At the end of January I watched a video message from the commissioners of the suburban Philadelphia county where my wife and I reside. According to them, it may take Pennsylvania up to a year to administer COVID vaccinations to all persons over the age of 65. We oldsters (my wife and I are 76) were told to register with the county and prepare for a long wait.
This information decided the issue of whether or not we should take up residence in Florida for the remaining winter months. Not only would the weather be more congenial, according to our Florida friends, but our chances of receiving the COVID vaccine in a timely manner also would increase exponentially.
And, in fact, within 11 days of our arrival in Florida, we received our first jabs of the Moderna vaccine and will receive our second doses in mid-March. We are now among the 2,355,792 persons who have been vaccinated in Florida as of February 13, 2021.
The comparison between Florida’s efficient handling of COVID vaccinations, under the leadership of Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, and that of Pennsylvania, under Democrat Gov. Tom Wolf, could not be more telling. And the favorable comparisons don’t end there.
Pennsylvania has been in a COVID lockdown for almost a year. During that time, lives, livelihoods, and businesses have been destroyed en masse because state health authorities deemed the lockdown to be a necessary means of reducing the rate of COVID infections. Nevertheless, COVID has spread throughout Pennsylvania and, thanks to the state’s callous and ill-advised decree that forced nursing homes to accept COVID patients, a shockingly high and avoidable number of its senior citizens in long-term care facilities have died.

Pictured above is former Pennsylvania Secretary of Health Rachel Levine, who in May 2020 instigated and implemented the Wolf administration’s policy requiring long-term care facilities to accept COVID patients. Did Levine think that this directive would put elderly nursing home residents at increased risk of harm? Apparently so, since, at the same time that she issued the directive, she moved her own mother out of a nursing home and into a hotel.
“Apparently so, since, at the same time that he issued the directive, he moved his own mother out of a nursing home and into a hotel.”
Absolutely.
Levine can pretend to be a truck, but he was born male and will die a man no matter how much he wishes to be a truck.
If Butt-Head actually does ban travel to Florida, it’s ROAD TRIP TIME!!! I dare a cop to stop me from crossing that border!
I read this on the news source they cite and it was wonderful! And I have no doubt that DeSantis said it.
You’d almost think that Biden and company are trying to provoke this.
Come follow my wife from our farm here in Florida back into Georgia where her mom lives.
She knows every back road, dirt path and deer trail there is to skirt around the interstate. Roadblocks be damned.
Isn't it unconstitutional to stop interstate traffic?
Biden criticized President Trump when he banned muslims coming into our country until they could be vetted.
Now Biden wants to ban US citizens from traveling freely?
Biden is a bigger idiot than I thought if he thinks he can close the Florida border.
My wife and I have been volunteering at one of our county vaccination site (north of Orlando). We’re doing 8,000 a week over 65 residents in the old Sears store. Appointment required. Lotsa happy people.
Dear Mr President-Pretend:
Gov. DeSantis is a wise, capable executive.
You are a drooling fool.
With best wishes for your content awareness,
“This information decided the issue of whether or not we should take up residence in Florida for the remaining winter months... our chances of receiving the COVID vaccine in a timely manner also would increase exponentially.”
Just another sign of what’s wrong with this country. So, not reading the rest. Good luck to the writer in making his point somehow.
