DeSantis plans to call a special legislative session on vaccine mandates

Source: Tampa Bay Times

TALLAHASSEE — Florida’s governor has declared war on mandatory COVID-19 vaccination.

At a news conference in Clearwater, Gov. Ron DeSantis laid out a litany of legislative policy priorities that would undermine federal requirements that workers be vaccinated against the coronavirus.

Among the laws DeSantis wants to see passed:

A proposal making businesses liable for any medical harm that results from a mandatory vaccination

An addendum to the 2021 law protecting businesses from coronavirus-related liability if those businesses mandate vaccination for their employees

A measure allowing parents to collect attorney’s fees if they win a lawsuit against a school district for enacting illegal coronavirus restrictions

A law making it clear that it’s illegal for governments to mandate the vaccine for government employees

Pfizer, two days ago. Slight soreness at the injection site if I rub it but no noticeable systemic reactions.
