‘Vaccines are saving lives’: DeSantis stresses importance of shots as Florida COVID cases spike, criticizes mask mandates
WFLA 8 Tampa ^ | Melanie Michael

Posted on 07/21/2021 4:13:41 PM PDT by semimojo

Gov. Ron DeSantis was in St. Petersburg to discuss red tide on Wednesday, but took time to answer questions and address Florida’s recent spike in coronavirus cases and stress the importance of the COVID vaccine.

“Here’s, I think, the most important thing with the data: if you are vaccinated, fully vaccinated, the chance of you getting seriously ill or dying from COVID is effectively zero,” DeSantis said. “If you look at the people who are being admitted to hospitals, over 95 percent of them are either not fully vaccinated or not vaccinated at all. These vaccines are saving lives. They are reducing mortality.”

The governor said he’s been urging people to get vaccinated for months because of what he called the “summer season.”...

While DeSantis stressed the importance and efficacy of the vaccine, he also warned against government officials pushing vaccination too hard.

“They have different reasons for why they don’t take it and I think the more they’re hectored by government officials or some of these folks – that is not going to get them to ‘yes.’ I can tell you that right now,” he said. “I think these are folks that have skepticism of authorities. I think they have different reasons why they may not do it. I don’t think most of them think COVID is a hoax or anything. I think they understand.”

“Wonder why no one is questioning when they get people visiting doctors and someone might SUSPECT that some of the people suffering maladies are reacting to the jab.”

__________

The Hippocratic Oath has broken down and fallen apart. Medical Doctors have given up their integrity to maintain their livelihoods and avoid unwanted intervention from disciplinary bodies bent on stopping the use of effective therapeutics and forcing scientifically questionable and potentially dangerous so-called methods for inducing immunity (which some are now referring to as deathjabs and clot shots) upon an information-starved populace.

No wonder why you are so wondering!

“...dying from COVID is effectively zero...”

This is regardless of whether you had the vaccine or not, damn it.

So what is the REAL reason they are pushing the vaccine? What are they not telling us?

All the people I know who had woo-hoo-floo and actually got sick recovered. I know even more people who supposedly had it but never got sick. So no, vaccines did not save their lives.

In England this month so far, 40% of those hospitalized were fully immunized, even though England has an 83% vaccine compliance rate. Yet in June, 117 ppl died from Covid, only 44 of whom were unvaccinated; approximately 55 were fully vaccinated and the remainder had an unknown vaccination status. So when ppl say “you have zero chance of being hospitalized or dying from Covid when you get the vaccine,” I say “bollocks!”

*Sorry, I’ve been watching a lot of British TV lately, lol.

Show me one where a competent medical authority has ruled the vaccine as the cause of death.

One.

Here’s a question for DeSantis: Is informed consent possible when it comes to CoupFlu vaccines, yes or no?

“by the CDC and zero deaths attributed to the vaccine”

wrong, I think the cdc lists the Vaers numbers and vaers has thousands of adverse reaction to the shots resulting in thousands of deaths.

but you are entitled to keep thinking the lie in your mind is correct if it makes you feel better, but it’s still wrong.

Could also be a reaction to Delta variant spreading.

Vaers numbers have zero legitimacy. Anyone can post whatever garbage they want there.

The worst part is they are using a number (95%) that is 2021 YEAR TO DATE. So of course the folks who died in January through March, i.e. before broad vaccinations had occurred, would go into the “Unvaccinated” column.

If people really read the stories and looked at the underlying data, they’d realize that most statistics are fabricated or used to deceive. Since it is so prevalent, one can’t help but eventually grasp that this deception is intentional.

I don’t want anyone pushing this crap as president.

At this point that includes Trump and DeSantis.

Any potential candidates who aren’t???

They conveniently leave out a huge group of ppl who aren’t getting the vaccine: Those ppl who’ve already had Covid and survived. Remember the hundreds of thousands in most states that had the “highly contagious” virus? Since only 1-2% died from it, those millions of survivors are now naturally immune, or so they told us a year ago. Now they’ve suddenly segregated us into jabbed and unjabbed and are doling out punishments if we refuse to go along with their constantly changing program! I’m sick of this BS!
