ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — Orange County Health Director Dr. Raul Pino has been placed on administrative leave.

Sources tell WFTV Pino was placed on paid administrative leave after he sent an email on Jan. 4 to Orange County Department of Health staff about employee COVID-19 vaccination rates.

In it, he wrote, “I have a hard time understanding how we can be in public health and not practice it…”

He wrote that he had an analyst run vaccination data for employees, and that out of the 568 active staff at the department, only 77 had received a COVID-19 booster, 219 had two doses of the vaccine and 34 had only one dose.

“I am sorry but in the absence of reasonable and real reasons it is irresponsible not to be vaccinated,” Pino wrote. “We have been at this for two years, we were the first to give vaccines to the masses, we have done more than 300,000 and we are not even at 50% pathetic.”

Pino has served as the face of the Orange County Department of Health during the COVID-19 pandemic, providing updates on case numbers and vaccination rates during county news conferences.

Why do they need a staff of 586?

“Orange County health director Dr. Raul Pino placed on administrative leave”

Sorry, but his name is too close to “Paul RINO” for me.

His employees probably understand a) what the “vaccines” are and are not b) what the “vaccines” can and can not do and c) what dangers, if any, taking the “vaccine” presents.

In other words, his employees know whether taking the “vaccines” is a good idea or not. And it appears half of them have concluded it is not.

We have been at this for two years, and they are still trying to sell the snake oil quack “medicine”. They aren’t doctors, they are assassins, poisoners.

Not sure what is the biggest story within this story. That 50% of health department staff won’t get vaccinated or that one county health department has 568 active staff.

The shots are more like snake venom than oil.

They probably have free county health clinics.

Doctors, nurses, front desk workers, billing clerks (It’s usually not all free depending on ability to pay.), other specialists, etc. Times number of locations.

Let me get this straight...

Pino PUSHED the vaccines and got fired for it???

Did I get that right?

Or... is it that he got in trouble for revealing the dirty little secret that the government staff isn’t taking them either?

He got fired or at least put on leave for pushing the vaccines. DeSantis has prohibited them from requiring or imposing it, so I assume DeSantis had him removed.

Well, regardless... I think this is the first time I’ve seen the tables turned on those pushing it.

Bout time.

Yeah, county population is ~1.4 million - it works out to one employee for every 2389 residents. I’d also not be surprised if a significant number of the employees are part time. And anything health care related these days has a boatload of paperwork to go with it.

Sad but true.
