioned the FDA’s existing safety standards and whether it and the CDC have probed the “risk of DNA integration in reproductive cells with respect to the lipid nanoparticle delivery system.”
According to the Florida Department of Health’s Wednesday press release, the FDA responded to Ladapo on Dec. 14 with a note that purportedly contained “no evidence” any analyses of DNA integration had been undertaken to “address risks” the agency itself had raised in years prior.
“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,” Ladapo said. “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.”
Wednesday’s announcement is not the first time Ladapo has raised concerns about the Covid shots’ overall safety and efficacy. In September, the Florida surgeon general recommended against Covid boosters for individuals under the age of 65. His office additionally released an analysis in October 2022 that found “an 84% increase in the relative incidence of cardiac-related death among males 18-39 years old within 28 days following mRNA vaccination.” Citing the analysis, Ladapo officially updated his office’s guidance on the jabs at the time, advising against giving them to 18-39-year-old males.
Florida and Texas have since launched respective investigations into the jabs’ manufacturers for “potential wrongdoing” and employing “highly misleading” marketing to coerce Americans into getting the experimental shots.

Have the manufacturers adequately evaluated the risks associated with DNA contaminants and the potential integration of DNA from the lipid nanoparticle delivery system in mRNA vaccines?
Human health and should not be dismissed lightly,” Ladapo said. “Given the lack of safety data surrounding this issue, it is imperative that we take a cautious approach and prioritize the use of non-mRNA vaccines and treatments.”
The debate over the safety and efficacy of Covid-19 vaccines has been ongoing since their introduction. While the majority of scientific and medical experts support the use of these vaccines as a crucial tool in controlling the spread of the virus, there are some like Ladapo who raise concerns about potential risks.
Ladapo’s concerns focus on the presence of DNA fragments in the mRNA vaccines developed by Pfizer and Moderna. He cites a pre-print study that suggests there are billions of DNA molecules per dose of these vaccines, with preliminary evidence suggesting a relationship between the amount of DNA and the occurrence of adverse events.
In his letter to the FDA and CDC, Ladapo questions whether the manufacturers have adequately evaluated the risks associated with DNA contaminants and the potential integration of DNA from the lipid nanoparticle delivery system. He raises concerns that the lipid nanoparticles used to deliver the mRNA into human cells may also transport contaminant DNA.
Furthermore, Ladapo questions the existing safety standards of the FDA and CDC and whether they have thoroughly investigated the risk of DNA integration in reproductive cells. The Florida Surgeon General believes that DNA integration poses a significant risk to human health and that the agencies responsible for regulating these vaccines should prioritize its investigation.
The FDA’s response to Ladapo’s inquiries, according to the Florida Department of Health, was not reassuring. They allegedly provided no evidence of any analyses of DNA integration and its associated risks, despite raising concerns about it in the past.
Given these concerns and the lack of satisfactory answers from the FDA and CDC, Ladapo and the Florida Department of Health are advising against further use of the mRNA Covid-19 vaccines. They recommend prioritizing the use of non-mRNA vaccines and treatments, where safety data is more extensive and the risk of DNA integration is presumably lower.
While Ladapo’s stance may be controversial and go against the prevailing consensus, it highlights the importance of rigorous scientific research and the need for continuous evaluation of vaccine safety. Ultimately, the decision to use or avoid Covid-19 vaccines should be made based on a careful assessment of available evidence and consultation with trusted healthcare professionals.
The ongoing debate surrounding Covid-19 vaccines reminds us that scientific inquiry is an iterative process, and new information can shape our understanding of risks and benefits. It also underscores the need for transparent communication and collaboration between regulatory agencies, healthcare providers, and the public to ensure that decisions regarding public health are based on the best available evidence.
