DeSantis forms panel to counter CDC, a move decried by health professionals

[douglas9]

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Tuesday that he is forming a new state committee to counter policy recommendations from federal health agencies — a decision that medical professionals said will further politicize medicine in the Sunshine State.

At a news conference in South Florida, DeSantis also said he is requesting a statewide grand jury investigation into alleged “crimes and wrongdoing” related to the coronavirus vaccine. He provided few details on what specifically he wants a panel to probe, but in a press release, his office noted side effects like myocarditis, a type of heart inflammation, that have been observed in rare cases.

“In Florida, you know, it is against the law to mislead and to misrepresent, particularly when you’re talking about the efficacy of a drug,” DeSantis said.

The state Democratic Party needs to be completely restructured if we are ever going to take back the state.

9. I think that's just wonderful...

DeSantis-Denial of medical truths will do wonders for his disproportionately high number of geriatric patients who possess much less reserve than younger folk, meaning in layman’s terms that they are much less likely to recover from disease than younger folk. That’ll mean much more room in The Villages and elsewhere for new immigrants from the frozen North.

10. He doesn't care about Covid. It is about moving power to the states.

No doubt that he and his family are fully vaccinated.
