UF Health Professor Joseph Ladapo - “Vaccines are Slavery”

Just a friendly reminder that UF Health pays Joseph Ladapo $337,000 per year to make Floridians less safe.

Ladapo was installed at UF as a “fast-track” hire. His colleagues at UF “still aren’t sure what he does to earn his salary”:

He is now leading a statewide crusade against childhood immunizations, saying that immunization “drips with disdain and slavery”:

From 1994–2023, routine childhood vaccinations have prevented approximately 508 million lifetime cases of illness, 32 million hospitalizations, and 1,129,000 deaths, at a net savings of $540 billion in direct costs and $2.7 trillion in societal costs:

Your tuition pays Ladapo’s salary. Embarrassing.
