Clyburn hits DeSantis: Reverse or explain 'inexplicable' decision over child COVID-19 vaccines

House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) demanded that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) reverse or explain his decision after he declined to order COVID-19 vaccines for children under 5 years of age.

In a letter sent Friday, Clyburn, the chairman of the the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis, added that he was concerned by DeSantis’s public comments that he is opposed to dedicating any state resources to vaccinating young children against COVID-19.

He stressed that every state but Florida ordered vaccines after the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Friday gave the green light to COVID-19 vaccines for children ages 5 and younger.

Clyburn said that because of the governor’s “deliberate inaction,” pediatricians and family doctors across Florida are currently unable to order doses.

Here's DeSatan telling parents what to do about vaccines (NONE of his F'ing BUSINESS!!!!!) while he's the Governor of Florida? Is it HIS right to tell people in his state how and what to do with their bodies - and those in their family? But he's not the first......
Let's go WAY back to 1990 when Terri Schiavo fell and hit her head. She was determined to be in a 'vegatative state' and her husband wanted the feeding tubes removed to allow her 'peace.'
The Bush gang, GW and Jeb, took it all to court and made the situation linger on and on and on................
These 'people' believe that it is their 'right' to tell people what they can do - or NOT do - with their own bodies - no matter HOW intrusive the matter is on the part of the "wise politicians!"
How can they 'fight' so hard for the 'rights' of people - and then claim that THEY have the power to decide what those 'rights' will be?
