context: people have been getting these shots for 2 years now. they are clearly safe and effective. what a waste of time and money by DeSantis. >
  
  It could be like 30 years later somebody dies, they'd still say it was the shot >
  
  Someone dropped a piano on that guy, he's dead. Must have been the jab. >
  
  It made him attract pianos like a magnet. >
  
  This POS is undermining vaccines, which will lead to many unnecessary deaths, just to score some political points... truly despicable. >
  
  And the deaths will likely be those who vote for him >
  
  Unfortunately, it will likely be many others as well.. >
  
  Put him and his wife under oath and ask them how many shots they've gotten. It's definitely at least 4. >
  
  It's not about health concerns but proving that he can convene a panel to investigate things Dems like that his brand doesn't like.  It's a dress rehearsal for him. >
  
  
  “It is impossible to imagine that so many influential individuals came to this view on their own. Rather, it is likely that individuals and companies with an incentive to do so created these perceptions for financial gain,” DeSantis suggested in his petition.
  
  Plenty of "influential individuals" came to this conclusion on their own by looking at the evidence, and relying on the knowledge gained from years of schooling and working in the field of epidemiology.  
  Decades ago when scientists created a polio vaccine, most of the experts in the fields of public health looked at the trials, looked at the results from the general population and came to the conclusion that it was a good idea to distribute the vaccine.  It's no different with the covid vaccines.  DeSantis knows this, and as a person attacking lifesaving vaccines to score political points, he is sociopath. >
  
  Headline grabbing and campaigning while wasting all of the people’s money >
  
  The vaccines dramatically reduce the risk of hospitalization or death from Covid-19. Can Ron Desantis say he hasn't been vaccinated? >
  
  They should totally go through with this.  And then (possibly other states) should apply the same logic and go after fossil fuel companies, and other polluters that have caused harm on a world wide scale.  
  Vaccines will make it thru, Fossil fuel companies not so much. >
  
  Red Meat For The GOP Base. He wants to keep COVID in the news because that's all he has to run on. >
  
  The man is utterly shameless in the damage he’s causing. He knows there’s nothing to the vaccine bull shit, but he’s okay with letting 100s or more die to score political points with morons. I don’t know how people like him live with themselves. I couldn’t kill people even for the cause of saving my own son’s life, let alone for a political office >

  DeSantis made his bones as a lawyer defending a concentration camp. To the extent he has a soul, it is a midden. >
  
  I wasn’t aware of that nest little fact >
  
  We need Ron under oath on whether he took vaccine or not. Also, let's look at his investments. >
  
  People who hate the FDA somehow love this? >
  
  "Denounced." Thats a nice word for it.
  When I talked to an expert in the field shw didn't bother to address the politics of the situation. Instead, she pulled up a recent study that showed the difference in mortality vs. vaccination. Her only argument was something along the lines of "Everybody in Florida who could have been saved by the vaccine is dead by now." Obviously it was an exaggeration, but I think she made her point. >
  
  It’s just fan service for cranks. >
  
  What “health” experts?  Because “experts” according to who?
