Florida Surgeon General Manipulated Covid-19 Vaccine Study Results

TL;DR Summary
Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo altered an analysis released by the Florida Department of Health last year to suggest mRNA Covid-19 vaccines pose a significant health risk to men ages 18 to 39, according to Politico. Ladapo has a history of vaccine skepticism and supported Gov. Ron DeSantis’ plan to investigate “wrongdoing in Florida with respect to Covid-19 vaccines” by vaccine makers and supporters. Florida is an outlier in its recommendations against the Covid-19 vaccine for young men and healthy children, and Ladapo's changes to the analysis have been criticized for spreading misinformation.
