Ron DeSantis Signed COVID Law Allowing Forced Injections by ‘Any Means Necessary’
National File ^ | March 24, 2023 | FRANKIE STOCKES

The COVID reality is far different from the COVID narrative when it comes to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis...

Last Updated on March 24, 2023

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed COVID legislation in 2021 giving state health authorities the power to forcibly quarantine and inject anyone who “state health authorities” deem to be a risk to public safety, using “any means necessary” to do so.

On May 3rd, 2021, Florida GOP Governor Ron DeSantis signed Senate Bill 2006 into law, giving state health authorities massive power over the people of Florida, while authorizing the imprisonment and forced injection of anyone deemed a risk by those authorities. At the time of the bill’s signing, DeSantis and others in Florida’s government presented it as a ban on so-called “vaccine passports,” but buried within the legislation is an unprecedented attack on the civil liberties of American Citizens.

As a result of DeSantis-signed SB 2006, state health authorities have the power to “order an individual to be examined, tested, vaccinated, treated, isolated, or quarantined for communicable diseases,” if those health authorities believe the diseases “have significant morbidity or mortality and present a severe danger to public health.”

In the case of COVID, which has a more than 99% survival rate, state health authorities made this exact claim and, though false, it led to the biggest clampdown on civil liberties in American history.

Furthermore, SB 2006 states that if an individual is deemed to pose “a danger to the public health, the State Health Officer may subject the individual to isolation or quarantine.”

“If there is no practical method to isolate or quarantine the individual, the State Health Officer may use any means necessary to vaccinate or treat the individual.”Ron DeSantis signed SB 2006 into law, giving Florida’s “health authorities” unprecedented power over Floridians and their bodies.

Also under the DeSantis-signed legislation, “any order of the State Health Officer” is “immediately enforceable” by law enforcement, turning police officers into state quarantine and injection agents. What’s more, is that the law even calls for volunteers to help the authorities in their forced quarantine and injection quests, offering up rewards to those who are willing to help.

“Individuals who assist the State Health Officer at his or her request on a volunteer basis” are entitled to “benefits,” the legislation declares, immediately after laying out the ways that Florida’s State Health Officer can force injections into the arms of American Citizens.Those who volunteer to help force injections into the arms of their fellow Americans are “entitled” to “benefits,” the DeSantis-signed legislation proclaims.

The truth of SB 2006 comes to light as Governor DeSantis prepares for a widely-expected 2024 presidential run, and as his supporters try to paint him as a COVID freedom fighter, opposed to wide-reaching government mandates and power grabs.

In reality, that claim is far from the truth, and DeSantis has been slammed for having shut down Florida’s schools, businesses, and beaches by executive order, even stopping Floridians and tourists from celebrating America’s birthday on the Fourth of July.

President Trump has gone on the offensive in relation to DeSantis’s COVID actions in recent days, posting a video to Truth Social that shows Governor DeSantis using a 100-year-old World War 2 veteran as a “guinea pig” and having him injected with a COVID on television. The veteran, Henry Sayler, died just four months later.

“Ron DeSoros used a 100-year-old WW2 veteran as a vaccine Guinea pig on live TV. The veteran, Henry Sayler, died 4 months later. But sure, DeSantis would have fired Fauci,” President Trump wrote in a scathing post to TruthSocial.

The SB 2006 did no such thing. It amended existing statute.

https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2021/2006/BillText/er/HTML

The green underline part is the new section that was read into existing statute. Note the following,

“At any time, the Legislature, by concurrent
668 resolution, may terminate a state of emergency or any specific
669 order, proclamation, or rule thereunder. Upon such concurrent
670 resolution, the Governor shall issue an executive order or
671 proclamation consistent with the concurrent resolution.
672 (b) Notwithstanding s. 252.46(2), all emergency
673 declarations and orders, regardless of how titled, issued under
674 the authority of this part by the Governor or any agency,
675 whether by direct, delegated, or subdelegated authority, before,
676 during, or after a declared emergency, must be immediately filed
677 with the Division of Administrative Hearings.”

