Florida Surgeon General warns against new COVID-19 booster shot ahead of FDA approval

[RandySF]

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — No mandates, no masking and no COVID-19 restrictions. That is the message from Florida Governor Ron DeSantis as other states bring back pandemic-era measures amid a rising number of infections and hospitalizations.

“We’ve ensured that this is a free state,” DeSantis, a 2024 Republican candidate for president, said in Jacksonville Thursday.

The governor reassured parents that no increase in COVID-19 transmission will lead to school closures nor will their children be required to mask up in the classroom.

“You as a parent can send your kid to school and the school can’t force them to wear a muzzle all day,” he said to cheers in the room. “They’re allowed to breathe.”

1. Dear Gawd ... DeSantis sees spreading a deadly disease as being a political benefit to him.

This is beyond sick. "They" have taken a straight forward medical science public health issue and have
made it political and our good friends the Russians are right now cyber attacking America with disinformation
about the vaccine, the vaccine's side effects, and why masks are bad.

As of now 100% of Americans who die of c-19 are un-vaccinated.

2. A free state!

Free to spread your Covid everyplace!



On edit: maybe we could send J.D. Vance down there since he is such an anti masker. Breathe deep, J.D.!

[Mr.Bill]

30. Unless you're a teacher,

or a librarian, or...

[gab13by13]

3. I think Florida is the test case

for an authoritarian government.

[Delphinus]

7. Sure

seems like it.

[marmar]

4. Least free most authoritarian state in the union.....

[Takket]

5. Imagine being such a depraved person that you are willing to lie about

Something knowing that lie will literally kill people.

[ITAL]

14. I think he believes it

The anti-vax, anti-mask people still won't shut up about it. A guy I know from back in the day posts at least five "studies" or "news" items a week talking about how none of it worked.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

6. Who cares?

The Florida Surgeon General is a nut case

[hlthe2b]

8. I have to wonder if his immunity as a state official would hold up to a MASSIVE class action

brought by family members of those hundreds (thousands? tens of thousands?) who have died or will die unnecessarily after taking his advice. I know it would not be an easy task to prove these excess deaths are a result of his irresponsible propaganda, but torts have been won for less.

One can dream...

[RKP5637]

11. K&R!!! n/t

[LiberalFighter]

9. Killing off his supporters.

[RKP5637]

10. Governor Death, Meatball Ron DeNazi edict for death. n/t

[Blues Heron]

12. it is so painful to hear this disinformation coming from a sitting governor.

How the have we sunk so very very low? This one of the worst things a leader can do - mislead their people. It is nothing but evil.

Its a bad virus - deal with it.

[RKP5637]

15. This asshole is worthless in just about every way unless you are a MAGA fool. n/t

[Blues Heron]

20. even after all this time with these freaks my mind is still boggled!

[RKP5637]

22. Yep! They constantly come up with something new that is dreadful. n/t

[Elessar Zappa]

24. Republican leaders have been misleading the public

for 50 years. Now it’s on steroids.

[Recycle_Guru]

13. what a bunch of rethuglican assholes

[lpbk2713]

16. It's strange to hear him refer to PPE as a muzzle.

But then, "strange" is what he does best.

[hlthe2b]

17. He'd change his tune if a confirmed infectious Ebola case departed a plane in Tallahassee

and had exposed a lot of people in the community before being detained and hospitalized. Something about a highly fatal HEMORRHAGIC virus that gets the attention of even the most cretinous among the ill-informed politicos.

[Raftergirl]

18. I bet he is vaxxed to the max as are his children and his wife.

Ditto the Surgeon General.

Would also likely double dose themselves with Plaxlovid.

I can assure you they do not want to get Covid.

[kimbutgar]

19. I would consider it poetic Justice if he or a family member gets Covid and has it long term or dies

Karmic payback

Idiotic fraudulent political doctor.

[Shermann]

21. The governor reassured parents that no action will be taken to mitigate any exponential spread

...of the virus.

Don't you feel reassured?

[slightlv]

23. Thousands of Floridians

will die unnecessarily. It truly is sad, but it does have a positive outcome in the long run -- less Magats voting. And, most of the voter fraud we saw last election came out of Florida from their republican constituency. Still, the loss of life in lieu of getting something as simple as a "jab" is so sad. I just really hope the death toll concentrates on mid life people this time around, and spares the elderly and children.

[milestogo]

25. Free to be stupid.

[tanyev]

26. Good luck, Florida DUers.

[Botany]

31. DeSantis went to Yale and then Harvard Law. He knows

..... that his policies are deadly and plans to use those
deaths and physical/mental tolls to gain political advantage. The real truth about DeSantis' sick ass operations should shut him down he is not a nice guy.

[Demovictory9]

35. Exactly

[onethatcares]

27. "wear a muzzle all day"

which is exactly what he expects everyone to do concerning equality, diversity and knowledge.

[Blues Heron]

29. that was a nice little bit of projection there on his part - thats exactly what they want

[liberal_mama]

28. He is a deranged Pro-Covid Plague Spreader who enjoys giving bad advice. He loves it when people die

or become disabled. What a disgusting death cultist quack!

[Botany]

32. ADX SUPER MAX

The man is spreading death and pain to gain power
and money. Lock him up.

[EleanorR]

33. What shit "reporting"

Just he said / she said complete and utter crap.

[Kennah]

34. DeSantis betting on dead Floridians voting

[allegorical oracle]

37. Apparently, DeSatan and his minions want everyone to leave Fla. nt

[HAB911]

38. Let them commit suicide

I for one will enjoy the show
