Florida Dem Considering a DeSantis Challenge Comes Out in Favor of Vaccine Passport Mandates

Florida’s Agriculture and Consumer Services Commissioner, Nikki Fried (D), used an appearance on MSNBC to criticize Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) for his COVID response; Fried is rumored to be preparing to challenge DeSantis for his reelection bid in 2022.

Fried accused DeSantis of “going off on a rampage” earlier this week, when he vowed to sign an executive order banning the use of vaccine passports. The Biden administration is planning to spearhead the implementation of vaccine passports to require individuals to show proof of vaccination in order to attend public events, travel, and reenter normal life.

“It’s completely unacceptable for either the government or the private sector to impose upon you the requirement that you show proof of vaccine to just simply be able to participate in normal society,” DeSantis said earlier this week.

Fried voiced support for a mandate for the use of vaccine passports by “local and state businesses,” specifically the cruise industry, which is a dominating industry contributing to Florida’s economy.

Maybe Nikki Fried should consider this:

Federal law prohibits employers and others from requiring vaccination with a Covid-19 vaccine distributed under an EUA

Then look at this PDF from the FDA:

Emergency Use Authorization of Medical Products and Related Authorities

Go to PDF page 28 and look under "Information for Recipients," then read the fourth bullet.

Sure looks to me that as long as the FDA has an Emergency Use Authorization for the vaccines, you can't be forced to take it. The article from statnews.com says it can take two years for the FDA to drop the EUA.

If anybody can refute any of this, please let me know with a link, documentation or what have you.

I’m somewhat surprised she hasn’t stopped approving conceal carry licenses.

Many rules and regulations are in place for the general benefit of all people in the society. I started driving in USA at age 20 and now at age 81, I never had a single car accident. And I have driven a lot in places like Chicago where my daily commute for 16 years was 70 miles round trip. Point is why am I forced to carry liability auto insurance having proven I am one of the safest driver in United States? Few other driver can claim 61 years of driving million+ miles without a single accident.

But I don’t get my panties in a wad and jump up and down forking out cash to the auto insurance companies year after year after year. Because without liability insurance many victims of bad drivers could be left drying in the wind.

Covid vaccines now have a record of drastically reducing serious symptoms from the China virus and avoid death. In Israel 95% of seniors have been inoculated and their infection rate followed by death has dropped to near zero levels. Therefore it behooves for all people who care about their fellow beings to get innoculated and carry the papers to prove it, just like you carry your drivers license with you when driving.

I am sure that those who have religious reasons for not taking or those who simply can’t take it will just embrace what you are saying, you know, cause it “behooves’ them to do so. I am also sure the Jews in pre-WWII Germany also thought they were
caring about their fellow beings and such when they submitted to such passports, etc., yeah?

Your argument is lame especially when all the Left has done in the name of COVID has been utterly about obedience and submission while also being a serious threat to our individual and collective civil liberties. You can submit. I will not.

Your behavior is selfish. You don’t care if you infect vulnerable folks around you. Shame!

Your behavior is selfish.

Your behavior is dictatorial, especially considering how few proven facts you have to back up your demands we inject (and possibly infect) ourselves with something that is unproven and could have unknown long term side effects.

If you want to be a guinea pig yourself, knock yourself out. But I don’t want to myself, and shouldn’t be forced to. Most of my neighbors and friends, all over 70, already had Covid anyway, and recovered just fine. Most said there was nothing to it. Wouldn’t be surprised if I already had it myself and didn’t even know it.

I am very healthy and don’t take flu shots, and I am not about to take any of these, either. Maybe one day but certainly not now. And people like you demanding I take it make it even less likely, just so you know.

Really....shame that tens of millions in this country are selfish, huh? I am near sure you would have applauded the efforts of Hitler, the Gestapo, Stalin, Mao, etc., etc. to utterly revoke the civil rights of individuals and a free society as a whole all in the name of something....in this case, COVID.

Yes, indeed, submit, most sheeple do.

Bizarre how many on a site called Free Republic are so submissive to their would be dictators these days. Not only submissive, but apparently they even feel compelled to force everyone to follow the mandated party line.

Typically when faced with such coercion, I do the opposite. The fresh air of freedom is often the best medicine.

You’re cancel-culturing someone because they disagree with you? But your arrogant behavior is not selfish, of course.

When you endanger lives of vulnerable people who could get in your vicinity, I can not call that behavior anything but selfish. My own wife is fighting stage-4 cancer with a severely compromised immune system from 3 years of chemo treatments & radiation treatments. I don’t want any non-vaccinated person come anywhere near her.

Talk about selfish.

So the country should pay the price because your wife was unfortunate enough to have cancer. How do you know how these vaccines will effect the population years down the road.

Sorry your wife has cancer but you cannot force the country to pay an unknown price for you misfortune.

Open your sleepy eyes and read the data. Israel has inoculated 95% of seniors and new infection rated have plummeted. Less infections, less hospitalizations and less deaths from covid-19. Countries in Europe with less inoculations are experiencing surges in infections. This mRNA technique deserves many Nobel peace prizes and president Trump as well for pushing WARP SPEED development and availability of covid-19 vaccines.

Believe what you want.

After being lied to for over sixty years I take everything I hear or see from Government or mediots with a substantial handful of salt.

One more ting to consider. How will this vaccine handle the test of time.

Thanks. I have said a prayer for both of you, and wish you well.

I have also heard multiple separate sources, who I trust, claim that people who have been vaccinated may be a bigger threat to society than those who have not. This is supposedly due to their increased potential to internally develop new strains, and shed those new strains.

If you look there are some very prominent epidemiologists have come out against these products and how they are being used. No one should be forced into taking experimental medications when there are literally no long term case histories to study.

Bottom line it’s too early to know. Like I said if you want to volunteer then great, just don’t demand everyone else do the same, else you may be sentencing us to something even worse. Thanks.

From what I have read, the mRNA in the 1/2 CC fluid injected disappears from the body in a few hours.

The problem of China virus is here and now. It has already killed over half a million Americans and maimed many more via permanent damage to vital organs.

On the other hand, how many of the 90 MILLION Americans already inoculated have suffered death and damage? You are going to go by FUTURE CONJECTURE of vaccine damage (totally unproven, with no data whatsoever of mass damage) over the pandemic going on right now? WOW, just WOW.

People like you never stop amazing me over their blind faith of FUTURE consequences with no data to back it up.