As to the quarantining of those with a communicable disease that has been part of Florida (and I think you will find it part of most state law) law long before DeSantis.

“The State Health Officer, upon declaration of a public health emergency, may take actions that are necessary to protect the public health. Such actions include, but are not limited to:...
“Ordering an individual to be examined, tested, vaccinated, treated, isolated, or quarantined for communicable diseases that have significant morbidity or mortality and present a severe danger to public health. Individuals who are unable or unwilling to be examined, tested, vaccinated, or treated for reasons of health, religion, or conscience may be subjected to isolation or quarantine.
a. Examination, testing, vaccination, or treatment may be performed by any qualified person authorized by the State Health Officer.
b. If the individual poses a danger to the public health, the State Health Officer may subject the individual to isolation or quarantine. If there is no practical method to isolate or quarantine the individual, the State Health Officer may use any means necessary to vaccinate or treat the individual.”

The governor’s executive order 20-51 did direct the state Health Officer to declare a public health emergency because of COVID. The only enforcement specified in that order was as follows,
“Section 7. The Florida Department of Health, pursuant to its authority in section
381.00315, Florida Statutes, will ensure that all individuals meeting the CDC’s definition of a PUI
are isolated or quarantined for a period of 14 days or until the person tests negative for COVID-19.”

Oh and if the intent of the bill you cite was forced vaccinations. Why is this part of it?,

“381.00316 COVID-19 vaccine documentation.—
1122 (1) A business entity, as defined in s. 768.38 to include
1123 any business operating in this state, may not require patrons or
1124 customers to provide any documentation certifying COVID-19
1125 vaccination or post-infection recovery to gain access to, entry
1126 upon, or service from the business operations in this state.
1127 This subsection does not otherwise restrict businesses from
1128 instituting screening protocols consistent with authoritative or
1129 controlling government-issued guidance to protect public health.
1130 (2) A governmental entity as defined in s. 768.38 may not
1131 require persons to provide any documentation certifying COVID-19
1132 vaccination or post-infection recovery to gain access to, entry
1133 upon, or service from the governmental entity’s operations in
1134 this state. This subsection does not otherwise restrict
1135 governmental entities from instituting screening protocols
1136 consistent with authoritative or controlling government-issued
1137 guidance to protect public health.
1138 (3) An educational institution as defined in s. 768.38 may
1139 not require students or residents to provide any documentation
1140 certifying COVID-19 vaccination or post-infection recovery for
1141 attendance or enrollment, or to gain access to, entry upon, or
1142 service from such educational institution in this state. This
1143 subsection does not otherwise restrict educational institutions
1144 from instituting screening protocols consistent with
1145 authoritative or controlling government-issued guidance to
1146 protect public health.”

“One of my great criticisms of the legal reporting industry is that they write about opinions summarizing them, often badly, always inaccurately, incompletely and out of context and almost never with a link to the actual opinion.”

____

Don’t they though? On opinion days, I go to Scotusblog to read their announcement of the ruling and opinion of the Court, and then click on the link to read the actual opinion itself. When I later read the news article reporting on the decision, it seldom reflects the actual reasoning as to why the Court ruled as it did. That’s a disservice to the people. It’s very seldom that the Court’s ruling is not Constitutionally sound. When they aren’t, those rulings are usually overturned, although it may take decades to do so as in Roe v. Wade. It is my hope that the deference to Chevron will be the next “precedent” to go.

“I don’t think Trump knew everything about these death shots”

So he has now educated himself on the “vaccines” and their dangers? Where is his condemnation of them? And of all the deaths they caused to innocent Americans?

What about the law that seals his travel records? The one where it says he can run for president and not have to resign as governor and do the job he was elected to do for us Floridians? Why do you think he wants to travel records sealed? Did he fly in someone’s private jet?

Trump's Warp Speed was doing something that made sense: trying to use medical science to find a solution as quickly as possible.

