Contradicting federal health officials, Florida Gov. DeSantis recommends against new COVID booster

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and the state’s top health department official are directly contradicting federal health recommendations and warning residents against getting a new COVID-19 booster, saying there’s not enough evidence it provides benefits that outweigh risks.

DeSantis, who is running for president, and Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo discussed the vaccine with doctors Wednesday on a Zoom call livestreamed on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. It repeated much of what they said a week ago during a live event in Jacksonville, in which they warned against the vaccine that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended this week.

Ladapo’s previous warnings against COVID-19 vaccines prompted a public letter from federal health agencies saying his claims were harmful to the public.

Spreading false information or creating a more dangerous health environment is unforgivable.

The calculation is as simple as it is disgusting: If he can inspire enough turnout to more than make up for the deaths he causes, then he comes out ahead.

Didn’t work out so well for Republicans in 2022, though.

Their math ain’t adding up.

Probably shouldn’t have spent so much effort damning public education, huh?

He has calculated that the number of votes he would lose from recommending the vaccine is greater than the number hed lose from them dying to covid. Unfortunately for him, hes bad at math.

Gee Ron DeSuckass, if you let all your kill-billy followers die to COVID now, who will vote for you in the next election year?
