A former supervisor of the controversial pick said he created 'stress and acrimony' over his opinions on the effectiveness of masks, lockdowns and vaccines.
reported that the background check for DeSantis' controversial nominee included a former supervisor at UCLA who said they would not recommend him for the position of surgeon general. The supervisor said Ladapo created"stress and acrimony" during his time at UCLA over his opinions on the university's COVID restrictions and policies and his public opinions disputing the effectiveness of masks, lockdowns and vaccines.
"No. In my opinion the people of Florida would be better served by a surgeon general who grounds his policy decisions and recommendations in the best scientific evidence rather than opinions," the unnamed former supervisor told investigators conducting the background check. "It's unfortunate that a single comment from a disgruntled supervisor would find facilitating discussions a cause for concern, especially during such an ever-evolving medical landscape," Jeremy Redfern, press secretary for the Florida Department of Health, toldThe background check also included positive recommendations from other colleagues, and Redfern said the attempt to"smear" Ladapo with the publication of the negative comment should not overshadow his prior...
In the first of two Senate committee hearings that preceded his full confirmation vote, Ladapo was accused of not sufficiently answering questions from several on the Health Policy Committee, which led the lawmakers to walk out of the hearing in protest.
