Oh dear... Ladapo has a public history of promoting unproven treatments
for COVID, writing an op-ed in the New York Daily News in 2020
touting
the drug hydroxychloroquine—which the World Health Organization warned
is not an effective prevention or treatment method for COVID.
He also appeared with and praised
America's Frontline Doctors,
a group of
pro-Trump health care workers that has spread misinformation about the
pandemic.
Earlier this month, Ladapo recommended that men aged 18 to 39 should
not be vaccinated against COVID-19, citing a disputed analysis. He has
also opposed gender-affirming care and counselling, hormonal therapies,
related medications for transgender and nonbinary children, and social
transitions, contradicting recommendations by the AAP, the Endocrine Society,
and other organisations.
Florida has among
the highest number of coronavirus cases, hospitalisations
and deaths in the US. Over the past 28 days [23 September], there have
been nearly 425,000 confirmed cases in the state, according to Johns Hopkins
University, and more than 9,100 deaths. Florida's COVID hospitalisations
reached a record high of over 16,000 in mid-August 2022 according to the
Florida Hospital Association.
—In short then... Ladapo is a quack. End of story.
