Nope they wouldn’t and luckily DeSantis’ statement is perfectly stated if you read his direct quotes. Yes reading is old fashioned I know. Article titles get you all gooey inside.
“entrenched bureaucrats, CDC, NIH, FDA — they need to be cleaned out because they totally failed”
I don’t think that was “perfectly stated” since there was not total failure. I do suspect better (at preventing infection) vaccines could have been created.
Also, I think the effects on young adults (those under age 30) should have been better researched before distribution to young adults - there was time since older adults got vaccination priority.
