It’s no secret Senate Republicans are often late to the party when it comes to confronting critically important issues. But their overwhelming silence on the potential risks associated with the Covid-19 jabs is a whole new level of disgraceful.
Since their rollout two years ago, mounting medical data has indicated these shots are not as “safe” and “effective” as marketed. An analysis from Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo, for example, found “an 84% increase in the relative incidence of cardiac-related death among males 18-39 years old within 28 days following mRNA vaccination.” In citing the analysis, Ladapo officially updated his office’s guidance on the shots in October, advising against giving them to 18-39-year-old males.
Ladapo’s office issued similar guidance in March 2022 advising against offering the experimental jabs to children under 18 due to the “[l]imited risk of severe illness” posed by the virus, the “[h]igh prevalence of existing immunity,” and the risk of myocarditis, among others. At the request of Gov. Ron DeSantis, the Florida Supreme Court impaneled a grand jury in December to investigate potential “wrongdoing” by the shot’s manufacturers.

But it’s not just Florida that’s concerned about the overall safety of the Covid jabs. Countries such as Germany, France, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, and Norway have all recommended against “the distribution of the Moderna Covid shots for individuals under the age of 30,” with all of them “citing the documented risk of heart inflammation among young people as justification.”
