Surgeon General asked to leave Tina Polsky’s office after refusing to wear mask
Joseph Ladapo's skirmish with Tiny Polsky was not a good move for confirmation.

FLAPOL042921CH062
Polsky will begin radiation therapy treatment for cancer next week.

Florida’s top public health official was asked to leave a state Senator’s office this week after refusing to don a mask in her office.

Sen. Tina Polsky, who was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer in August, asked state Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo and his two legislative aides to leave her office after Ladapo refused to comply with her request to put on a mask.

“I told him I had a serious medical condition,” said Polsky, who will begin radiation therapy treatment for cancer next week.

Polsky said that Ladapo had requested to meet with her in Tallahassee this week; he was making the rounds visiting several Senators who will be asked in the upcoming Session to confirm him.

Polsky said he offered to go outside when she asked him to put the mask on, but she declined.

“I don’t want to go outside,” Polsky said she told Ladapo after he made the offer. “I want you to sit in my office and talk to you.”

Polsky said there was a brief back-and-forth, and then she finally asked whether there was a reason he couldn’t wear a mask.

“He just smiles and doesn’t answer. He’s very smug,” Polsky recalled. “And I told him several times, `I have this very serious medical condition.’ And he said, ‘That’s OK,’ like it basically has nothing to do with what we are talking about.”

Eventually, Polsky said she asked Ladapo to leave her office, which he agreed to do, she said. But the Senator said before going, Ladapo remarked, “Sometimes I try to reason with unreasonable people for fun.”

Weesam Khoury, a Department of Health spokesperson, confirmed the meeting but said Ladapo didn’t make the comment.

“Dr. Ladapo is committed to meeting with members of the Legislature regardless of their party affiliation to discuss policy, even when they do not agree on the subject at hand,” Khoury said in an email. “Meetings between highly regarded and intelligent, elected and appointed officials happen all the time, and it is disappointing you don’t hear about them more — but it is probably because the only time they get reported is when a genuine meeting turns into a media headline expected from a gossip column.”

Khoury added, misspelling Polsky’s name, that she and Ladapo “are saddened to hear about Sen. Polsky’s recent diagnosis and wish her well.”

Polsky said she is taking all precautions she can to protect herself from getting infected with COVID-19. A positive test means a delay in her treatment, and she doesn’t want to take any risks.

“I really wanted to interview him. I had a lot of good questions,” Polsky said. “So that was unfortunate that I didn’t do it. But I felt really uncomfortable.”

Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Ladapo as the state’s new Surgeon General and head of the Florida Department of Health in mid-September, touting the associate professor from UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine as having “a superb background” and “bringing a superb intellect.”

Like DeSantis, Ladapo is a vocal opponent of mask mandates, government shutdowns, and vaccine mandates. In a Sept. 16 opinion article for The Wall Street Journal, Ladapo decried “a zealous pursuit of public mask-wearing,” which he said, “has had, at best, a modest effect on viral transmissions.”

        What an IGNORANT, CALLOUS comment! Due to chemotherapy, her immune system may not respond normally to the vaccine, putting her at greater risk of getting COVID than if she were not battling cancer.

        Also, have YOU or anyone you know had cancer? ONE in EVERY EIGHT WOMEN WILL get breast cancer! The “Surgeon General” should know this, and also know that chemotherapy makes one EASILY EXHAUSTED–so it’s utterly CALLOUS and MEAN to invite a CANCER PATIENT to go stand outside, just because the freakin’ “surgeon general’ doesn’t want to comply with the CDC’s NATIONAL GUIDANCE, re: masks!

        Get someone with a three-digit I.Q. to read this to you. And if you think masks are ineffective, I HOPE you get to TEST THAT THEORY, yourself! You’re definitely in the right state–and it’s called “God’s Waiting Room” for a reason (though “The Devil’s Waiting Room” is where a lowlife like you should be headed).

        While I feel for the woman with breast cancer, and though her request does seem mild & highly doable, why is EVERYONE FORGETTING that masks to prevent transmission? If one doesn’t want to catch a VIRUS, they are the ones that must wear an N95.

