Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo’s latest diatribe against COVID-19 vaccines took on a religious bent Thursday when he told far-right podcast host Steve Bannon that the inoculations are the “Antichrist of all products.”

A day after the Ron DeSantis appointee called for the end of mRNA vaccines because he believed they could harm DNA—a claim that experts have debunked—Ladapo reiterated his baseless contentions to Bannon.

“I think it probably does have some integration at some levels with the human genome,” Ladapo said on the War Room podcast, “because these vaccines are honestly—they’re the Antichrist of all products. So I think it probably does. But I’m not saying it does.”

    Behind the scenes, most of these people have had the vaccine, too. That makes it so much more evil. They essentially want a percentage of the population to die? I don’t understand the end game. Is it just part of the culty stuff? Getting people to suspend their critical thinking entirely?

      yeah I’ve wondered for a long time what the ‘plan’ was, and all I can ascertain years later is: there was no plan. They thrashed and fumbled from the beginning, explaining the US’s exceptional covid death #s. And you’re entirely correct, the ones who took the vax but downplayed it to the public are the worst of the worst.
