Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo criticized the rollout of the latest iteration of COVID-19 vaccines after approval from the CDC and FDA—blasting the federal agencies for a lack of sufficient clinical trials.

Dr. Ladapo said that the vaccines never underwent significant trials with a large enough sample population, and in the rare instance they did, the trials did not go on long enough to study the effects properly. New detailed studies are needed, he claimed, given the evolutionary nature of the virus.
