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.

The correct answer is NOT A SINGLE PERSON KNOWS.
However what we do know FOR SURE is that covid-19 is infecting millions of people right now as we speak. A wise person should handle the immediate threat first instead of worrying about POSSIBLE future problems with ZERO data to back up. Why any thinking person wants to depend on FUTRE CONJECTURE over proven current danger?

No, it’s just a sound medical principle not to take new and unproven medications until impact studies can be performed. Not just the impact on individuals, but on the wide scale deployment to society.

But if you want to be a guinea pig, go ahead. Usually you’re supposed to be paid for being an experimental lab rat for a drug company, but if you’re willing to be one for free, looks like they’re ready to shoot you up with several different variants, the true difference in their effectiveness, and dangers, still not being known of course. Might as well take more than one, since how that might work out is not known yet either, if you’re that worried about catching it, but not worried about how they may negatively affect you ultimately.

As for me, nope, which is perfectly understandable, and certainly allowed. As far as I know you may already know of horrible side effects you or others are suffering and just want others to be in the same boat. Far too early to know who’s telling the truth at this point, about any of it. Good luck not getting infected anyway.

She is slowing down the concealed carry permit process.

All required documents were submitted with the original application, but then came this.......

“This paper must be re-submitted. You must send additional documents”...etc.

At this point it has been about six months since the original application and still no permit.

This is how it works in a third world country. Florida is a shall issue state, but under this anti 2nd amendment person, the actual issue might take a long time.

And you know this? Data from people that have yet to tell us the truth. Portraying positive results as a dearth sentence, that’s truth? Not telling people that there are preventatives in the from of vitamins. Facts given by thousand s of doctors that have been actually treating the virus.

A wise person would do some research instead of buying the government directives. Drugs cause problems, that is a fact. sucking up media and government BS does not solve the problem. Government worldwide have lead their populations down terrible roads under the idea that what they want is for the good of all.

It was a free country so the choice is, I think, your body your choice. So far we have been sold a diet of fear and more fear for a year now by those that have assumed the leadership role. Now they want us to buy the idea they have solved the problem, but, we still must be masked and although injected we must adhere to their guidelines for sometime. “Some cure”

If you want to believe everything this government tells you I feel sorry for you. The outcome of turning your life over to the government has always been a bad idea.

I choose to verify what is requested of me. Those that would choose for me are do not allow freedom.+

Do a simple google search for world wide infections of covid-19. Not that difficult. Europe is experiencing surges right now in those countries which are slow to use the vaccine.

On the other hand Israel’s new infections are way down after a very strong push to vaccinate. But why would you be interested in facts? Flat earthers never are.
