Good for the Florida surgeon general and DeSantis in doing so. More conservative state governors and surgeons general should take this stand. If for nothing else other than the tax-payer costs associated with dispensing it to those on state and federal “public” health insurance.
Each time a state surgeon general recommends a vaccine or health initiative, the immediate call goes out for the state to make it “free” to “under-served” communities. It has taken me a while, but I finally figured out that “under-served” means those under government control via a monthly check from tax-payers. They do seem to be “served” very richly on our dime.
As to President Trump, I remember well the leftist and media reactions to any indication by him that he wouldn’t follow Fauci’s “recommendations”. If he hadn’t done so, he would have been not only impeached but probably jailed as a “public health menace” as well. At that time in the “pandemic”, he too trusted the public health officials and had no idea they were lying to us all.
We can’t vilify actions taken in history based on current knowledge or public support unless we know for a fact that the person had different knowledge at the time but was purposely telling us otherwise. That’s what the left does as they insist we pay for the sins of those that didn’t have the information, public support, or “enlightenment” that is currently available.
A good baby step taken by DeSantis.
Now if he takes his own advice on how the president “should have” handled Fauci, he’ll do the right thing and he won’t even have to try and fire someone.
No mask mandates, no Vax mandate and put Ivermectin back in the pharmacy.
Should be a lot easier for the governor, he even has the backing of his house, senate and courts…..
