Ron DeSantis to Joe Biden: No FEMA vaccine ‘camps’

Sweet, more promotional literature from Pharma!

 

No, the point is valid. What we need to understand, is whether the bottleneck resides in the last mile (that is, after a state receives a shipment of vaccines, how efficiently they distribute the doses to vaccination points and get them into people's arms) or resides with the lack of sufficient number of vaccines.

If it is the latter, then you can set up huge vaccination sites with the help of FEMA (sites, not "camps" which is histrionic political speech like I said much earlier in this thread) but you won't advance the solution of the problem, if those huge sites have no vaccine. They'll be sitting idle.

If it's the former, then more help is needed.

The governor seems to indicate that it is the latter; that if he is given more vaccines, they will find their way into people's arms with his existing distribution network. If this is true, then the governor does have a point. I don't exclude that it is not true, but it could be.

It seems like at one point the federal administration said "but you have plenty of vaccine; we sent you 3 million and you have vaccinated only 1.5 million" to which the governor said, "those other 1.5 million are the second doses I'm holding back."

Assuming that this is accurate, the governor does have a point, and adding FEMA wouldn't have improved the situation if it is not coupled with more vaccines.

 

Publix gives $100,000 to DeSantis, gets exclusive COVID vaccination deals in Florida | Commentary

 

no personnel nor equipment to handle the current versions of vaccine. Please educate yourself and stop the partisanship

Neither Pfizer or Moderna vaccines can be handled by pharmacies like they can the flu shot. Each vile has 10 doses and you don't want to waste a drop unlike NY has done. Pharmacies don't have the freezers nor the medical staff to monitor folks after the dose is given.

Give a little credit to the good work that is being done and has been done. THis is not about your beloved Democrats and how they can save the day

 

Bull crap

it's not about having more warm bodies. Are you even clued in about the handling requirements of the 2 available vaccines or is your hatred of any non-Democrat so strong that you can't see truth? Please go back and turn on ABC or whatever "news" you watch so you can continue your indoctrination............sheesh

 

He ain't cheap, but he can be bought.

 

Sure they can. It's just not as easy.
It is my little pharmacy that will give me my vaccine when I'm up.

 

Better late than never. DeSantis fought hard to resist FEMA help, but it seems he finally gave up.

Florida gets $245 million from FEMA to help vaccinate more people
https://www.miamiherald.com/news/coronavirus/article248945894.html
The Federal Emergency Management Agency announced that Florida will receive $245 million to cover costs associated with transporting, storing and handling COVID-19 vaccines.

The new FEMA funds, announced on Monday, aim to help Florida vaccinate more people. As of Tuesday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that 7.8% of Floridians have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, which ranks 18th among the 50 states, and that 59% of all vaccines distributed to the state have made it into someone’s arm, a figure that ranks 42nd among the 50 states.

 

We're number 42!

Doesn't have the same cachet as we're number 1!

 

The mini-me strikes again

Florida hotel slapped with warning for hosting maskless DeSantis crowd
https://www.orlandosentinel.com/new...0210221-hazvwr6z65fbbjwvojzt3k5ldq-story.html
A Hilton hotel in West Palm Beach got a government warning Friday for letting a pack of people gather mask free during a news conference held by Gov. Ron DeSantis.

A crowd of 100 to 150 people rallied Friday inside the Hilton Palm Beach Airport, violating the county’s COVID-19 mask ordinance.

An estimated 80% of the crowd wore no masks. DeSantis himself showed up without a mask and remained that way.

Although DeSantis has prevented counties from collecting fines on people who violate mask-wearing ordinances, businesses can be fined for not enforcing the law.

 

Good for DeSantis. I hope he will run for POTUS.

Meanwhile, Floridians are uniting against the masked insanity. DeSantis needs to repeal his EO from last year.

DeSantis proposes new law to prevent people from covering their mouth and nose when they sneeze - calls the practice
disgusting and useless ...! Once again Florida on the forefront of medical research!

 

Did you not read the article? There is method and reason in his position. DeSantis is doing a great job.

 

No we're not. We dont mind wearing them when required.

 

Yes. There are no FEMA camps and no one has suggested building one.

 

Not you silly, the others who object to government usurpation.

 

Your article claims that Florida (in general) unites against masks, and as someone who lives in FL, I can assure we are not uniting against anything. Not every Floridian is a political hack. I don't know anyone who whines about masks being some kind of assault against our freedoms.

Did I sense a heavy Russian accent on the video? Or was it Turkish/Iranian? I know the Newsbud founder is Turkish-Iranian, and someone who was fired from the FBI almost as soon as she was hired.

 

And naturally you are not the least bit interested in her experiences while working for the FBI, no your mind is eyes wide shut, but I've known that.

Some Floridians are uniting, but you are not one of them, no doubt. You will continue to wear your mask until some authority figure tells you it's OK to take it off. The Church of The Poisoned Mind.

 

That isn't what the piece claims. He said the problem with expanding the effort is lack of VACCINE, not vaccination sites. If that's incorrect, please post evidence that he's lying.

 

Did someone suggest we build FEMA Camps?

Answer: No, no one even hinted such thing, so DeSantis lied.

As for vaccination sites, anyone who lives down here knows there a mile long lines to vaccination sites, so there was indeed a problem with not enough sites.

However, it seems DeSantis has finally seen the light and we now have federal vaccination sites. But then again, we always knew he was opposing it just for the sake of opposing it. That is what political hacks do (its in their DNA).

This is how desperate people are:

 

Of the dozen or so people I know who've taken the injection here in Florida, nobody had a problem getting the vaccine, and only 1 has died from it. The rest seem to be OK weeks later.

 

Cool story bro.

 

I said nothing about FEMA camps. I stated:
He said the problem with expanding the effort is lack of VACCINE, not vaccination sites
Surely you understand that having a PERFECT DISTRIBUTION system in place means nothing if you don't have a product to distribute?

 

No, DeSantis did. He is the topic, not you.

 

If the allegations are true, it would be pretty corrupt indeed.

Is DeSantis playing politics with COVID vaccines? Crist wants a federal investigation
https://www.miamiherald.com/news/state/florida/article249423330.html
U.S. Rep. Charlie Crist is calling on the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate whether Gov. Ron DeSantis’ “blatantly political vaccine distribution decisions” — including a pop-up site reserved only for residents of two Lakewood Ranch zip codes — violate federal law.

Crist, D-St. Petersburg, a former governor, sent a letter to acting U.S. Attorney General Monty Wilkinson on Sunday, writing that DeSantis is “establishing coronavirus vaccine distribution and administration sites to select locations to benefit political allies and donors, over the needs of higher risk communities and existing county waitlists.”
