Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo, M.D., has recommended against Covid mRNA vaccines and boosters for 18- to 39-year-old men because of a heightened risk of death from heart problems. He cited extensive scientific evidence for this decision and then concluded, “Florida will not be silent on the truth.” Twitter promptly decided to censor him, saying his post “violated the Twitter rules,” though it later reposted his tweet:

The Scandinavian nations of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden all agree there are serious health concerns in giving existing Covid vaccines to younger people. You’d think leftists would pay attention to such impeccably progressive sources.
