Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) “will fine local governments $5,000 for each employee who is required to be vaccinated, threatening some cities and counties with millions of dollars in penalties for adopting strict vaccine mandates,” the Miami Herald reports.

Said DeSantis: “We are not going to let people get fired because of the vaccine mandate. You don’t just cast aside people who have been serving faithfully over this issue, over what’s basically a personal choice over their individual health.”

He's doing all he can to trash his reelection campaign.
It's not personal choice in a pandemic. Your actions affect many people.
He knows the courts will reject this idea, but then it's all about the base...all 40% of them.

Can't he count?

This governor is in a different county every other day for a news conference. He’s killing us. Literally. Who will be his dem challenger? Where are the dissenting voices? He’s become a little Napoleon with his threats ..we cannot cower to hm but I don’t see any resistance except for the law suits being filed. O, god. I’m distressed 😩
