Gov. DeSantis seeks permanent ban against mask and COVID-19 vaccine mandates

Gov. DeSantis seeks permanent ban against mask and COVID-19 vaccine mandates
My News 13 (Orlando), 1/17/2023

Gov. Ron DeSantis announced plans Tuesday to permanently eliminate COVID-19 mandates in Florida during the upcoming legislative session.

The pending proposal will permanently ban mask mandates and COVID-19 vaccination requirements under state law. It also plans to ban vaccine passports and provide free speech protections for healthcare workers.

Details are few, as no legislation is yet filed. DeSantis, however, is championing the move as an effort to defend the livelihoods of Floridians.

“We look forward to making the protections we have enacted for Floridians against the biomedical security state permanent and want to ensure that no Floridians face discrimination based on vax status,” DeSantis said.

The GOP mortality rate is going to be something to see if they continue down this path every chance they get.
