"DeSantis for the win" -- this is what poor leadership induces... Floridians Organize Mask Burning After DeSantis Signs Order Barring Vaccine Passports: ‘Masks Are Slavery’ https://www.mediaite.com/news/flori...-barring-vaccine-passports-masks-are-slavery/ A group of Floridians are planning to gather in South Florida next month to engage in a “mask burning” event, just weeks after Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said he would not allow a “vaccine passport” to come to the state. The event, titled the “Million Maskless March and Mask Burning,” is scheduled to take place on April 10 in Ft. Lauderdale. “April 10 marks one year of mask tyranny in Broward County, and we will mark that date with a celebration of freedom!” said a description for the event listed on Monday. Unlike DeSantis, who took a relatively hands-off approach to regulating residents of his state during the Covid-19 pandemic, leaders in South Florida imposed strict rules, including Broward County Administrator Bertha Henry, who passed an order last year requiring residents to wear masks outside the home. Those rules are still in effect, though in October, DeSantis prohibited counties from fining residents who refuse to comply. Organizers said the event would be conducted with oversight from local authorities, writing, “The mask burning is in full cooperation with local law enforcement and will be done in a safe and controlled manner.” They also suggested messages for signs that participants might bring, including, “MASKS ARE SLAVERY,” “NO MORE MASKS,” “MASKS OFF CHILDREN,” and “NO VACCINE PASSPORTS.” In addition to saying he would prohibit “vaccine passports,” which the Biden administration has been exploring as a possible option for the near future, DeSantis signed a law on Monday granting immunity to businesses for liability related to Covid-19. “We don’t want to be in a situation where people are scared of being sued just for doing normal things,” DeSantis said at a press conference. “Let individuals make the decisions about what they want to do. You want to listen to the band? Go do it. You don’t? That’s fine.”
Let's see what the study author, Moosa Tatar, actually said. "I am sure that COVID-19 is responsible for most of these excess deaths [in Florida]," Tatar was quoted in the Yahoo News report.
I'm sure all the protests around the world about masks and lockdowns are all DeSantis' doing. I'm sure we can lay them all at the feet of DeSantis, for without him to champion the cause of infidel, everyone would just fall in line with the new world order, right, GWB?
Funny, because that's not what "Moosa Tatar" said in the other article. Essentially the other article said that if you studied the difference in other states between excess deaths, you'd find a similar relationship and that Florida was not out of the ordinary from any other state in its reporting. Which is exactly what anyone with critical thinking skills would have concluded. "National Review - LOL" but "Moosa Tatar is the bomb".
Well when the actively promote DeSantis in the documents championing the protests..... then it is a DeSantis event. Not to mention the the protest is being organized by DeSantis donors and supporters. Let's take a look at the reality... this planned event is actually a part of DeSantis' campaign to position himself as a presidential candidate in 2024. The real purpose is to promote DeSantis... using anti-mask / anti-vaccine passport as prop to hold the event.
This comes back to The National Review selectively quoting Moosa Tatar to make an incorrect claim about the context.
DeSantis' Florida -- not only #1 in under-reported deaths but #1 in COVID variants. The joy of being #1. Florida COVID-19 variant cases surge in latest CDC numbers https://www.local10.com/news/florid...19-variant-cases-surge-in-latest-cdc-numbers/
Ah, so when people protest around the world, they're protesting because of their disdain for masks and lockdowns, but when they protest in Florida, it is directly because of Ron DeSantis. As I've stated, you've no ability at critical thinking.
