FLORIDA TO FINE BUSINESSES AND HOSPITALS OVER CORONAVIRUS VACCINATIONS

Posted by Scott Lucas | Nov 19, 2021 | 17



A RALLY SUPPORTING THE WEARING OF MASKS TO CONTAIN CORONAVIRUS, PINELLAS COUNTY,
FLORIDA (OCTAVIO JONES/REUTERS)



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


FLORIDA’S REPUBLICAN GOV. RON DESANTIS SIGNS A BILL FINING BUSINESSES AND
HOSPITALS WHO REQUIRE CORONAVIRUS VACCINATIONS OR REGULAR TESTING FOR EMPLOYEES.

DeSantis hailed the opposition to containment measures — in the state with the
third-highest rate of Coronavirus deaths and cases in the US, and the highest
this summer — as “the strongest piece of legislation that’s been enacted
anywhere in the country”.

Through the Florida Board of Education, the governor has already imposed fines
on school districts who require masks in classrooms. Seeking re-election in
2022, and possibly a Presidential run in 2024, he has loudly defied the Biden
Administration’s plan for vaccine requirements for workers in government and in
large companies.

Florida is the first state with a mandate to punish businesses and hospitals who
carry out the vaccination/testing requirements. The Republican-controlled
legislature passed the measure largely along party lines.

The legislation threatens businesses with fewer than 100 employees with fines of
$10,000 for each perceived infraction. Those with 100 or more employees can be
fined $50,000 each time.

The bill also codifies the ban on school mask requirements. Lawmakers approved
$5 million to fund legal battles against the Biden Administration.

Mandates

Florida has recorded 60,846 deaths and 3,711,612 cases. The state largely
escaped the initial wave of Coronavirus, but fatalities soared from summer 2020
as DeSantis supported Donald Trump’s opposition to containment. This summer, as
the Delta variant increased risk and severity of the virus, Florida was
recording 20% of all US cases.

But DeSantis praised himself and GOP colleagues on Thursday, “Leadership means
you get in there and you do what you can to stand by people. And that’s exactly
what we did today.”

Requirements

Republican politicians are now appearing along anti-vaccination activists at
speeches and rallies. On Thursday, as many people wore red “Operation Freedom of
Choice” T-shirts, some yelled, “The vaccine is the virus.”

DeSantis staged the signing at a car dealership on the outskirts of Brandon,
Florida, seen as a nod to the vulgar “Let’s Go, Brandon” chant attacking
President Joe Biden since early October. The governor coyly said, “I think
Brandon is a great American city.”

    Freedom of Choice should prevail. Those who feel that they will benefit from
    the Covid vaccine should take it. Those that do not feel that they will
    benefit from the vaccine, should not. Young, healthy people have no reason
    to think they will benefit from this vaccine. The Death rate in Florida is
    at approximately 1% and most of those were the very old and the very ill.

      Political garbage. Anti-mandate is NOT the same as anti vaccine.the
      article fails to mention that new Covid cases in Florida is among the
      lowest in the nation and less than many states with harsh mandates that
      have not led to better outcomes.

      Or Truth and Fact supporters.. This should be a discussion about
      scientific fact regarding the pro’s and con’s of the vaccine. It’s also
      about personal freedoms only provided in this country, until it changes
      enough where it is now longer a country that protects our liberty and
      Freedom. For those that take the vaccine great. For those that don’t, what
      doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.

        Actually, the unvaccinated should be called murderers when they infect
        others who then die. But such people are so selfish that they have no
        shame. Some of them probably think they also have the right to drive
        drunk of they choose to.

    Oh please. You liberals are so ridiculous! I don’t even try to talk to them
    anymore as they think they know everything. Well y’all don’t make decisions
    for me and mine. So sit on it.