The stats that show the rate of transmission in schools where masks are required must be all phone stats. Maybe Mr. Trump knows who is coming up with phony statistics.

        • Jesse

          October 25, 2021 at 5:41 pm

          While N95 or KN95 masks are the most effective, almost any mask will reduce the chances of contagion. Just because a measure isn’t 100% effective doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be taken. If we took universal measures that cut transmission by a significant amount (likely 80% or so) the pandemic would soon be over. Universal masking, social distancing and vaccination would easily do this, despite the fact that none of these measures is 100% effective.

      Martha R Fletcher,

      The concerns over viruses was respected via an offer to step outside, where the risk is eliminated.

      Decling that offer demonstrated the lawmakers inability or unwillingness to respect the basic scientific tenets regarding these issues.

      That is to say, her complaint was a BS stunt.

        October 26, 2021 at 2:45 pm

        Karl
        No Ladapo did not show Senator Polsky respect at all. She has a serious health issue that he not only ignored but essentially mocked when he “suggested” they step outside. His message was clear: we talk on my terms, not yours.

        Why should Senator Polsky have to accommodate Ladapo anyhow? After all, he is asking for her confirmation vote.

        It is common courtesy, at the very least, to don a mask at a person’s request, especially when that person’s health condition is easily jeopardized as a matter of life & death.

        Furthermore, this is more than refusing to wear a mask. Ladapo’s obvious lack of judgment fails to inspire the public’s trust & confidence – as Florida’s Surgeon General.

        In sum: Ladapo puts political ideology over health concerns. That is unacceptable.

        Karl, perhaps you are unaware of the fact that anyone diagnosed with a life-threatening disease means their immune system is compromised – making the person an easy target for Covid-19 to attack.

        Perhaps you will think about a person’s situation & not be so quick to judge next time.

        You, Liza were undoubtably chattering away during high school science. Did you make it through with even a C? Just because you think things and say them out loud does not make you an expert. Vaccine mandates are now required because there are too many basic human beings that believe they know more about how viruses are spread and controlled than those who have spent their lives studying these things which is not you. Maybe you believe we are being chipped with the vaccine. Maybe you believe it contains an AI worm that will hatch. Sit down with someone who understands way more than you and give a listen about how your polio, measels, mumps and rubella vaccine work. Are those all evil, too? You’re the Quack.

      October 26, 2021 at 4:00 pm

      Liza,
      I am sure you are just as anxious to get your life back as the rest of us.

      Granted masks are uncomfortable. Masks are a pain. But masks effectively slow the spread of a highly transmissible deadly virus to where it can be controlled.

      Furthermore, masks are not just for your protection, but for protecting the people around you – e.g., your family, your kids, your parents, friends, colleagues at work, etc., in case you came into contact & got infected, but do not know it yet.

      Ande, as you know nothing is 100% effective; you also know that Covid is transmissible via air. So to prevent those particles from entering your nose or mouth wearing a mask will effectively do that.

      Liza, no matter how many times you say masks are political it still will not be true – not now, not ever.

    Having a high I.Q., graduating from a prestigious university or being successful in a competitive field does not ensure that an individual’s opinions and/or judgements are correct or more valid than others. It simply means that the rationalization for their bullsh*t will be more detailed, more complex and stated with more authority and arrogance than might be expected from others not as accomplished. Isaac Newton believed in alchemy. He also attributed the stability of the solar system, which was contrary to his calculations, as being due to Devine intervention. He was wrong in both cases.

    Ladapo is a disgrace to his profession, to this state, and to Harvard. The latter seriously needs to examine its protocols for graduating blatantly unqualified medical professionals. That our new, hand-picked by DeSantis, surgeon general doesn’t care to understand that someone who is undergoing treatment for cancer is immunosuppressed, is not only frightening, it is also an indictment on a political party that values power and greed over human lives.

    This is exactly why DeSantis appointed Ladapo Surgeon General. The Governor needed a pliant physician who would undermine public health measures necessary to fight COVID-19 (vaccines, masking, social distancing) because that is what the Governor’s base likes to hear. Ladapo is just doing the job DeSantis hired him to do. To DeSantis, he’s worth every penny of the half-million dollar salary the taxpayers are paying him.

