Wasserman-Schultz Calls For Ousting “Super-Spreader” Florida Surgeon General As Measles Outbreak Widens

This surgeon general is totally unqualified for his position.  He was picked for his political stance and willingness to lie and edit official studies to shore up DeathSatnis’s political positions.   When DeathSantis tried to force the state University to make give him a position and a high salary, the school refused saying he was totally unqualified.  For those that don’t know, measles is extremely dangerous, leading to lifelong illnesses and medical issues such as losing your ability to hear, along with death.  Measles also kills your immune system so you lose all prior immunities and can make it so your system struggles to gain the immunity to other diseases.   Below I listed some of the things that can happen.   Measles are not a joke, you do not want your child exposed to the real thing, get them vaccinated.  Hugs.  Scottie

Long-term effects of measles

For every 10,000 children infected with measles, 2,000 will be hospitalized; 1,000 will develop ear infections with the potential for permanent hearing loss; 500 will develop pneumonia; and 10 to 30 will die, said Hotez, who is also dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine. 

Measles often leaves patients vulnerable to secondary bacterial infections, such as pneumonia, one of the most common causes of death in measles patients, said Patricia Stinchfield, president of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases.

Measles also causes “immune amnesia,” in which the immune system loses its ability to fight infections that a patient was previously immune to, Cherry said. The virus wipes out 11% to 73% of a person’s antibodies — both those acquired through infection and vaccination — which can leave patients at increased risk from viruses such as the flu and bacteria that cause pneumonia and skin infections.  A devastating long-term complication of measles called subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, which is more common in countries where the virus remains endemic. The fatal condition can cause memory loss, irritability, disturbances in movement, seizures and blindness, and can develop six to eight years after a child has apparently recovered from measles. Although anti-seizure drugs can sometimes ease symptoms, they don’t cure the disease.  Encephalitis. About 1 child out of every 1,000 who get measles will develop encephalitis (swelling of the brain) that can lead to convulsions and can leave the child deaf or with intellectual disabilityDeath. Nearly 1 to 3 of every 1,000 children who become infected with measles will die from respiratory and neurologic complications.

 

 

Miami’s NBC affiliate reports:

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz held a press conference on school safety measures Tuesday and called for the replacement of Florida’s surgeon general — as the measles outbreak in South Florida continues to expand.

She called for the termination of Dr. Joseph Ladapo and for Governor DeSantis to replace him with a public health expert, following the surgeon general’s controversial handling of the outbreak.

Ladapo told parents of unvaccinated children that it is their choice whether their students attend class — a contravention of federal guidelines calling for their mandatory exclusion. “Surgeon General Ladapo is a misinformation super-spreader,” Rep. Wasserman Schultz said during the press conference.

Tampa’s Fox affiliate reports:

 


The measles outbreak has made its way to Central Florida. Over the weekend, the Florida Department of Health confirmed a tenth case out of Polk County.

The case is travel-related, and the patient is between 20 and 24 years old, making them the first Florida adult to be infected with the virus this year.

It comes after nine children and teens were infected with measles in Broward County. Measles is extremely contagious. Unvaccinated people have about a 90% chance of being infected if exposed.

 

Dr. Joseph Ladapo is a threat to public health, the exact opposite of his job description.
Want to bet Death Santis keeps him?

He was a campaign prop for the anti-masking and anti-vaccination hysteria. Now that that’s died down, there is no reason to keep him around.

In a sane world, his license to practice would be revoked.

In a sane world, he wouldn’t be the person who had to sign off on revoking medical licenses.

if kids go deaf, or they die, or are sick for a month, it’s a small price to pay for freedom from an overreaching dictatorship of democratically elected government.

But if measles made them gay, there would be a stampede of parents getting their children vaccinated.

It just boggles the mind that vaccines have become a partisan issue.

As Surgeon-General, Ladapo would be the one to sign off on any revocations. He is not going to quit this sweet gig that pays well and gives his quackery a veneer of legitimacy.

Waiting for the Florida surgeon general to declare that measles is a hoax.

The reality is the majority of FL voters have made clear they’re okay with having this quack and the party that enables him in charge.
Until that changes, he won’t be going anywhere.

 

Let’s talk about measles in 2024….

FL Surgeon General: It’s Up To Parents Of Unvaxxed If Children Should Attend Class During Measles Outbreak

And this scammer con artist who has been accused of falsifying the results of a “vaccine injury risk” study along with being debunked by the large medical organizations, is taking the political way forward rather than protect the children by telling parents the best thing they can do is get their child vaccinated.  If you are anti-vaccine think about this, the only children at risk are the unvaccinated!   What does that tell you!   Hugs.  Scottie


 

The Daily Beast reports:

While measles cases are popping up across the country, nowhere has been hit as hard as Manatee Bay Elementary School in Weston, just west of Fort Lauderdale. There, a single case reported Thursday spiraled into a half-dozen infected students by Tuesday evening. John J. Sullivan, a spokesperson for Broward County Public Schools, said the school underwent a deep cleaning and was safe for vaccinated students to continue going to class this week.

Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo wrote a letter Tuesday that urged the parents of unvaccinated students to keep them home until the school is confirmed to be rid of measles entirely. He said the infectious period would likely be over by March 7, and that the district would provide materials to keep the students learning while they’re physically away from school.

Read the full article. According to school officials, around 11% of the students have not gotten the traditional childhood vaccinations. Ladapo, as most of you surely know, is infamously anti-vax and has been accused of falsifying the results of a “vaccine injury risk” study.

 

Measles is mainly airborne – a “deep cleaning” is theater, not protection. A sane state would forbid unvaxxed kids at school, but of course a sane state would have no unvaxxed kids except for the very rare ones who can’t tolerate or respond to vaccinations.

Not only is Ladapo’s letter to parents full of very bad advice (like deferring to parents to decide whether or not to expose their unvaccinated children to a virus that can be deadly, or allow those children who may already be infected to spread it to others at school), it’s appalling that nowhere in his letter does he urge the parents of unvaccinated students to get them vaccinated. How does this guy still have a medical license?

The Florida Board of Medicine “consists of fifteen members appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate.”

https://flboardofmedicine.g…

The surgeon general is supposed to be a public safety officer.

What the hell is this guy doing in this position?

MAGA loving Ron DeathSentence.

The answer is…(drum roll)…Florida!

As much damage as he can, while he grifts,

Collecting a no show paycheck.

Two or three of them. He got a couple university positions in the bargain for an income of around $430,000.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, this outbreak is in Weston, which is ranked a few slots below Palm Beach as Florida’s seventh-wealthiest city.

In January 2024, Weston home prices were up 90.9% compared to last year, selling for a median price of $3.1 million.

Almost like science never happened except that: He. Knows. The. Science. And. Chooses. To. Ignore. It.
 

“until the school is confirmed to be rid of measles entirely”

I’m curious, since he doesn’t trust scientists to say what will help fight measles, who does he trust to say the school is confirmed to be rid of it? An exorcist?

He’ll bring the pink-haired prophetess in. If she doesn’t know, no one does.

And they’ve already decided that childhood diseases are no big deal. Never mind that measles can cause encephalitis, blindness, sterility…

Natural Herd Immunity did this…

Of course there is no natural immunity to something your immune system hasn’t contacted, so naturally, this happens.

It is said the sheep follow the Shepherd…
Yet no one discusses that it is the Shepherd who eats the sheep.

 
 

Canadian Doctor Shot By IDF Describes Gaza’s Devastated Medical System | Dr Tarek Loubani | TMR

Please watch this video.   It is so important to understand just what Israel is doing to hospitals, medical providers, and how they just don’t see any Palestinian or their supporters as humans, as people.  To the Israelis, they are all something to be wiped out, to be terrorized to nonexistence.  Hugs.  Scottie

Emma speaks with Dr. Tarek Loubani, associate professor at the University of Western Ontario and leader of the Glia Project, to discuss what is happening on the ground now that hospitals in Gaza are mostly non-operational.

Dr. Thaer Ahmad, emergency room physician and assistant program director of the Advocate Christ Emergency Medicine Residency Program, discusses his recent experience volunteering at the Al Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis in the Gaza Strip.

Total Chaos: What A Palestinian American Doctor Saw In Gaza

Thaer Ahmad then walks through his assessment of the already shaky state of the healthcare system in pre-October 7th Gaza, as well as his relationship to the healthcare system, as a first-generation Palestinian-American doctor, before tackling the extensive effort it took to get into Gaza as a healthcare worker. Next, Dr. Ahmad explores the extreme changes in quality of life in Southern Gaza from his previous experiences providing healthcare, parsing through the impact of mass displacement into Rafah alongside the dwindling number of functioning hospitals in the region creating a system of severely overworked, underfunded, and under-resourced healthcare workers.
Dr. Ahmad explores the extreme changes in quality of life in Southern Gaza from his previous experiences providing healthcare, parsing through the impact of mass displacement into Rafah alongside the dwindling number of functioning hospitals in the region creating a system of severely overworked, underfunded, and under-resourced healthcare workers. After looking at the impact of the mass starvation and water scarcity on health, Thaer explores the constant siege on hospitals, even in the south of Gaza, and the clear goal of extending the ethnic cleansing until Gaza is gone, also expanding on the massive impact of the violent occupation on children in Gaza.
