Florida's new COVID-19 booster guidance is straight-up misinformation.

From CBS News: "In what has become a pattern of spreading vaccine misinformation, the Florida health department is telling older Floridians and others at highest risk from COVID-19 to avoid most booster shots, saying they are potentially dangerous. Clinicians and scientists denounced the message as politically fueled scaremongering that also weakens efforts to protect against diseases like measles and whooping cough."

Florida's new COVID booster guidance is straight-up misinformation

State Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo spread anti-vaccine misinformation by telling Floridians to avoid mRNA vaccines. Vaccine experts and historians can't remember another state health leader urging residents to avoid an FDA-approved vaccine.

His remarks were the latest in a swirl of canards that #Trump has spread about #Haitian #immigrants, despite [#law enforcement], #local [+ #state & #federal government] officials debunking the claims [over & over & over]. Leaders in #Springfield have said the claims are harming the #community, which has been forced to #evacuate #schools, #CityHall & other buildings after receiving #threats due to Trump’s remarks.

The presidential #debate was different from the first — & not just because a new candidate faced off w/ #Trump.

This debate had moments of live fact checking.

That was a departure from the first debate, hosted by #CNN in June, in which moderators Jake Tapper & Dana Bash did not push back or debunk any of the claims made.

But the #ABC moderators during Tuesday’s debate between Trump & MVP #KamalaHarris,, fact-checked Trump 5X. They did not need to #FactCheck Harris.

Pro-#Trump group attacks #Harris for murder that took place 14 yrs ago

Preserve America #PAC is a pro-Trump group, largely funded by #billionaire #MiriamAdelson, that expects to spend $100 million in this election cycle. This ad, which comes in 30-sec & 60-sec versions, links VP #KamalaHarris, to the murder of a teenager nearly 14 yrs ago.

Harris at the time was the DA for San Francisco. The murder took place in Texas.
