DeSantis faces deepening controversy over vaccines for ultra-rich Florida community

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said "the state was not involved" in helping to vaccinate 1,200 residents of the super-rich Ocean Reef community in January.

But both the hospital system that supplied the doses and Monroe County have contradicted his claims, saying the state authorized the vaccines, the Tampa Bay Times and Miami Herald report.

Why it matters: DeSantis has faced increasing criticism for directing vaccines toward wealthy communities.

Some of those who benefitted from the vaccine pop-ups also donated to the governor's political action committee, which has pulled in almost $4 million.

Why haven’t they figured out yet that people would be paying attention to where vaccine doses were going?

Too dumb to serve.

This is textbook political corruption, and the Miami Herald continues to debunk DeSantis' ever-changing story. In a couple of days we'll probably find out Ocean Reef Club residents less than 65-years-old were also receiving Covid-19 vaccine shots back in January.

He must be politically ruined for this. This is not right at all.
