Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo’s latest diatribe against COVID-19 vaccines took on a religious bent Thursday when he told far-right podcast host Steve Bannon that the inoculations are the “Antichrist of all products.”

A day after the Ron DeSantis appointee called for the end of mRNA vaccines because he believed they could harm DNA—a claim that experts have debunked—Ladapo reiterated his baseless contentions to Bannon.

“I think it probably does have some integration at some levels with the human genome,” Ladapo said on the War Room podcast, “because these vaccines are honestly—they’re the Antichrist of all products. So I think it probably does. But I’m not saying it does.”

      Let’s be honest, he probably does have the vaccine but like most things this is to grift the stupid on behalf of Republicans.

      I saw yesterday that there’s a strong protection from the vaccine against Long Covid. Perhaps that would give him more time to contemplate his foolishness.

        this comes with the consequence that we also have to endure his foolishness.

        besides which, he’d probably write it off as a god testing him for some stupid reason
