Joseph Abiodun Ladapo (born December 16, 1978)[1] is the surgeon general of Florida since 2021.[2] He has been warned by the CDC for promoting COVID-19 misinformation,[3] vaccine hesitancy, and opposing various measures to control COVID-19.[4][5][6] "This has led to unnecessary death, severe illness and hospitalization."[3]
After immigrating to the United States from Nigeria, Ladapo earned an M.D. and a Ph.D. in Health Policy from Harvard University. He served as a professor of medicine at New York University before being tenured at the University of California, Los Angeles, prior to his appointment to his current position by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Ladapo promoted unproven treatments, opposed vaccine and mask mandates, questioned the safety of COVID-19 vaccines, and contradicted professional medical organizations.[7][8][5]
Ladapo has opposed gender-affirming care and counseling for transgender and nonbinary minors. [9][10][11]
