Florida health authorities say only people 65 and older should consider one of the new COVID-19 vaccines, in light of the dearth of clinical trial data on the shots.

Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo said in a statement that the vaccines “are not backed by clinical evidence, but blind faith alone with ZERO regard for widespread immunity.”
