Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis did not agree with Dr. Lisa Gwynn and removed her from the Florida Healthy Kids Board.
Florida Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis is pushing out a pediatrician from a board in charge of running the state's Healthy Kids program because of her viewpoints on vaccines for children under five. ... Patronis' office notified Dr. Lisa Gwynn, who is also serving as the president of the Florida Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, in an email sent on Wednesday.

The brief email did not go into great detail, but said that Patronis -- a Republican running for re-election this year -- was removing Gwynn from the Florida Healthy Kids Board because she had made "some very political statements that do not reflect the CFO's point of view, even going so far as to as to say that the state is 'obstruct(ing)' access to vaccines."

"The CFO does not share your opinion and believes the state has gone to great lengths to protect lives in the face of the Coronavirus," reads the email sent to Gwynn by Susan Miller, who is Deputy Chief of Staff for Patronis.

In an interview with Florida Politics, Gwynn said the Healthy Kids Board of Directors has only met once since her appointment in March.

2. The fascists are here

Every day, this becomes more and more clear, and they gladly sacrifice American lives in service to their political agenda.

5. Someone needs to sue him for practicing medicine without a license and reckless endangerment.

6. Another DeSantis enabler

Yeah, what do pediatricians know about healthy children anyway. Let it be known--if you dare defy the the DeathSatan and his anointed followers, you will suffer mightily. And maybe some children, too, but who cares about them after they leave the uterus.
