Vermont Rep. Becca Balint Makes Several Attempts to Discredit Dr. Joseph Ladapo About Florida’s Covid Response

EXCERPT:

BALINT: "Are you a specialist in infectious diseases?"

LADAPO: "I am board-certified in internal medicine, and internal medicine doctors take care of a wide variety of patients, especially — "

BALINT: "I said, are you a specialist — I asked a very specific question: Are you a specialist in infectious diseases?"

LADAPO: "I’m board-certified in internal medicine — "

BALINT: "Okay, the answer, I guess, is no, which is okay."

LADAPO: "We take care of patients with infectious diseases."

BALINT: "Okay, we're moving on. Are you a specialist in epidemiology?"

LADAPO: "I have PhD training in epidemiology."

BALINT: "I see where you're going. Okay, so you are not — you are not a specialist in epidemiology either."

LADAPO: "I have PhD training in epidemiology and biostatistics and health economics."
