America’s beloved COVID governor acts coercively to prevent vaccinations, implicitly endorses anti-vaxx misinformation
Remember that Times story about how the explosion in COVID cases in Florida was a complete mystery because the governor had made a “strong push” to get people vaccinated? About that:
At the Ron DeSantis press conference today, a guest claimed that the COVID vaccines change your RNA which is absolutely false.
I'm putting this longer clip here so you can see that DeSantis did nothing to correct this misinformation, which is prevalent in he anti-vaxx movement. pic.twitter.com/Sqq7RbaHF2— Josh Jordan (@NumbersMuncher) September 13, 2021
Why do all these anti-vaxx crackpots keep showing up at Ron DeSantis’s press conferences?
His policy is, of course, even worse:
Gov. DeSantis says that cities and counties that require vaccines for public employees will face a $5,000 fine per infraction — potentially millions of dollars in fines to local govts.— Steve Contorno (@scontorno) September 13, 2021
The Republican Party being taken over by total sociopaths seems bad, to me.
