    DeSantis Delivers Doses for the Elites.

    What a great program, select POD vaccination locations at some of the wealthiest communities in the state serving up boutique state sponsored dedicated vaccine allocations.

    Ivy League Senators in Orlando rallying the crowd about the elites and their country clubs. The Ivy League Governor, prioritizing vaccine distributions to some of the most elite folks in the nation. And, interestingly, with his next election about 20 months away, DeSantis has received more campaign donations in Feb 2021 than he has ever received.

    Who knows, maybe this one community had a connection straight to Pfizer or Moderna, it's certainly an alternate possibility. But this selective POD distribution and the coincidence of spiking campaign contributions sure does look like the smoke that indicates a fire to me.

    Ocean Reef Club is not typical of the Keys. It sits at the north end and is not representative of the rest of the Florida Keys.

    Look at it this way--if what happens here in the US follows what's happened in Israel, we will soon have many more dead old codgers. Dead or infirm for the rest of their lives.

    IDK. I was told today by someone they could probably pull some strings and get me in the next time they have one of these black outreach vax events as long as I am willing to drop everything and get there when I get the call. It would basically be like flying on standby but for a jab the next time one of the churches was having one. That was how their very white self got theirs. Told them I would pass but thanks anyway.

    Notice that the wealthy are giving themselves the vaccine early.

    I find myself curiously unconcerned with using the 1% as guinea pigs.

    DeathSantis is a piece of **** but show me the connection between campaign donations and vaccine shipments and, no, media saying they are 'among the first' doesn't count. Nah, the issue of who got vaxxed first in FL is blown because Democrats went full retard and originally tried to make it about race. If the left wants to win FL and eject DeathSantis (which I hope they do) they'll need to be smarter about this. Florida is too centrist and too diverse to fall for sort of boring and obvious trollbait tactics the far-left can win most other states with.

    There was always going to be a first state to get the vaccine, a first county to get a vaccine, a first hospital or distribution site to get the vaccine, and a first person to get the vaccine. But simply recognizing that isn't proof of anything nefarious. The MSM are masters of fabricating outrage and until I'm show something concrete I'm going to operate on the notion that this is another one of those times.

    I've read a few articles on this now and they're pretty much all the same. They mention how 'rich and White' the residents are, they try to make it seem like its a donor kickback arrangement without actually stating that the vaccinated were donors (because there's no way they could legally have that information), they find a way to worm in some irrelevant non-fact about 'the needs of poor minority communities', and they drop everyone's favorite word "investigation" (which is strange considering they've already come to a conclusion so why is there need to investigate?). I hate MoRon DeathSantis so the minute I see something concrete I'll add it to the list of reasons why I'll be voting against him. But until that happens I'm not going to be suckered along on another MSM witch hunt.

    And one other thing. We've been hearing for a solid month now that Pres Biden has single-handedly orchestrated the entire American vaccination effort and did so from scratch on day 1. So if the underlying issue with one county getting vaccine first is that others had to go without then, ummmmmmm, isn't that Pres Biden's fault for not giving Florida enough in the first place? I mean, according to the MSM, Joe has been making deals happen left and right day and night! So if those 'poor vulnerable minority communities' didn't have enough vaccine then shouldn't the investigations start at the White House?

    So, your short answer is yes, you are calling it fake news?

    You can apply to get the vaccine and completely lie and they DO NOT VERIFY the form. I already know multiple people who have received the vaccine claiming they're in healthcare and education. They’re in real estate and finance:)

    When the vaccine gets to me, I'll take it. I'm in no hurry. In the meantime, the more people who get it, rich or poor, the safer I am. It is all a dawn of goodness to me. I live in Florida, btw, born and raised.
