FROM JULY, 2021: DeSantis Delivers Full-Throated Endorsement of Covid Vaccines: ‘These Vaccines Are Saving Lives’
Mediaite ^ | July 21, 2021, 4:09 pm | Jackson Richman

Posted on 12/24/2021 9:21:23 AM PST by conservative98

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said on Wednesday that coronavirus “vaccines are saving lives” and “are reducing mortality.”

“If you are vaccinated, fully vaccinated, the chances of you getting seriously ill or dying from Covid is effectively zero,” he said. “If you look at the people being admitted to hospitals, over 95 percent of them are either not fully vaccinated or not vaccinated. And so these vaccines are saving lives.”

DeSantis also touted the vaccines for reducing mortality rates.

“They are reducing mortality. Mortality in nursing homes since we rolled out the vaccines in December is down 95 percent due to Covid. Mortality for elderly people since we rolled out the vaccines is down nearly 90 percent,” he said. “So we’re proud in Florida that we put seniors first on that list because they were the most vulnerable. We have 85 percent of our seniors that are vaccinated and about 75 percent of folks over the age of 50. We have no mandate. We’ve provided information to people and we’ve been very honest about any data that comes out.”

DeSantis acknowledged that some vaccinated people “can test positive … but they don’t get seriously ill in except maybe rare instances, there’s always one-off on stuff.”

However, continued the governor, “in Florida, your chance of surviving if you’re vaccinated is close to 100 percent.”

I don’t think there is an anti vax cult here on FR.

I think the position you reference has been ‘splained sufficiently plenty of times.

But I get it man.

pick the target.
Freeze it.
Personalize it.
Polarize it.

Radicals gonna radical.

Many refuse the vaccine because of the fetal stem cells without realizing the monoclonal antibodies also use those stem cell lines

I’m vaccinated and it’s a relief.

The people I know who are vaccinated and got COVID had mild cases and with the help of monoclonal anybodies - were NOT hospitalized. And yeah I had some bad reactions to the first shot - but I got over those reactions.

I also firmly believe the choice to be vaccinated or not is up to each individual- and none of us can see 5 years down the road. But that said, I’m thankful I’m vaccinated and that my loved ones are too.

“Why post an older statement from July, without date in headline?”

For those of us in Rio Linda, today is December 24th. Follow the science. This was 5 months ago.

I love the doctors chiming in with the “safe and effective” mantra. Since the traditional trial period has been skipped, that is nothing more than an unsubstantiated claim.

I’d like to hear what these expert supporters have been doing in the way of therapeutics. They’ll probably tell you that generic drugs with long track records are dangerous, so it’s Bourla’s shots....and a ventilator. That’s it.

This is why many people believe the medical community at large has engaged in widespread, systemic, malpractice for going on two years. You’d find more ethical behavior among meth dealers.

It’s funny isn’t it. The echo chamber occupants destroy anything that upsets their narrative even when it is correct.

So here we are again with them simply raging against the truth for they need to be right regardless of the harm it may cause.

Hope your arm isn’t stuck to a flagpole from the magnetic chips in the vaccine while getting your marching orders through the 5G network

Merry Christmas!

“don’t jump on someone who simply advocates for taking it of their own free will”

I plan to jump on all such people.

I believe they are making a serious error in judgment that makes them dangerous to themselves and others.

SERIOUSLY???

This article is from JULY...Geez...SIX MONTHS LATER???

At this point, tho sadly President Trump appears clueless, I would hope that DeSantis now has clue—the “vaccines” are not the solution; they are part of the problem.

Yes. Covid attacked my ability to regulate blood pressure and pulse. Two trips to ER. Thought I was going to stroke out the first time. It never effected my respiratory. Wife had bad cough for about two weeks.

I took the monoclonal antibodies after first trip to ER. I was fine in about 8 days. I did lose sense of smell and largely have it back now

Long before COVID, antivaxxers were more likely to be on the left.

“....they don’t understand that he’s possibly bluffing to lever the outcome he wants imo.”

Serious negotiating is a very complex operation and is fraught with misdirection, misinformation and bluffs. Most people don’t know the first thing about it.

Vaccine side effects cases are sniffed out in the ER and the patients deliberately ignored from that point forward until they go home in frustration. The corrupt and comoromised MDs in these institutions know better than to admit such patients to the hospital, and probably prefer that they simply die at home.

Thanks.... this was last January. Before ivermectin etc. I don’t know if, and not claiming the monoclonal worked etc. I just know what I did and why.

If you really think the vaccines didn’t help then the only ignorant person is you

The narrative is: these “vaccines” are NOT working, and causing serious health issues and death for some! Explain for us, why so many vaccinated are getting covid? Explain for us why, if these drugs are working, are they now pushing endless boosters?

You have absolutely no knowledge of what the longterm effects of these mRNA drugs on the body will be. I like how yiu vaxx pushers ignore people who’ve developed heart conditions and blood clots after the jabs!

“Doctors” like you are why so many are losing faith in the medical industry.
