> Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo personally altered a state-driven study about Covid-19 vaccines last year to suggest that some doses pose a significantly higher health risk for young men than had been established by the broader medical community, according to a newly obtained document.

> Ladapo’s changes, released as part of a public records request, presented the risks of cardiac death to be more severe than previous versions of the study. He later used the final document in October to bolster disputed claims that Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines were dangerous to young men.

If that's true, shame on him. The politicization of science surrounding covid-19 is both shocking and disappointing to me.

Imagine the fallout if a democrat had done this..I bet this one won't even make the front page.

Surely this didn’t fool anyone championing intellectual skepticism though.

Does this violate "First, do no harm"?
