Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and the state’s top health department official are directly contradicting federal health recommendations and warning residents against getting a new COVID-19 booster, saying there’s not enough evidence it provides benefits that outweigh risks.

DeSantis, who is running for president, and Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo discussed the vaccine with doctors Wednesday on a Zoom call livestreamed on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. It repeated much of what they said a week ago during a live event in Jacksonville, in which they warned against the vaccine that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended this week.

Ladapo’s previous warnings against COVID-19 vaccines prompted a public letter from federal health agencies saying his claims were harmful to the public.

At this point, it's just a temper tantrum.

Democrats/scientists/experts/youth are the "annoying older brother" and anything they want is "stupid."

Lead poisoning (gasoline) really ruined a generation.

We can literally control them via reverse psychology. Like pulling strings on a puppet.

All we gotta say is sleeping in the middle of the street is dangerous and have ONE pink haired lesbian liberal hold a sign saying that and then film ONE guy with a camo hat with a fish hook in the bill to say in the biggest southern drawl that he ain't gonna let no woke tell him he can't take a nap on I-10.

Seriously, the easiest way to manipulate a narcissist is to tell them what they want to hear.

"Man, that's a great idea! Did you think of that yourself? Of course you did, I wish I was as smart as you!"

It’s kind of where that all ends up, isn’t it? They all start off with their own thing/brand/whatever, and as soon as they realize they either won’t beat Trump/are losing votes in their state/district they pivot to being the dumbest and most extreme fascist just to prove that they’re “cool” because ultimately, that’s where this game leads: the lowest common denominator.

Meanwhile, the rest of us sit and suffer.
