A doctor skeptical of many Covid-19 health measures will be Florida's new state surgeon general, Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Tuesday.
Speaking at a press conference, DeSantis, a Republican, said Dr. Joseph Ladapo will become Florida's next surgeon general.
"Joe has had a remarkable academic and medical career," DeSantis said, adding that Ladapo graduated from Wake Forest University, received his medical degree from Harvard Medical School and Ph.D. from Harvard Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.
After recent burglaries at homes of professional athletes – including Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce – the NFL and NBA have issued security memos to teams and players warning that “organized and skilled groups” are increasingly targeting players’ residences for such crimes.
