DESANTIS SUPPORTED COVID VACCINES UNTIL A FEW WEEKS AGO

Trump was lied to.

Covid vaccines were supplied in batches. Some were very bad:

Trump never supported covid vaccine mandates, always leaving it to individuals to decide what’s best for themselves.

DeSantis was supporting the vaccines until a few weeks ago:

DeSantis Flip-Flops From Covid Vaccine Supporter To Most Powerful Critic: Here’s What Happened

Dozens and dozens more reports on the subject. I and others have posted numerous commentaries and evidence on this.

DeSantis is not a bad fellow, but he’s being used. I’m sorry to say he’s not highly-highly intelligent nor brilliant. What he sometimes does do right is listen as in listen to some really smart conservative Floridians, then have their concerns scripted, and reads said scripts from a podium. But those conservatives had to keep needling him to pay attention.

What viewers and the thread’s OP need to understand is the following:

Infact he blamed the Dems for hesitancy to get vaccinated and that folks were lining up for it when he was President. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-covid-19-vaccine-democrats-coronavirus
Therefore should not you be for it?

It is an individual choice.

nobody should be criticized for getting it. nobody should be criticized for not getting it.

Compare it to other choices. I rarely wear my seat belt in my car. I should not criticized those who do. I should not be criticized for not doing it.

"DeSantis was no different than Trump in believing the people who were giving him information, and advice."
DeSantis probably believed the CDA, as I did. My wife, I, and my brother took the first two Pfizer shots voluntarily in Miami. Since finding my brother lying dead a month and a half later, I live in Florida and because my govenor is DeSantis, I feel no pressure, and haven’t taken any more Covid “vaccines.” Trump also boasted about his “warp speed” vaccines, but I haven’t heard about that lately. Nevertheless, I probably will vole for Trump in the next primary even if DeSants is running for a number of reasons, primarily of which is I would rather keep him here protecting us in Florida to the best of his ability than losing in a crooked national election.

Probably right. But it was his decision to listen to them.

No guarantees though that DeSantis or Trump learned anything from it. Time will tell.

But Trump was critical of Kemp for opening up too early.

Depends. I don’t hang around with those who don’t handle their guns in a safe manner. It’s their choice not to follow basic safety rules and it’s my choice not to be around them and I’ll explain to them why.

And it was my choice to live on an inner city Chicago block on my first year back from Vietnam that had 7 murders by one of the 4 teen age gangs competing for that turf.

Yes, it is an individual choice. Many who had lived in that neighborhood had chosen to flee to the burbs. Of the one street gang that chose to ally itself with the Daley machine, it was an individual choice of each gang member. Some gang members left the gang and chose alternate directions for their lives.

Ultimately it is individual choices.

None of the crap should have been released, let alone relentlessly pushed by all levels of government with billions in propaganda.

What the hospitals did was criminal in many, many ways.

"DeSantis is working. He is smart to ignore the noise from trump. Brilliant strategy in fact."

People here are debating the past. Not real helpful, just trying to hurt a great gov BEFORE he is a candidate. It's easy to see which folks are STILL on the wrong side of the Trump SwampJab. Those are the folks I wisely choose not to follow.

Trump is campaigning as the new establishment candidate. Loves his McDaniel, loves Kevin, told the challengers to stand down, wants you to moderate lifelong principles re abortion, horrible fed programs, unicorns, etc.

Ron DeSavage's brilliant or simply fortunate approach might beat Trump's SwampJab on the legal front. He could be one yuge step up on Trump BEFORE even being a candidate.

Trump got into bed with BigPharma and BigGovt with Warp Speed hubris. Never been a small govt guy. No admin brought more unearned profit and more undeserved protection for BigPharma. Trump added an ocean to the swamp.

Hopefully, FL will lead the way to show BigPharma lied. Potententially invalidating legal protections.

At event 201 exercise J&J stated they would need less regulations, which Trump did.
Here’s Trump’s speech: https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-president-trump-vaccine-development/

That would have seemed prudent for a state filled with the elderly.

Florida was not alone in that. COVID was an unknown.

That children couldn’t visit with elderly parents in senior homes was criminal. I believe thay have now made a law so it won’t happen again.

I would also add that DeSantis made antibody treatments easily available 7-days-a-week throughout Florida until the Feds moved to block it. My 84-year-old, unvaxed Mom - who has advanced COPD, received that treatment within 6 hours of testing positive with DELTA, and wasn't sick for more than a day. My own story wasn't much different.

DeSantis can do no wrong, IMHO.

The only thing I care about is DeSantis praising the 1/6 committee and saying the protesters get what they deserve