There's no excuse for signing a "ghastly law"

I find it frustrating too that legal reporting is atrociously inaccurate and virtually never links to the actual opinion.

It's not just judicial rulings we have to research but often times activists will send out missives designed to trigger outrage responses that aren't supported by the actual text in new legislation.

So the Trump cultists do not believe in quarrantine or mandatory treatment to protect society.

Got it.

May ebola land in your community and nobody does anything about it.

Fools abound, Trump was lied to by Fauci and Brix, she admitted to lying to him about the shots, and we all know that Fauci did.

DeSatanis is a tyrant.

Name a governor who didn’t. Trump forced everyone into this by allowing fauci n birx to lead him by his vagina.
Yet… which leader has made a course correction. It takes a very strong leader to stand up and completely reverse course.
This is just trump bots talking about a single legislative act that Desantis has reversed course on.
I think it shows leadership. Trump was the one in front leading every state and with Floridas grandma state, well what could he do.
Trump will never man up and admit he was wrong and reverse course.
He is doubling down on big gov and wanting to pay people, not just taxpayers or citizens to have babies. To avoid SS math.
Not sure why he doesn’t do something reasonable instead like audit SS and strip it of its blue state slush funding.
Instead he will pay petals and illegals to have babies.
He was is and will always be left.
If it is him vs RFKjr… two planned parenthood shrills, then that makes it interesting.

Anyone has serious issues if he believes Trump has a vagina and/or is pro Planned Parenthood.

Absolute, pure, black-hearted lies. SB 2006 was passed in direct reaction AGAINST the oversteps of the Covid Nazis. This is more disgusting that the Trump chumps’ claims that Cruz’s dad killed Kennedy.

Just look at the responses even here where too many people think that what the law or what the Supreme Court said - the actual plain language English words themselves- are not to be found in the written text, but can be altered at the whim of the personal opinion by the commentator.

We can argue about whether Socrates as reported by Plato, or the SC or the legislature of the State of California was correct in the outcome or we can argue about what they meant by what they said. But the actual words on paper, without extraordinary evidence, the actual words they intended to put down on the paper and this is not subject to random opinion.

The ability to detain, test, and quarantine an individual is existing Florida law. Such laws have long existed in every state. This bill added to the Florida law severe limitations on that ability. I almost wonder if National File is deliberately lying or is just such an absurdly ameteurish bunch of idiots that they don’t know how to read legislative mark-up to know the difference between what changes in the law an Act would make as opposed to the current law as reprinted in the law, despite every section clearly saying that underlined texts are additions and struck texts are deletions.

(1) A business entity, as defined in s. 768.38 to include any business operating in this state, may not require patrons or customers to provide any documentation certifying COVID-19 vaccination or post-infection recovery to gain access to, entry upon, or service from the business operations in this state.This subsection does not otherwise restrict businesses from instituting screening protocols consistent with authoritative or controlling government-issued guidance to protect public health.

(2) A governmental entity as defined in s. 768.38 may not require persons to provide any documentation certifying COVID-19
vaccination or post-infection recovery to gain access to, entry upon, or service from the governmental entity’s operations in this state. This subsection does not otherwise restrict governmental entities from instituting screening protocols consistent with authoritative or controlling government-issued guidance to protect public health.

1158 (2) of that section, to read:
1159 406.11 Examinations, investigations, and autopsies.—
1160 (1) In any of the following circumstances involving the
1161 death of a human being, the medical examiner of the district in
1162 which the death occurred or the body was found shall determine
1163 the cause of death and certify the death and shall, for that
1164 purpose, make or perform have performed such examinations,
1165 investigations, and autopsies as he or she deems shall deem
1166 necessary or as shall be requested by the state attorney:
1167 (a) When any person dies in this the state:
1168 1. Of criminal violence.
1169 2. By accident.
1170 3. By suicide.
1171 4. Suddenly, when in apparent good health.
1172 5. Unattended by a practicing physician or other recognized
1173 practitioner.

Have the deaths of unattended unexpected been thoroughly investigated in Florida?

Inquiring minds want to know.
