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.”

Fair enough, but for those of us who have done this work every day since it’s onset, have thousands of first hand accounts, receive in depth updates regularly, get frustrated when seeing posts like yours which are just plain wrong. I don’t believe in mandates, and Dr Fauci had been horrible, and this thing was terribly politicized from the onset. Still, there is no equivocation regarding the vaccines safety and efficacy and we should all be damn glad they became available when they did. Everyone both the vaccinated and unvaccinated. I cannot tell you how many people I have seen dying in terrible circumstances and how many death certificates I have signed. If not for the vaccines God only knows how much worse it would be.

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

And 'conga line' morphs into 'echo chamber'. Very scientific analysis, doc. I see you're back to 'Merry Christmas' at the and of your hate speech rants.

The vaccines are not saving any lives. These shots are total BS. I think that this entire Pandemic is crap. Everybody sick who I ever dealt with had a long Hx of issues, and this ‘Flu’ did them in.

I saw the same sort of thing a decade ago with the H1N1.

This time around the rogues in Congress, (con guess) decided to take advantage of the new virus. Their stooges in the Media were all aboard with that scheme. Now everybody has to wear masks or stay home as they destroyed our Economy.

It is a type of evil that I personally never anticipated. I expected that the wickedness would cone from Asia or Arabia. Never figured that it would be home grown.

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

We purebloods aren't 'anti-vaxxer'. The fake poison covid 'vax' would have to be a vaccine for that to be true.

This makes you no different from the liberal wack jobs doing EXACTLY what you are doing except on the other side of the argument.

But the thing is, only one of those perspectives is correct. The evidence is pouring in that the fake poison vax is neither safe nor effective.

Anybody that advocates for it is dangerous and needs to be jumped on. Twice.

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

Oh, he's not the only one. There are more smart people in the world than you realize.

It’s sad and pathetic but there are a lot of nut jobs out there.

And now they have poison coursing through their veins. Ever see Night of the Living Dead?

DeSantis and Trump know far more about this than most posters here on freerepublic.

About time you got to work, ChemicalWeapon boy.

I was talking about the people before COVID, who were anti-vaccine. They were seen on the right and left, but four of the top five anti-vaccine states were Democrat states.

The reality is there are a spectrum of opinions on vaccines or the COVID vaccines specifically, but they are lumped together.

There was nothing inaccurate about his statement in July. He was simply stating the facts. He still does.

We and he know better by now. Why don't you?

We have an excellent idea what the long term effects are of mRNA.

No you don't, liar. Where did you get that 'idea'?

I prefer to deal with facts and science over 'ideas' pulled out of someone's anal orifice. Thanks anyway.

And what's with this 'we' business? Do you claim to speak for all doctors and even actual experts in the field everywhere? Please get over yourself, gassie.

Of course there can. The sheer amount of anecdotal evidence alone puts the lie to your pollyanna warbling. The evidence is overwhelming at this point.

Wake up, doc.

I'll agree with you there. The mudbloods make a habit of labelling people opposed to this fake poison 'vax' as 'anti-vaxxers', thereby rolling us smarts into the previously demonized 'anti-vax' movement.

Its just a propaganda tactic, nothing more.

p.s. This not a left/right thing. This is a people thing. Or maybe a smart/stupid thing, though stupid does predominately live on the left.

Fine... then you’ll have no trouble finding where Desantis took back what he said 5 months ago and has come out against the vaccines now? Or is Desantis being deceptive?
