DeSantis doubles down on anti-science campaign as COVID explodes in Florida
To hear Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' pitch, you'd think that his state's battle against the pandemic has ended in a roaring, unalloyed victory, and it's all due to him.
The key to Floridas success has been protecting the most vulnerable, i.e. seniors and residents of long-term care facilities, a DeSantis spokeswoman told the Tampa Bay Times last week.
The Republican governor himself has been fundraising whether for a reelection campaign in 2022 or a presidential run in 2024 isn't clear off his resistance to imposing lockdowns and mask regulations on Floridians.
I refused to blindly follow Dr. Fauci...and allow him to strip Floridians of their Gawd-given freedumbs.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, in fundraising appeal
Sadly, all this crowing assumes a fact not in evidence: that Florida's battle with COVID has been a "success."