    Since Lapado refused to articulate the basis for his refusal to don a mask to the Senator’s inquiry, one can only speculate as to the basis for that refusal. I suspect that he was trying to be “politically correct ” to impress DeSatan and his klan. He is an embarrassment to Floridians, regardless. Hopefully he will die a slow, painful death from Covid-19 before he rots in Hell.

    Interesting. Seems like each party in this situation is assuming the something about the other party regarding the status of their infection. The entire interaction could have been aided by a few simple questions. Polsky could have asked the SG ‘do you have any reason to believe you or anyone in your party are infected?’. The SG should have expected to respond out of courtesy, and based on a positive or IDK response, and under the assumption masks are helpful in preventing transmission and receipt of the virus, the SG should have offered to wear a mask. But frankly, Polsky could have simply stated ‘we’re going to assume someone in your party is affected, and protect ourselves accordingly’. That would have been the polite thing to do, as opposed to insisting that the SG don a mask. Conversely, the SG could have asked Polsky ‘do you have any reason to believe anyone in your office is infected?’ to which Polsky should have expected to respond, out of courtesy. But if not, the SG also could have said ‘we’re going to assume so, and protect ourselves accordingly’. Under that unconfirmed assumption, the SG should have been willing to either don a mask for their own protection, or at least to acknowledge the risk and their willingness to accept it.

I resent you telling her who she should or not be should be meeting. You are not in her shoes and as far as I know, not her doctor. You need to take a step back, you arrogant know it all. You are stepping over the line. You call yourself anti-mask, I think more probably a selfish, potential virus spreader with little regard for your fellow human beings.

    Aren’t the Surgeon General and Polsky both vaccinated? If not, why not? If so, why is Polsky fueling vaccine hesitancy and misinformation by suggesting the vaccine doesn’t work?

      Senator Polosky may or may not be vaccinated. That we do not know. Plus it is not the point anyhow.

      What I have learned & have come to understand is that some people with a life-threatening disease, like cancer, are not vaccinated because their immune system is too compromised. Getting vaccinated could have a negative impact on their bodies – something they understandably do not want to & should not have to deal with.

      Also, just because someone has been vaccinated does not mean they can throw away their masks. Until Covid is contained & controlled will we be free to go maskless.

      Note too, maskless people who do not know they are infected with Covid because they are asymptomatic, still spread the disease.

      Remember too, Covid particles linger in the air for hours on end.

      So it is best for everyone, whether vaccinated or not, to continue wearing a mask. It is the only thing keeping those particles from entering our bodies via our mouth &/or nostrils.

    Vaccination has NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS! See Colin Powell.

    “a zealous pursuit of public mask-wearing has had, at best, a modest effect on viral transmissions.”
    That’s because of the zealous refusal to wear masks.
    And I’ll take even a modest reduction of viral transmissions, thank you.

    Funny how all the studies before COVID and Fauci’s early remarks stated marks were ineffective. The only reason they’re recommended is to make hysterical people think they have some control. I applaud Dr Ladapo for his intelligence and character

      Funny how Dr Fauci in the early stages of Covid CLEARLY STATED that face masks were scarce and should be sent to health care workers. It’s funny that hospital workers and dentist have been wearing masks for the past six decades! Ladapo is an idiot DeSantis and Trump boot licker ….. isn’t that funny!

    There are way too many Alpha Hotels commenting here and trying to educate the ignorant here would be impossible. Far too many let politics get in the way of common sense. You cannot effectively make your point by degrading others instead of presenting facts.

    If he can’t communicate with half his face covered, I guess he never talks on the phone, writes a letter, or posts anything on the web!

    It’s just as well. He’s not worth reading.

    I don’t understand. If she’s that immune compromised, then she shouldn’t even be working. That’s like being the only sick person in entire office and expecting everyone to dance around you. That’s rather inconsiderate.

    What kind of lowlife treats a women or another human like this. Real tough guy standing up to a women with cancer. I’ve never heard of a surgeon general not caring about someone health. Disgraceful
