Florida Gov. DeSantis to Call Special Legislative Session to Ban Vaccine Mandates
Newsmax ^ | 21 October 2021 | Charlie McCarthy

Posted on 10/21/2021 12:02:40 PM PDT by george76

Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis said he will call together a special session of the Florida legislature to ban COVID-19 vaccine mandates on businesses.

"We will be calling the Legislature back for a special session. We want to make sure that individuals in the state of Florida have their rights protected," DeSantis

...

The governor added that state lawmakers will be called back next month because rules are being implemented on the federal level and deadlines are imminent. He said legislation, rather than executive orders, was the correct vehicle given that Florida is "not in a state of emergency."

...

Thousands of unvaccinated workers across the U.S. now are facing potential job losses as a growing number of states, cities, and private companies start to enforce the vaccine mandates.

....

DeSantis .. argued against the "heavy hand of government" being used to "force injections."

"Your right to earn a living should not be contingent on COVID shots

...

"They’re now facing getting kicked to the curb," ...

DeSantis said hospital employees and local government employees will be protected under new legislation, and added employees fired for not getting vaccines, or people harmed by taking the vaccine under employer duress also will be protected.

"A lot of the employers are not honoring exceptions," DeSantis said, including for "religious beliefs."

"At the end of the day, you shouldn't be discriminated against based on health decisions."

Florida Politics said State Sen. Keith Perry, R-Gainesville, on Thursday will refile legislation expanding on recently passed vaccine and mask mandate bans.

Perry, who last week filed a measure that would ban mask mandates and medical requirements in schools, was seeking to include a measure that would possibly prevent businesses from requiring vaccines for employees.

DeSantis also agreed to include in the legislation the prohibition of revoking licenses and permits from citizens who refuse to be vaccinated.

Rather than dismissing employees, some organizations are revoking licenses from nurses, doctors, etc instead.

The only purpose of this is to deny those who refuse vaccination a career.

There was a guy who was on the last few minutes of Tucker Carlson last night.

He was talking about the rise of unexplained, non-Covid deaths in the US and Europe.

He said it might be from the vaccines.

My wife almost cried.

In Wyoming, lawmakers will go into special session next week to consider bills of a similar nature that will counter vaccine mandates in Wyoming.

Meanwhile, millions of illegal border jumpers and everyone on the welfare gravy train getting their federal monthly EBT deposits from Uncle Sugar are exempt from any vaccine mandate. Funny how that works out.

Alex Berenson. He’s got a substack which you can google.

He’s made this claim for a few weeks now, but without really explaining how he’s coming up with his numbers. Could be true, could be that he’s misunderstanding the numbers. Can’t say at this point.

Should also pass legislation allowing for the prescription of Ivermectin to those patients that request it.

“Maybe I should be moving from IL to FL”

You might as well...everybody else is.

OBTW if you come to Fla be prepared to pay thousands over asking price for a home...at least that’s what’s happening around where I live right now.

Guess the feds have done their market research and know who’s likely to riot from having their income taken away from them, and who’s not.

“I’d rent and wait to buy.”

If you can find something.

A house down the street from me just rented for $1800 a month.

We just moved to Florida. This would make Florida the #1 State to live in, not that it already wasn’t.

I read somewhere the law states that the feds can only mandate vaccination for federal employees, but NOT for anyone who is NOT a government employee. This would be extreme overreach where the feds cannot dictate to private business owners what their employees must or must not do to or with their own bodies.

IRELAND [and the entire modern world] CONTINUES TO SLOUCH TOWARDS TOTALITARIANISM

> By the extremely brave and brilliant Dave Cullen. <

The mandatory mRNA spike protein injection rollout that we are living through has been in the works for years before the Wuhan Covid 19 breakout.

Cullen has all the receipts. Every step of the way was planned in advance. The globalist demons are probably disappointed the Wuhan Flu was not more deadly, but they decided to roll out their injected “mark of the beast” plan anyway. Just stick to the plan. Their media and political servants would stick to the script. And they have. “Build back better” was written by the WEF years ago, for this moment.

The scariest part of this is that the globalists don’t even care that Dave Cullen and others totally reveal their evil plan to the small minority of aware people. They have already taken us few dissidents into account, and they don’t care. They’ll just digitally and then physically gulag us. We are just a minor nuisance.

PLEASE PLEASE watch and share this video.
