A Florida Lawyer is Bringing Goats to the Governor's Mansion in Protest: 'Grim Reaper' Tour




https://www.law.com/dailybusinessreview/2020/09/23/a-florida-lawyer-is-bringing-goats-to-the-governors-mansion-in-protest-grim-reaper-tour/

When Florida civil litigator Daniel Uhlfelder watched Gov. Ron DeSantis appear at a press conference with a neuroradiologist who’s pushed for “herd immunity” in response to COVID-19, he hatched a plan.

Oh, and it involves goats.

“I thought, ‘Well, what kind of image or statement could encapsulate the danger of herd immunity? The image would be a herd of some sort of animals,” Uhlfelder said.

Enter: the goats. Or rather, the kids, which are baby goats. Uhlfelder will bring them to the governor’s mansion in Tallahassee at 2 p.m. Wednesday to protest what he calls a rejection of science.

Much of Uhlfelder’s alarm comes from White House COVID-19 adviser Dr. Scott Atlas, who’s advocated for allowing the virus to spread so that large groups of the population develop resistance. Atlas has pointed to Sweden, which never imposed lockdowns or closed businesses the way the U.S. did. Sweden has had 88,237 confirmed cases and 5,865 deaths as of Wednesday, according to the World Health Organization.
