    And yet THAT governor is enjoying relatively low levels of infection. If you factor in mental and economic impact it seems that THAT governor is doing a much better job caring for his communities than yours.
    Now back to the fear mongering, it seems its all you know how to do.

    That's not really how it works.

    You can't just pumkin pick the results you want to see.

    It IS interesting why FL doesn't match the worse results of some other states that seem to be doing the same thing.

    The better approach would be to work out why FL results are what they are.

    Simply using FL as an excuse for trashing medical science is clearly a mistake.

    LOL your governor allowed daily mass protest for months on end during the middle of the worst part of the pandemic. Yea your governor really protected the citizens lol. Good grief lefty logic is amazing, it's as if you really believe those massive protests were some how some way was covid free. Science said no large crowds, science said social distancing, and science said you could spread even if asymptomatic, Your govenor did nothing but allow the spread and other states citizens to come in and leave and spread the virus. Pathetic example....

    The protests were absolutely NOT massive. And, they were confined to a small area Plus, many thanks for noticing that what was going on was a protest, rather than the riots some news outlets claimed.

    We do believe in speech and assembly rights here.

    Beyond that, it points to what I said about the actual performance being tied to the behavior of the people.

    Governors can encourage good behavior - or even mandate parts of it. But, if the state is full of sociopaths, the results can be bad (or good!) regardless of what the governor does.

    Our governor has taken numerous and continuing actions on COVID to limit spread as well as to work with national leadership, including the Trump administration, to resolve issues of fake PPE deliveries, fake test deliveries, and other nonsense that was the 2020 COVID response and to accelerate vaccination schedules.

    Those actions have come with consistent attention to results from medical science, Dr. Fauci, the CDC, WHO and other such serious experts and policy makers.

    Define massive in your view. There were more people in those shoe stores than there were in the Capitol building.

    --and has anyone noticed that the top 5 states are also about 43% of the total U.S. population?

    No, it doesn't. Indeed, it appears that in many states and in Israel, some of those having been injected are now testing postive.

    Of course the test is bogus and grossly inaccurate, so who really knows?

    Scamdemic all the way.

    It doesn't matter as long as the number of people who can test positive after a vaccine is sufficiently low. This idea that there has to be zero transmission is, to put it mildly, retarded.

    I don't see anything that you have to complain about, AT ALL.

    First of all, there is no justification for jumping to conclusons in any of these cases. The steps to take involve having experts figure out what actually happened. Was the test faulty? Was the individual actually vaccinated as per instructions? Does the individual actually have a living population of COVID causing viruses? Etc.

    Beyond that, there are issues related to how or whether the vaccine should be continued to be used - the question of whether it is safe enough. For that, one has to note that millions of vaccines have been given and that the rate of hospitalization for COVID of those individuals is vanishingly small - FAR smaller than for the general public.

    Its still the case that getting vaccinated IS the safe thing to do - EVER IF every one of these anomolous cases is found to be a direct cause of the vaccine, which is absolutely not what is being found.

    well said however facts and common sense are not welcome by those in support of invasive, big govt.

    If you simply step back and analyze deaths reported to be covid related, the super-super majority are elderly and elderly with co-morbidities.
    The rate of the rest of the population which dies from covid is quite small
    Common sense would say to first protect the most vulnerable so you go forth and do that

    Then, when you target areas for vaccination that has a super-majority of elderly residing there (the Villages is an example) you get accused of doing it for your friends

    The Democrat media and Democrat party will stop at nothing to try and unseat the governor of FL

    I'm not complaining.

    I am simply trying to find the random rational public dialogue. Sometimes I find it, more often I don't.

    For example, some don't understand (and don't want to understand) the difference between a vaccine and an injectable gene editing medical device.

    I don't know of a state where vaccination strategy hasn't focused on exactly what you are saying here.

    Your attempt to make this a partisan issue hits me as pathetic.

    The issue is what is the best strategy for America (and the world) to defend against this pandemic.

    The longer it lasts, the more we will see variants that are resiliant and/or are better at spreading themselves.

    The objection to the COVID policy of the gov of FL is based on his rejection of medical science and the resultant policy direction being promoted by experts. Period.

    I trust it far more than a supposed scientist, given a position that constantly changes and say there is no end to this.....that is where I depart!

    Then we have Florida to thank for sending back North a population of herd immunity. When this takes place will you return to Global Warming to instill fear?

    Hurricane season will be even more active this year than last. We have rising sea temperatures to thank for that. Right now we cap out at cat5 but soon enough we'll have to re-design that scale because every hurricane will be a cat 5 and we'll be losing tens of thousands of people to each storm and hundreds of billions of dollars in damages it will do. It will render entire sections of our coast-line uninhabitable. Is there some reason we shouldn't be fearful of that future?

    How do those state’s deaths per million compare? Instead of ranting at only deSantis, how about being honest/

    Kinda shoots down the DeSantis as COVID-Santan, doesn’t it?

    rejection of science? Which "science" would that be? You really need to stop getting your headlines from the Democrat media.
