Fox News
While speaking at a Thursday news conference for Governor Ron Desantis in Jacksonville, Florida, Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo advised people to not get the updated booster vaccine for COVID-19.
"There’s a new vaccine that’s coming around the corner, a new mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, and there’s essentially no evidence for it," Ladapo said during the news conference, according to local news outlets. "Additional fearmongering about an effective and safe vaccine is not helpful. It is an individual choice." "Getting boosted is a personal decision — one that must be made in conjunction with your physician, who can best determine your risk-benefit ratio." Melissa Rudy is health editor and a member of the lifestyle team at Fox News Digital.
"There’s been no clinical trial done in human beings showing that it benefits people" he said.
