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.”

Kind of like a recipe.....you keep increasing the measurements hoping something will save the batch of cookies gone bad.
“If Trump had not come out in such strong support of the vaccine would DeSantis?”
Now that’s an interesting question !
Exactly..I have no problem with DeSantis or Trump promoting the vaccine..as long as they dont MANDATE IT, or force people to get it..Im like this, if you want the shot, you get it, if not, than you dont have to..just like with anything else..you have a personal choice..its called freedom and I dont really understand why the Trump hate all of a sudden, the vaccine was created while he was President, do people expect him to come out and say “Yeah the vaccine sucks dont get it” it was done on HIS WATCH he was the President..the vaccine is forever tied to him of course he will promote it, the point is neither is FORCING it on people and that is the difference
They’re just playing the game of politics. anti-vaxxer is akin to Q-anon in the media and repubs are afraid of the media calling them names.
The jabs might have helped wit covid 1.0 but then Delta came along and laughed at Delta. That’s why more deaths in 2021 than 2020. It’s dis-genuine at best to keep talking them up at this point. We’re getting into Omicron which is mild and to it, the jab doesn’t even exist. With Omicron, COVID is over so repubs can quit talking them up and start talking about COVID being over. The numbers, if the CDC doesn’t fudge them, will bear that out in a few weeks and any pol who doesn’t see that is a little on the dim side and letting the left/msm control the narrative. Time to be over COVID conversation.
<< He blew it. I hate unforced errors. >>
The article is from July.
It isn't.
The number of deaths is not a rate.
If there Pfizer $$$$ in the picture somewhere.
My Christmas post notes:
“Who would have known that the week before Christmas Joe Biden and Donald Trump would become sales representatives for Pfizer”
Is DeSantis a Pfizer sales rep too?
Whoever is forcing the messaging with both Trump and DeSantis is sadly misinformed or compromised. The data do not back up the claims.
Still prefer DeSantis due to many reasons.
Yup, this is from July. I’d like to ask him, and the loudmouthed new yorker directly, why they’re not the least bit interested in FDA and their 75 year schedule to release the Pfizer data.
Nothing to see here. Move along. Roll up your sleeve.
Tell that to the tens of thousands of people in the VAERS database that have suffered numerous neurological issues from the 'vaccine.'
But at least they're alive, right?
ALL of the politicians are moving toward the middle on this issue.
Everybody is starting to realize they’ve been had.
They omitted the part where he also says we don’t force people in our state to get a covid shot.
He has seen to it that businesses cannot mandate it.
If you choose to read the article below please take note of where he signed this legislation.

**However, continued the governor, “in Florida, your chance of surviving if you’re vaccinated is close to 100 percent.”**
For two years now, everyone of my family (including me), and close friends and relatives are presently at 100% survival. And more than half of us know we that we have had the wuflu, myself being possibly the first in our clan, (Jan. 2020)
Of family, we are probably less than 20% compliant.
Of friends, they are probably around 40% compliant.
One member of our church died from it, but he was an almost 400# truck driver.
Where do you get that the ‘death rate’ is ‘higher’ now than before the vaccines? And I understand by ‘death rate’ the percentage of vaccinated persons dying compared to before when the vaccines were available.. not just a raw statistic without context and not comparing vaccinated populations with unvaccinated. How do you know that the death rate this past year wouldn’t have been double or triple what it is now if the people who have been vaccinated weren’t? I’m including people who died from side effects... J&J for instance has had 9 confirmed deaths in women from blot clots for instance.
So it’s hold the opinion you hold or keep your mouth shut?
A family friend, fully vaccinated, 53 years old, died of Covid last week.
The vaccine killed my step mom... three weeks after being double vaxed she got covid and three week later after two weeks on a ventilator she was gone. No exaggeration. Natural immunity is the way to go.
You’ve been a Trump hater since I first started noticing your posts so this post isn’t surprising.
Someone shows up at your medical facility presenting COVID symptoms, and they test positive for it.
How do you know if this person is vaccinated or not?
