Ron DeSantis Signed COVID Law Allowing Forced Injections by ‘Any Means Necessary’

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 made Fauci a household name.

Your beef is with Pence and the rest of the swamp. If this wasn't led by Fauci, it would have been led by some other 'I am the science' type. Our institutions are filled to the brim with those types. That's not even arguable.

This forum is full of people with outstanding hindsight. Some even consider themselves 'experts' and no doubt would have breezed through that whole charade better than Trump.

That’s complete and utter bullshit. Trump put Pence in charge of the task force. Trump held press conferences every day with Fauci where he let Fauci run the show. Trump took Fauci’s advice and followed it to the letter. Trump did those things. No amount of blaming the swamp will make that untrue.

At the time, of course, we didn’t know what COVID was or how to fight it, so I don’t look at much of what happened during the spring and summer of 2020 and “blame” anyone, but those things happened and the fact that Fauci was front and center is 100% on Trump.

What he signed into law is not what the poster claims. The law the poster is talking about has been on the books for probably 100 years or more, and every state and the federal government have similar laws. The bill Desantis signed prohibited business and schools from requiring proof of vaccination for Covid.

“ Or is everyone done with the stupid agitprop articles yet?”

Nah.
That’s most of what’s online.
Reasonable thoughtful discussion?
Heck no, better to shout and scream at people and call them losers.

Here's SB1262 which was passed in 2002 and signed into law by Jeb Bush. Page 5, line 23 is where the vaccinations were added to existing law. SB1262 - 2002

Here's H0697, which was passed in 2015 and signed into law by Rick Scott. Page 5, paragraph 4 is the relevant paragraph where the word "isolated" was added. H697 - 2015

And here's HB 7B, which was passed in 2021 and signed into law by Ron DeSantis. Starting on page 3, paragraph 4, all references to "vaccinated" and "vaccination" were removed. HB 7B

The link in the original post doesn't involve the portion of the law that allowed (or now, doesn't allow) forced vaccination. That language was in the law already from the 2002 version of the law seen above. You can tell that the vaccine portion was not an addition in the original poster's link because that portion is not in green. The words in green are what was added by the June 2021 bill, then in late 2021, they did another revision to remove the 2002 vaccination language.

No, it’s been on the books since 2002 when Jeb Bush signed it into law. It was updated in 2015 when Rick Scott signed an update that allowed “isolation” in addition to vaccination. Then, in June 2021, Ron DeSantis signed an update that disallowed businesses requiring vaccination records. Then in late 2021, he signed another update that removed the forced vaccination language.

Quarantine laws in Florida go back to the 1800’s. Perhaps the current version of the law was passed in 2002, but there is a much longer history than that.

Not sure, but I also don’t know if he’s read anything about the adverse results since then or not. He may be just continuing on with what he thought about it from the early days when most people believed the fearporn to the extreme.

Trump does do that. He never pushed making anything mandatory though.

These words in the bill were kind of scary.

“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.

People forget that the reason forced vaccination was added to the law wasn’t for some manufactured virus/vaccine combo like COVID-19. It was in the wake of 9/11 and was really for Ebola and other types of diseases like that where death would occur within days of exposure. Those provisions were never really controversial until COVID-19, which has pretty much been the worst marketing campaign for vaccines in history.

If someone has West African Ebola (kills 90% of the people it infects) or some other extremely dangerous virus, the state SHOULD be able to force isolation or quarantine. That’s what those provisions in the law are for, not for a flu-like virus that is extremely survivable.

Did you misread my post? I understand quarantine, and yes it can be necessary.

You left out the part talking about forced injection and volunteers to force inject people.

Did you miss that part?

Well of course, but that is not what they did. Laws get broken and interpreted incorrectly all the time.

The entire linked article is pure BS. I gave you the citations of the actual law showing what actually happened. If you continue to believe that Ron DeSantis signed something to grant the power to do forced injections to the state government, you’re being a willful moron.

Nope. Not tired at all. We're heading into primary season and FR is going to be silly for the next year and two months.

Grab popcorn. The dumbassery will far surpass anything in the WuFlu/Ukraine threads.
