Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect!
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The little dictator, DeSantis, hand picked him. Don't look for that to happen anytime soon.
Alas, malpractice is a matter for States to decide. Each state has a Board of Medical Examiners, e.g. Florida Board of Medicine(https://flboardofmedicine.gov/). I don't suppose it would go far, but it would be interesting to test, by reporting Florida Surgeon General Joe Ladapo to the board. The board's job is to protect citizens from malpractice, so it's worth a try.

It will be fine as long as he isn't a president of harvard
All going according to plan for these fuckers
The people most likely to believe it are geriatric republicans who wouldn’t survive Covid. They’re Killing their base.
That sounds like a net positive gain for the country, though.
I can agree, they will take down many others wit them on their way down though.
Florida man here (sigh). Was at the Dr for a routine physical a month ago. My doc is a stand-up guy and very well versed in dealing with the crazies down here. When it came time to discuss vaccinations, he said, "so, have you gotten the flu vaccine yet?". I noted that I had an appointment at CVS later that day. Then he said, "and the Florida Surgeon General recommends that people under the age of 65 do not get the Covid vaccine..." (I am well under 65) and let it hang in the air. We stared at each other for a few seconds. Then I said, "yup, getting that one at CVS later too." He sighed, said "ah, perfect" and moved things along. As it turns out, the hospital the doc is affiliated with had sent out several memos about exactly what should/should not be said to both try and encourage people to get vaccinated but NOT incur the wrath of the state. It's a different world down here...
Howdy neighbor.
You really can't believe anything that is said by a member of the Florida state government. You can almost assume that the truth is the exact opposite of what they say, but probably not even then.
Hey remember the time Desantis had the Florida state police raid that public health official's house at 2am because she dared to talk publicly about the covid positivity rates?
If a person wanted the best results for themselves and their family, they should look to the experts of the states with the best results. FL's results are not the best, thus the recommendations of FL's experts can be safely ignored.
I'd hope that those who really do want that (and don't just like to grandstand about how much they love their family) would have already noticed that the GOP should be ignored where possible because if they are giving any kind of advice, there's an angle to it.
Terrifying.
