This is a sound position based on science that reveals what most of us have known for several years now, that COVID-19 shots kill. They do not heal. They do not protect. They do not prevent. They kill. And the manufacturers even knew, or had reason to know, that these shots would kill people outright, but hid be-hind an umbrella of legal immunity.Inhisshortbutinterestingbook, Transcend Fear, Dr. Ladapo describes his steady evolution from a mainstream doctor holding a prestigious position at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to an even greater position of authority as Floridas Surgeon General, one of only five such State positions in America and appointed to that position thanks to Governor Ron DeSantis.
