Florida's partial reversalA few months into the pandemic, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis thought it’d be a good idea toof hydroxychloroquine. The Republican governor either didn’t know or didn’t care that the medication was ineffective against Covid-19, and medical professionals throughout the state had no interest in the drug that was irrelevant to the public health crisis.
More than a year later, the Biden administration dropped two antibody Covid treatments when the drugmakers themselves conceded they were ineffective against the omicron variant. DeSantis, saying the White House should continue to make the treatments available anyway because ... well, the Floridian never fully explained why he wanted the public to have access to medications that don’t work.
Now, as young children finally become eligible for Covid vaccines, 49 states have ordered doses for the public. NBC NewsFlorida parents with kids under 5 years old may find themselves waiting longer than the rest of the country to get their youngest children vaccinated against Covid since state officials have decided not to order any doses for that age group.
But DeSantis — the one who ordered a million unused doses of hydroxychloroquine and demanded delivery of antibody treatments that don’t work — said yesterday that his administration would not to order the vaccine for Florida’s children.this morning, “Florida is the only of the 50 states not working with the administration to give parents the choice of taking their child to their pediatrician to get their youngest kids vaccinated.
It’s an important point: DeSantis wasn’t just making a recommendation that’s at odds with federal public health officials, he also appeared to make a decision about his state’s vaccine supply. If parents in Florida disagreed with their far-right governor, and wanted to protect their young children from a dangerous contagion, those parents would've found it vastly more difficult than families in literally every other state.
He is a bully.
And yet you would gladly elect him President.
And he was right all the way. Thank God Florida had him in Office. We need 49 more Gobernors just like this one.
He's a lot more credible than anything coming out of DC. Voters tend to agree.
The people of Florida are getting just what they voted for. Let's hope the sh8t does not slop out to the to the rest of the country that loves democracy, hope and honer.
cagney1991 Sorry, Florida. Elect an Evil Clown, expect a Deadly Circus.
So you expect everyone agrees with every politician? Really, I don't see you post much about the people who disagree with your side. He GovRonDeSantis has been proven correct most of the time. I wish more politicians had his ability to know what is right for their state.
🤮
Get it out now…because in 2024 you’ll be referring to him as president Desantis.
DeSantis is going to 💰 dearly come in November.
I refuse to believe the opinion of a self centered ignorant individual being advised by a witch doctor!
Leaving it up to individual doctors and medical facilities rather than a government mandate is not at odds with freedom loving Americans. It’s only at odds with Democrats and Progressives who believe big government is the answer to everything.
DeathSanta
guess this is one way to protect children from gun violence and all the pedos of the GOP. let Covid kill them while they're young.
Why doesn’t the state of Florida sue him. These parents have the rights to life preserving vaccines!
No shortage of ego monsters🙄
Ron enjoys killing Floridians.
