Florida's DeSantis wants to hand out taxpayer dollars to businesses that defy vaccine mandates

Florida is one of a handful of states that now ensures people who refuse the shot remain eligible for unemployment benefits if they lose their job over their stance. Iowa, Kansas and Tennessee -- all governed by Republicans -- have done the same.And DeSantis, one of the leading Republican voices against federal vaccine requirements, wants to go even further.

Watson, the Johns Hopkins professor, said these new laws were"very contradictory to the messaging public health is putting out, which is based on science and evidence." "It's really dangerous from that perspective," Watson said.After signing Iowa's bill, Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds said in a statement that it was a matter of ensuring health decisions remain personal.

He is crazy.

Why was that money never used for covid relief as it should have been. I think an investigation is in order.

What in the actual fuck is wrong with him.

I have a better idea. Pay the people who trust the science to hunt down people putting our lives at risk :)

Bye, bye, cnn until Chris comes back… trade him for Jake T!!

Save your life, GET VACCINATED!! Don’t listen to Ron DeSantis, why does he accept his wife get chemo treatments? Coz he knows he needs his wife alive for him and his children! So…What’s the difference here? Don’t listen! Get vaccinated!

Keep that Florida tag strong! Florida

Pathetic!!

If he continues to abuse his power the Biden administration should withhold funding to Florida! He’s giving taxpayers money away and he is not being fiscally responsible. He is doing everything possible to keep himself in the news including killing everyone in Florida.

Seriously

Ghislaine Maxwell

Sounds like he wants to pay people to spread disease.

Mr gov, is that money you give for unvaccinated, for their funerals ?

Sick

Florida - is anyone surprised?

Communism!

Thank the Democrats for this! Now both parties are giving monthly checks for votes. So sleazy

gal_suburban WTF?

If tax payers money can be given freely to Israel and Ukraine for wars, how much more legit Americans who truly deserve.

Money should not be give. To Florida state gov. Send it directly to hospitals.

Welfare for the unvaccinated. And then free hospitalization when they get ill. Florida: the Socialist State.

And I’ll not spend a dime in any business that defies any vaccine mandate. Enough of this crazy detrumpis bs hear that GovRonDeSantis?

Socialism!

So in other words Ron Desanti is supporting and promoting the deaths of his constituents 🤔

I thought the GQP hated handouts?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 unemployment BAD!!!! Hey, kid, wanna spread a virus? K'mere, take some of this cash and keep yer mouth shut.

What a fking mess America is

That's called 'Buying votes'

At what point will the media call Donald Trump, GOP, QAnon, Fox News, Ron DeathSantis & Proud Boys the Axis Of Evil?

How shortsighted. “Democracy cannot succeed unless those who express their choice are prepared to choose wisely. The real safeguard of democracy, therefore, is education.” ― Franklin D. Roosevelt

This 'Gov' is just trying to be president DeathSantis
