DeSantis Pleads with Floridians to Get Vaccinated
July 21, 2021 at 3:29 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) made a direct plea to urge people to get vaccinated, noting that 95% of the new COVID cases are among those who are not vaccinated.

Said DeSantis: “These vaccines are saving lives.”

1. Too little, too late, DeSatan.

You have likely killed enough of your voters to endanger your career.

[Andy823]

2. Someone must have finally

figured out that all those dying aren't the "libs" it's their so called "base"! Thats the only reason I can think of.

[onethatcares]

18. probably more like

someone in the hierarchy or in his family got it and died.

Usually, that's how things work in Floriduh. The Virginia Graham Baker act is one of them.(has nothing to do with the tfg plague) Otherwise, we're just tourists and low priced workers in their version of paradise.

[Fullduplexxx]

24. The turn around happened right after the dow dropped 900 points so....

[Faux pas]

3. Too

little too late is the rethug way.

[Aviation Pro]

4. DeathSentence sees the writing and upcoming election loss on the wall

Smooth move with that Don't Fauci My Florida bullshit, you fucking moron.

[11 Bravo]

10. AP, you have a way with words that never grows old.

Even after all these years, I still recognize and appreciate good old-fashioned gruntspeak.

[Aviation Pro]

37. Do something 10,000 time and you become an expert

Do it a million times and it becomes embedded in your DNA.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

26. Yes, that moronic idea crashed and burned already.

Remember when John Kerry was castigated as a flip-flopper?

[aggiesal]

53. Seriously, I get so sick when I hear about John Kerry as a flip-flopper ...

Kerry said he'd voted for the Iraq resolution when there was a provision with timeline for withdraw included in the Resolution.
Bush was against the Iraq Resolution for the exact same provision because it had a timeline for withdraw and he threatened to veto.

When the timeline for withdraw provision was removed from the Resolution,
Kerry voted against it, and Bush then signed it.

So they both changed their initial vote for the exact same provision in the Iraq Resolution.

Yet Kerry got slapped with that 2 word bumper sticker phrase flip-flopper.

5. Good luck with that

On the other hand, a strong majority of unvaccinated Americans do not appear to be swayed by new tactics to encourage getting vaccinated, such as door-to-door outreach or celebrity endorsements.

Among the unvaccinated, just a quarter – or fewer – say they would be likely to get the vaccine under certain circumstances. A vast majority remain unconvinced, showing how these “vaccine holdouts” may not budge anytime soon.

The scenarios that show the most potential for motivating people are if they could get the vaccine at their doctor or primary care provider’s office (26% likely) or if they were given paid time off by their employer to receive the vaccine (25% likely).

Fewer are convinced by a celebrity or public figure they like endorsing the vaccine (14% likely) or a community volunteer coming to their door (15% likely).

In all circumstances, a majority of the unvaccinated said they would be not at all likely to get the vaccine, regardless of the outreach effort.

12. You Know

Some folks just might change their mind. While changing one's mind not a Republican strong point, a lot of those talking heads on Fox are probably vaccinated. Maybe some of the "inspired" will have a change of heart once they see what happens second hand to those who don't.

I think that's one reason the folks in states and areas surrounding New York City have much higher than normal vaccine rates (even in the rural areas). Because they've seen almost first hand what COVID can do to people. A death of a coworker last March convinced me that I wanted a vaccine. That's even though I've had a family member react very badly to getting the vaccine.

[Blue_true]

51. You made a lot of good observations.

Sometimes people seeing what they don’t want to happen to them is a powerful motivator.

I was reading something earlier about a semi-rural Nurse who cares for Covid patients and is the person who has to meet the family when a patient dies. She has seen some resistant family members leave the hospital and get vaccinated.

[liberal_mama]

6. This idiot wants to send out cruise ships with unvaccinated people!

[SheltieLover]

8. This!👆

Thankfully, the courts refused to allow that, for now.

[Iggo]

47. Pretty much two days ago, right?

[iemanja]

7. They are suddenly realizing

that their voters are dying.

[Wingus Dingus]

33. Stock market tanking, more likely.

[wryter2000]

9. You needed to be saying this about 5 months ago

God, I hate these types.

[Carlitos Brigante]

11. So now "Gov. 'Roid Rage" is a snowflake/cuck?!! Who knew... nt

[flying_wahini]

13. Too little, too late.

He has turned his head for the last year(s) and cost ? Thousands of lives.

Let’s see if they play his plea on Faux news.

[mcar]

14. Their deaths are on your hands, Ron

you disgusting, amoral, fckface.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

15. He thought he was so smart

Science equals fact

TFG mumbo jumbo =death

how the hell, did I not get into Yale and this dumbass did ?

