I think that goes from everything from masks mandates to now these vaccinate mandates and vaccine passports.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I think that if people who don\u2019t agree that that\u2019s the appropriate approach, policy approach,<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span>the appropriate health policy approach, to these problems, if they don\u2019t speak up, we can expect more of the same and worse,\u201d he predicted. \u201cI think this is the time for people to speak up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ladapo claimed that such policies have \u201cworsened racial and ethnic disparities\u201d but expressed his belief that the motives are \u201cnot about health.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not about the improvement of health,\u201d he explained before discussing the vilifying tone touted by Biden\u2019s administration and the commander-in-chief himself, who in September <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/speeches-remarks\/2021\/09\/09\/remarks-by-president-biden-on-fighting-the-covid-19-pandemic-3\/\">warned<\/a> that his patience was \u201cwearing thin\u201d with unvaccinated Americans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt promotes division, and what\u2019s worse is that it basically demonstrates no respect for human rights and human autonomy and the right for people to make health decisions, which they really do have,\u201d he said, explaining that some public health officials have successfully convinced Americans that \u201cthey don\u2019t have permission to make decisions about their health.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"13.216463414634\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">COVID-19 vaccines are effective at reducing the risk of severe illness, hospitalization &amp; death.

Ladapo, MD, PhD (@FLSurgeonGen) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FLSurgeonGen\/status\/1456389333028642819?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 4, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cAnd instead, they just have to agree and go along with whatever they are saying \u2014 whatever these health officials are saying \u2014 and it\u2019s just terrible,\u201d Ladapo told Breitbart News. \u201cI think anyone who cares about civil liberties would have to be alarmed at the fact that they are determined to impose these one-size-fits-all health decisions on everyone.\u201d<br \/>\u201cNot only is it an affront to human rights, it\u2019s also scientifically just ridiculous. The difference, for example, in mortality between children and older people from COVID is literally 1,000-fold. There\u2019s literally \u2014 the risk is 1,000 times higher. So it\u2019s just not sensible, and again, it\u2019s really disrespectful and harmful to human rights and human dignity,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Ladapo\u2019s remarks were part of a larger interview with Breitbart News on Friday, centered around the accusations lodged against Ladapo by the left, including MSNBC\u2019s Rachel Maddow, who attempted to discredit Ladapo\u2019s years of work in a lengthy segment on her show this week. Citing anonymous sources, Maddow questioned Ladapo\u2019s career \u2014 particularly his experience working with coronavirus patients at UCLA.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was taking care of patients with COVID-19 when I was working in the hospital in March, and this is before the COVID-19 team treatment team was established,\u201d he told Breitbart News, adding that he initially volunteered to be on the COVID-19 team as well, although he had to rescind the offer due to family obligations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI volunteered again just to help out in November [2020] specifically with COVID patients \u2026 and then when the team was dissolved, the COVID-19. Team was dissolved in January 2021, patients with COVID came to all the medical teams. So I had those patients when they came to the hospital from the emergency department,\u201d he said. \u201cThey came directly to my team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo it was strange to kind of see the story because it\u2019s factually incorrect and certainly just seemed like an attempt to discredit someone who \u2014 like 10 years of my career has been based on my credibility, both clinically and in research, and they\u2019re sort of trying to make people believe something else than what is actually true about me and my career,\u201d he said of Maddow\u2019s segment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Americans can only expect \u201cmore of the same and worse\u201d in terms of coercive coronavirus mandates if people do not begin standing up and speaking out, Florida Surgeon General Joseph &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1008237","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1008237","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1008237"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1008237\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1008237"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1008237"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1008237"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
