Millions of people lost their livelihoods and suffered financial harm over the last several years due to pointless COVID-19 vaccination requirements. Finally, at least one conservative is looking to stand up and do something about it, and it’ll be no shock that Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida leading the way.
DeSantis announced on Saturday that he’s joining forces with Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo to go after mRNA vaccine manufacturers such as Pfizer for misleading about the efficacy of their vaccines, leading to overbearing, needless public mandates.
DeSantis has long been a trend-setter in fighting big cultural battles, from Critical Race Theory to COVID-19 mandates, and there is no doubt the fight over the coronavirus long ago left the scientific arena and entered into a cult-like state for many Americans. You’ve still got people who swear by mask-wearing despite it being so obviously ineffective.
But it was the state and federal vaccine mandates that did the most damage. Manufacturers of the shots in collusion with the CDC and the White House insisted that their products slowed the spread of COVID-19. That falsehood was used as the entire basis for the public coercion that created great financial harm to individuals. Those people have never been made whole, and some entities like the US Military continue to cling to their useless mandates to this day.
If it wasn’t for Trump and DeSantis, we would be in even deeper $*it.
