The doctor responsible for all of Florida: the best cure for Covid is freedom of speech and treatment

On Thursday, Governor Ron DeSantis and Florida Chief Medical Officer Dr. Joseph Ladapo questioned traditional treatments and procedures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and supported new legislation allowing doctors to follow the freedom to word and care without fear of reprisals.

Standing in front of several doctors and medical staff with signs saying "Science Uncensored," "Free Speech, Free State," and "Free Prescription," DeSantis and Ladapo spoke to a group gathered at Florida State. University of Panama City to promote legislation questioning the continued use of masks and the idea of ​​vaccination obligations.

In this context, the intervention of Dr. Ladapo was very interesting, who stated that he considered freedom of speech essential to reject what he considers "abject dishonesty" related to COVID-19

" You would think my colleagues were hooked by zombies because of the way they talked ",. “ It is really important to have a free voice. The word is the way to the truth. You cannot find the truth without freedom and this bill protects it “.

Ladapo then lifted a blue medical mask and claimed that the masks did not save lives. The doctor then cited two clinical studies conducted during the pandemic which claim that their use did not provide any real benefit during the pandemic.

"Unfortunately, right now we have a country where most of the people, including (those) politicians from all sides, think these things are saving lives ," Ladapo said. “ These objects are not saving lives. What saves lives is frankly free speech and freedom to find the truth. What saves lives is immunity, early treatment and being as healthy as possible (being). "

In his speech then Governor DeSantis was even more clear: “ We are here today to really defend the traditional practice of medicine “, “ What we have seen in the last two years has been a very politicized medical institution. … Many times, they are informed by a political ideology that unfortunately has followed too closely people like Dr. (Anthony) Fauci and whoever disagreed with him has been threatened with reprisals ”.

DeSantis' bill would not give absolute freedom of treatment, but at least it would allow doctors to express themselves freely on medical issues without fear of reprisals.

Doctors on the Health Care Protection Committee have criticized DeSantis because his law " would allow health professionals to spread misinformation, unproven treatments and other inaccurate medical information ."

So for Ladapo and DeSantis the best cure for Covid is total freedom of speech, and almost total care, for doctors. after all, without freedom there is, and cannot be, effective scientific advancement. Not even in medicine.
