DeSantis Locks Down Florida After Spread Of Covid Vaccination Gets Out Of Hand

TALLAHASSEE, FL—Urging residents to stay in their homes and away from medical facilities, Governor Ron DeSantis locked down Florida Friday after the spread of Covid vaccinations got out of hand. “With inoculation numbers skyrocketing across the Sunshine State, I have been forced the take the extreme measure of locking Florida down to combat the vaccine spread,” said DeSantis, explaining that until CDC data shows a sustained drop in the vaccination rate, all pharmacies and clinics would be mandated to close. “I cannot stress enough the importance of wearing bicep coverings to protect yourself from Covid vaccines. Because if gone unchecked, the Moderna and Pfizer vaccine variants could end up saving the lives of thousands of Floridians. So, please be on your guard.” At press time, DeSantis was encouraged by new evidence confirming that Florida’s life expectancy was steadily dropping.

Despite double vax I'd be really nervous if I was in a community with ANY Delta.
Far scarier than when this all began.

In future, the consensus among health experts is that ventilation regimes in schools, hotels, offices, shops etc. need dramatic improvement...

This has been the policy here for the last six months. Advice is to air your house at least half an hour a day. Schools have had to install new ventilation this summer holidays to be able to open.

Dutch Fascism is the best Fascism.

Unsupported claims once again by the guy with massive chips on his shoulders who also claims to be a millionaire.

This fellow (DeSantis) stands a fair chance of becoming the next president of the US. Fun times.

'Health Experts "Speechless" as DeSantis Taps Anti-Mask Vaccine Skeptic for Florida Surgeon General'

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis came under fire from Democratic lawmakers and public health experts following the Republican's Tuesday announcement that Dr. Joseph Ladapo—who opposes mask and coronavirus vaccine mandates—would be the state's next surgeon general.

The Miami Herald reports Ladapo, a Harvard-trained physician and researcher at the University of California, Los Angeles, will oversee the Florida Department of Health pending confirmation by the state's Republican-controlled Senate.

Known for advocating individual liberty over community-based precautions in the fight against Covid-19, Ladapo's views on masks and vaccines closely align with those of DeSantis, whose July executive order banning school mask mandates was ruled unconstitutional by a state judge the following month.

"Florida will completely reject fear as a way of making policies," Ladapo said during a Tuesday press conference in Tallahassee.

"Vaccines are up to the person. There's nothing special about them compared to any other preventive measure," he added. "The state should be promoting good health, and vaccination isn't the only path to that. It's been treated almost like a religion. It's just senseless."

According to The New York Times, Florida currently has the United States' highest number of daily Covid-19 deaths, the nation's second-highest per-capita mortality rate, and a death rate nearly three times the national average.

...

In a June opinion piece in The Wall Street Journal, Ladapo and Yale epidemiologist Harvey A. Risch wrote that "the risks of a Covid-19 vaccine may outweigh the benefits for certain low-risk populations, such as children, young adults and people who have recovered from Covid-19." The authors cited reports in the federal Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS)—which are unverified and can be filed by anyone.

From a country that mad reagan, the bushes and rump presidents, nothing more can surprise me, I'm pained that the dems can't fight back effectively.

I totally agree; from a b movie star to a mad fat spoilt brat America presidents dont command any presence including the present fogy who honestly must be living on monkey glands.
