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.

Trump and DeSantis have to answer just ONE question. How are you going to flip 38+ electoral votes, dude?

We NEED Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona or some combo theirin.

And this is against the backdrop of mail-in voting, which isn't going away.

And stop whining about fraud. Yes, we wuz robbed. What are we gonna do about it? What is the tactical plan to win? Or will we see yet another conga line of keyboard warriors typing excitedly about CWII from Mom's basement?

Each of these guys did great and stupid things. Sure, let's hear about policy differences.

Personally, I'm done with the red ants saying "yeah, but Trump banned bump stocks and that makes him a commie" and then the black ants reply "sure, but then DeSantis ate a manatee and went to Harvard and he is a Deep State plant." Meanwhile, the Jar Shaker, laughing, spreads his wings.

If Trump or DeSantis can tell us how the f he will flip these EC votes, neither deserve the nomination.

That is one of the most dishonest articles I have ever read, and I am not surprised you posted it. Honesty is an afterthought for Trump and that seems to be the attitude of his supporters as well.

If you actually read the bill itself, it merely amended existing law to add certain provisions, in particular, preventing the implementation of a vaccination passport. What the author of the post is hyperventilating about was not even part of the bill - it was a part of the already existing law that the bill was amending. Furthermore, every other state and the federal government has similar provisions and has had them for over a hundred years. Every state has a law allowing them to quarantine someone with a highly contagious disease that has the potential to cause widespread illness and death. If they find someone with Ebola, for example, or typhus or the plague, they don’t have to allow the person to just go on their way and infect the community.

What makes this article (and by extension, you for disseminating it) is that it deliberately implies that this was some new provision of law that Desantis signed into law, when merely reading the bill and looking at what sections it actually added and removed from the existing text would prove this to be a lie.

If I am wrong about you and you do value honesty, I look forward to you actually reading the bill, seeing what was actually added to the existing law by the bill, and amending your comments.

The law Desantis signed didn’t add those provisions - that has been the law in most states for a very long time.

Actually, what you listed in the section makes “the bill makes clear” wasn’t actually a part of the bill. It was a part of the already existing law that the bill was amending.

Referring to my reply 35:

1905 case before the U.S. Supreme Court confirmed:

A state may enact a compulsory vaccination law, since the legislature has the discretion to decide whether vaccination is the best way to prevent smallpox and protect public health. The legislature may exempt children from the law without violating the equal protection rights of adults if the law applies equally among adults.

U.S. Supreme Court
Jacobson v. Massachusetts, 197 U.S. 11 (1905)

He did not sign any such thing. He signed a bill that added some new language to already existing law. The part about forced vaccinations was already there. It was not part of any bill that he signed into law. Here is the law as it existed in 2018 when he was running for governor:

Florida Statutes 2018 - #4 in the list includes the forced vaccination language

In 2021, DeSantis signed legislation to make it clear that forced vaccinations are NOT allowed in Florida.

Trump made Fauci a household name. In Washington DC and other liberal enclaves, there were “Thank you, Dr. Fauci” political yard signs. That NEVER happens without Trump pushing him to the forefront of the COVID information stream every day.
