“Retweet if you’d like to see this man — Dr. Joseph Ladapo — serve as the Secretary of HHS in the new Trump administration,” DeSantis wrote.

No state surgeon general acted with more thoughtfulness and integrity during the Panic than @FLSurgeonGen Joseph Ladopo. Would be a brilliant choice for HHS. https://t.co/APYoErU7ed

We have the dream team here in Florida. No surprise a lot of them are going to get called up.
This man was instrumental in keeping Florida sane while the world went mad.
The country needs him. https://t.co/dILYzWdp1Y— Frog Capital (@FrogNews) November 6, 2024
Per Florida Phoenix:
Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday endorsed his own controversial State Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo for a top health care position in the next Trump administration.
DeSantis went on social media, where he called on his followers to repost a picture of Ladapo if they want to see him serve as secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services once President-elect Donald Trump assumes office.
The agency’s website shows that HHS is meant to enhance the health and well-being of all Americans by providing effective health and human services and fostering sound, sustained advances in the sciences underlying medicine, public health, and social services.
DeSantis’ promotion of Ladapo comes days after it was reported that Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a known vaccine skeptic who endorsed Trump for president after mounting his own independent bid for president, had been touting Ladapo. ABC News reported that sources indicated that those working on a Trump transition were taking the recommendation seriously.

RFK Jr. told ABC News Ladapo is among those being considered for the position.
“We are still talking to people and he is among the people we are talking to,” he said.
“He was willing to question some of the government orthodoxies to not close the schools, to not force people to wear masks, to look actually at the safety data from the vaccines, rather than just accept the words that vaccines are safe and effective,” he added.
Robert Kennedy Jr. reportedly recommended that Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo be considered for Donald Trump’s Cabinet if the former president win Tuesday’s presidential election. Read more: https://t.co/bby81B50RZ pic.twitter.com/hUlW4pR1gO

From ABC News:
Kennedy, who has spent years fueling mistrust around safe vaccines, has recommended Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo to Trump’s transition team as a candidate for the position of United States Secretary of Health and Human Services, multiple sources told ABC News.
Sources close to Trump’s transition operation say the recommendation is being taken seriously and the team working on the transition is expected to vet Ladapo, who was appointed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in 2022, for the position.
Trump has echoed Kennedy’s comments that he sees a prominent role for Kennedy in a potential administration.
“I said focus on health, focus — you can do whatever you want,” Trump said of Kennedy in a recent appearance on the Joe Rogan podcast, adding he was completely committed to bringing Kennedy into a potential new Trump administration when asked by the podcast host.

That’s the opposite of what we’ve done in Florida. We prioritized the vulnerable and emphasized living.

RFK Jr. explained that Trump asked him to reorganize the federal health agencies, including the FDA, CDC, NIH, and USDA.
“President Trump has asked me to reorganize the federal health agencies,” RFK Jr. said.
“He’s asked me to clean up the corruption number one. Number two, end the conflicts of interest, return those agencies to their rich tradition of gold standard, empirically-based, evidence-based science, evidence-based medicine, and to end the chronic disease epidemic in this country,” he continued.
“He’s asked me specifically to measurably reduce chronic disease in our children within two years,” he added.