[BGBD]

19. Mainly because he was

a good baseball player and I assume had decent enough grades and test scores to not hurt their US News rankings. That's really all IVY league admissions are about. They want to get on top of the list, and you do that by having the highest SAT/ACT and GPA averages of incoming freshmen along with the lowest acceptance rates. It's just a numbers game, they will let good athletes in to play for them if they are close enough to not hurt the numbers and they will let powerful or rich families kids in no matter what, a new library is worth it and a few kids with C averages aren't going to hurt their composite too badly.

I'd be more upset about G W Bush getting into Yale.

[onethatcares]

20. money.

of some kind probably.

[SidDithers]

16. Almost 9000 new Covid cases in Florida today...

directly related to Ronny's anti-mask, anti-vax, anti-prevention rhetoric and policies.

Sid

[snowybirdie]

17. He then said

No one needs to wear masks if vaccinated! Screw him!

[NightWatcher]

21. Jacksonville's Mayor took the entire noon news to beg along with the heads of local hospitals

for people to get vaxxed. A local state Senator (republican) posted pictures of his family getting the vaccine yesterday as well.

I'm curious to see what preachers tell their flocks this weekend.

Something is up inside the gop right now.

[LakeArenal]

22. Wow. He was against til he was for it.

[roamer65]

23. Translated: You're killing my 2022 voters.

Pukes always have a selfish reason for their actions.

[LuvLoogie]

25. Fucking fast-talking, malevolent dumbass.

He and ex-president Shit Mouth can have at it.

[East-A-Squared]

27. Too late, DeathSentence.

[Nevilledog]

28. Video

Link to tweet

[oswaldactedalone]

29. This is true?

I thought the title was from The Onipn.

[Catherine Vincent]

30. Yeah, too little too late though

What's with DeSantis and Hannity now pleading for everyone to get vaccinated. What changed their tune?

[smirkymonkey]

54. Very curious. This was a sharp and sudden about face.

It wasn't like they came to their senses gradually. Something must have them panicked.

[Blue_true]

55. The county maps showing where people are getting hospitalized.

It is all about keeping as many of their voters alive as possible. The vaccine resistors are almost entirely MAGA types.

[spanone]

31. Covering their asses, that is all they are doing. No altruism here.

Soulless fucks.

[Hassler]

32. wRong DeathSentence finally realizing this might hurt his election chances.

[Traildogbob]

34. What's he gonna do

With all the “Don’t Fauchi Florida” coozies and “can’t drink beer with a mask” shit? Give em to his supporters just before getting vented. When the dead pile up, all that money making propaganda shit will be here for all to see. You killed em bitch.

[Tadpole Raisin]

35. Thanks for nuthin

Why did it take polling for all these guys to suddenly see the light?

Oh wait, they really are being consistent. They don’t care about their constituents. They just want to stay in office and the polls are screaming that they have to sound like they are humans.

Pathetic losers

[OMGWTF]

36. Methinks that lots of R voters are going to be pushing up daisies in a couple of weeks.

They sure are a stupid bunch.

[Beacool]

38. Oh, now they've all found religion?

For months DeSantis and Abbott in TX have competed to see who was more to the Right, vying to become Trump's heir. They can both go to hell.

[TxGuitar]

39. when McCarthy was at Bedminster

Trump told him that he now has bigly investments in the vaccine companies, so everybody needs a vaccine for him to make money. Because absolutely everything any republican does is about making money or helping his "betters" make money.

[monkeyman1]

40. ME THINK'S RONNY'S POLITICAL CRAP 'OL'A IS OVER -HE'S TOAST !!

[SunSeeker]

41. So now he wants to "Fauci Florida"?

[Initech]

42. Oh so now he suddenly cares?

[DENVERPOPS]

43. My guess?????

Trump and RepubliCON party made the change after realizing that the Republican anti-vaxers were particularly susceptible to the Delta Mutation and they were gonna need every single last Republican voter in 2022 & 2024 and DeSantis should not be recommending stuff that will kill them off........

If so, it's too bad they woke up and figured that out.........

[babylonsister]

52. Many of them have had recent epiphanies.

I agree with you; the only people in truly mortal danger were/are their constituents because of their 'advice'.

[NBachers]

44. It's his GW Bush moment: Climbing atop a mountain of dead stinking Puke corpses with his squawk horn

[IcyPeas]

45. remember back in the day when it was mostly blue states with the higher rates of Covid?

yeah, they were all laughing then.

assholes

[hatrack]

46. Too late, Fucko!

It's deep into your state like Spanish Moss, like fire ants, like alligators, like red tide.

And like all of the above, you'll never get rid of it, because you're a lying, homicidal, lying piece of shit who screwed the pooch.

[ad121rome]

48. Math

Maybe he and the Republican Party is getting better at math, lots of his voters are losing the Covid19 war. Sorry to see anyone die but if you do the math getting the vaccine is a no brainer, that’s certainly in the DeSantis wheelhouse. He’s really good at no brainers.

[KentuckyWoman]

49. Follow the money.

I know I am a broken record but if a Republican sees the light it is only the gold glittering.

Or a means to it

[Blue_true]

50. He is just singing from the new republican hymn. nt
