‘Vaccines are saving lives’: DeSantis stresses importance of shots as Florida COVID cases spike, criticizes mask mandates

Just a dress rehearsal to make sure everyone is in lock step in preparation for the anti-Christ.

I am disappointed with him, but I would still vote for him because he would not push a mandate on us. I never felt that he made no mistakes. But then, all of us do. This one has created problems beyond control now.

I would be happy if he would spend some time studying all angles of this fake vax and at least call for informed consent. He should be pushing to speed up reporting on Vaers and allow the people to report their issues themselves.

Then I miss the relevance of your post in answer to me.

These people are being hospitalized for COVID, and that is what my comment was in response to. It would make sense to me that if health professionals view the unvaccinated as being at greater risk from COVID, they might admit them with greater preference when presenting symptoms.

I don’t say that this is unreasonable, if that is their belief, but it could also just be skewing the numbers.

Sorry to hear about your stroke, too. I hope you recover fully.

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

Yes, the CDC owns VAERS. And here's what they say about the reported deaths:

"More than 339 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines were administered in the United States from December 14, 2020, through July 19, 2021. During this time, VAERS received 6,207 reports of death (0.0018%) among people who received a COVID-19 vaccine. FDA requires healthcare providers to report any death after COVID-19 vaccination to VAERS, even if it’s unclear whether the vaccine was the cause. Reports of adverse events to VAERS following vaccination, including deaths, do not necessarily mean that a vaccine caused a health problem. A review of available clinical information, including death certificates, autopsy, and medical records, has not established a causal link to COVID-19 vaccines."

That means none of those deaths have been attributed to the vaccine.

Yes, thank you for uncovering the CDC as ridiculous.

I’m down the middle on this.....full disclosure, I’ve had the shots, so far, no problems. But I won’t tell anyone what to do, they need to make their own choice.

And who knows what the future holds. It’s a crap shoot either way, I suppose.

[digger48]

Just made the comment because I fully expected to be asked

[dforest]

Yep, we have some live ones around here.;)

[semimojo]

Yes, thank you for uncovering the CDC as ridiculous.

So I take it you also think the CDC VAERS reports of adverse effects are ridiculous?

Or is it only the CDC data you don't like that fails your test?

You will never hear of anybody dying because of the fauxinne! It will always be some other reason.

[Ouderkirk]

I might believe and trust any politician or medical expert that publicly endorses early covid treatment with HCQ or ivermectin

And therein lies the rub with the anti-vax crowd. They ALL have lied to us so many times, there is no reason to believe what they are saying now. The "vaccines" may very well be statistically safe and effective. We won't believe them until the honest truth about Hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin are released.

That should include mask effectiveness as well

[Mozzafiato]

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

One.

Report: 13-year-old dies in sleep after getting COVID-19 vaccine; CDC investigating

[AndyTheBear]

You will never hear of anybody dying because of the fauxinne! It will always be some other reason.

There are many reported deaths that were obviously due to the vaccine due to their circumstances. Perhaps the CDC knows all such reports to be lies and conspiracies. Perhaps the CDC needs to be called the Center for Dumb Conspiracy theories?

[Maskot]

You are going to be thinking about your fauxinne for the rest of your life. Good luck

[xkaydet65]

Wasn’t almost everyone on FR and Red State and GP praising Pres Trump’s successful efforts to produce a successful vaccine ? Were all those people wrong to do so.? You would certainly thinks when you see the overwhelming numbers of anti vaxx posts.

[Maskot]

Move on. Seriously

[Maskot]

They will never admit the vaccine has caused anyone’s death from this point forward. Wake up

[SecondAmendment]

> I am greatly disappointed in DeSantis. Just another GOP politician who buys into the liberal narrative.

Never trust a Yalee ....

[AndyTheBear]

I do know that the CDC runs VAERS. And I do know they say, hey, we run this thing that takes reports about adverse reactions. And hey, there is nothing to see here. No confirmed relationship. Let's move along.

But when we look at the data people reported we see a pattern. The deaths reported did not double. They did not triple, the did not quadruple. Compared to previous years they exploded by more than 50 times normal now.

So we are left with two options:

A) It was ridiculous to ever have VAERS, as the program is worthless and all VAERS data can be ignored.

B) They are ignoring the data for bad reasons.

You can't have it both ways. Its their data, they set it up, they gathered it, now they don't like it. Tough. People interested in the truth can not ignore an increase that damn big.

My last chemo was Dec 2020. Got the vaccine and I am still alive with no side effects. All my family got the vaccine with no side effects.

Live long FRiend.
