Florida lawmakers to meet in special session over vaccine mandates
(Reuters) - Florida lawmakers will meet in a special legislative session Monday, called by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis with the goal of thwarting coronavirus vaccine mandates.
In a week-long session, the lawmakers, largely dominated by the Republican party, are slated to consider four bills that would impose new penalties on businesses and local governments that require workers to get vaccinated against COVID-19, according to the agenda released last week by the governor's office.
"No cop, no firefighter, no nurse, nobody should be losing their job because of these jabs," DeSantis said in a media release, referring to injections as jabs.
"We're going to be striking a blow for free dumb," he said. DeSantis has long been a supporter of voluntary vaccines, and has received one himself, according to media reports.
