    Florida health officials warn against new COVID booster, contradicting
    CDC guidance

    SARASOTA, Fla. — Contradicting guidance from the Centers for Disease
    Control and Prevention, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and the state’s top
    health department official recommended residents against getting a new
    COVID-19 vaccine booster.

    Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo and the Republican governor, who
    is also running for president, discussed the state's new vaccine
    guidance on Wednesday during a panel discussion with health
    professionals who were critical of the shot. Ladapo announced that state
    health officials will warn anyone under the age of 65 against getting
    the new boosters recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration.

    DeSantis strongly promoted COVID-19 vaccines when they were first
    released but has since become one of the most prominent public officials raising questions about their safety, even as federal health officials
    insist that the benefits of the shots outweigh any risks.

    “I will not stand by and let the FDA and CDC use healthy Floridians as
    guinea pigs for new booster shots that have not been proven to be safe
    or effective,” DeSantis said in a news release after the panel discussion.

    The governor has increasingly expressed skepticism over what he has
    called "the jab" amid his campaign for the 2024 GOP presidential
    nomination. Last week, his campaign sent out an email to supporters
    vowing to "fight back against every bogus attempt the Left makes to
    expand government control" in regards to COVID-19 precautions.

    Late summer COVID-19 spike
    Wednesday's announcement comes as Florida hospitals are reporting more
    COVID cases than any other state. Florida’s pandemic death toll has
    surpassed 90,000 and the weekly new cases topped 24,000 for two
    consecutive weeks.

    Since early July, the United States has seen a spike in COVID hospital admissions. And it's likely infections are rising too but since federal authorities ended the public health emergency in May, states and the CDC
    no longer track positive infections.

    In an effort to stop the disease from spreading, some schools,
    hospitals, and businesses have temporarily implemented mask requirements
    or have recommended masking up again. And despite there being no
    widespread COVID mandate, Republicans have been pushing back against
    COVID recommendations."
