    Since you apparently believe that you should be able to tell women and girls what they can do with their bodies, what do you think the law should be with respect to abortions?

    DeSantis was pro-vaccine until he wasn't. He pushed the vaccine while opposing any type of vaccine mandate including mandates imposed by private companies applicable to their employees and customers (see cruise lines). Apparently, he's now doing a 180 on the vaccine itself suggesting that there was something nefarious in its development. While he may get away with it low information Republican primary voters and even that remains to be seen it's going to really backfire should get the nomination since there are plenty of videos of him promoting the vax. He's going to have explain why he changed his position.

    At some point, if I recall correctly, he also suggested that, instead of getting vaccinated, wait until you get COVID and then get the monoclonal antibody infusion. He continued to say this even after it was determined that the infusion didn’t work with respect to the Omicron variant.

    I agree. The imitator has contracted a variant of the derangement syndrome that afflicted the original. DeSantis is rapidly displaying symptoms of the syndrome the originally afflicted and still afflicts the Orange One.

    I don't think he went quite as far as discouraging people from getting vaccinated although your correct regarding his promotion of Regeneron. He criticized the Biden Administration for cutting subsidies and ending support of its distribution of the drug even after Omicron became the dominant variant with the data indicated that it wasn't very effective against Omicron. Rather than an actual belief in the efficacy of Regeneron I think it was more of a case of DeSantis never missing an opportunity to criticize Biden especially among his low information supporters.

    The last thing we need is a president without principles, a steady moral compass if you will. A certain amount of fudging is understandable, but
    Utterly laughable! You trot out one letter from UCLA and think that compares to the WORLDWIDE respect for Fauci and the CDC. You’re simply a shameless shill. It’s becoming embarrassing.

    Switch of vaccine vendors at Florida ALFs caused ‘chaos’

    DeSantis opens new battle with Biden over Covid treatments


    His boy made a metric ton of money running regeneron clinics from a No bid contract they won during the Covid response.

    The regeneron treatments seemed to work up until omicron but personally I thought they were being pushed as a prophylactic in order to raise demand amd keep numbers up. Even when imdevimab and casirivimab were shown to be ineffective, the clinics switched to bamlanivimab and etesevirimab because while they weren't effective either they weren't given the order to stop administration immediately like they were with the other two at that time. A couple weeks later and they were shut down too once the order came and forced their hand. This is relevant because the vaccines were administered at the same locations by the company as well.

    Pay attention. I only brought the letter out because people used the author of the letter to say Ladapo was a bad candidate. The author of the letter is what is wrong with healthcare and public health. They wrote a glowing review for the man and a few months later flipped.

    There is a reason they have not responded. And you have ignorantly to the point.

    I don’t support vaccine mandates for vaccines that had not completed full safety evaluations.

    As time has gone on most people aren’t event getting the newest super booster. Ask yourself why?

    Too many companies are dropping the “mandates”, granted things are a bit different but as time goes on I think most people are going to realize it was a too far.

    As far as cruise lines they still required vaccinations for passengers and it really did little to stop outbreaks on cruises. Similar to the silly mask policy on planes where a piece of cloth could be used and did almost zero to prevent transmission. It was for show.

    I would argue that the qualification of having principles is a great idea in principle however it seems to be something that is hard to define depending upon who you ask.
    I give you serial cheater Bill Clinton lying under oath about Monica as a Dem example.

    And GWB with the questionable IRAQ intel as a Pub example.

    so even if the great majority of the country supports the Roe decision, you are willing to support tyrannical dictator wannabes as long as they ignore the great majority of people in the country who believe that Ros is correct? what freedoms and liberties are you willing to sacrifice to keep Roe nullified? Free elections? Open press? equal rights? all not as important as keeping Roe nullified? Give me a Kasich or Romney or Hogan or Kinzinger but keep Des, DT, and their ilk to hell out of positions of authority

    About right. Still waiting for those of you who peddled the doctor and their politicos to answer why the same doctor wrote a glowing letter of recommendation for Dr. Ladapo a couple months before going political.

    Still ignoring the letter of recommendation written by the doctor from UCLA who went political. Par for the course.

    The reason for letter is what we call in education as “pass the trash,” Ladapo becomes someone else’s problem.

    You guys are such drama queens.
    You are just the lefts version of the whiny righties who ran away crying.

    You will hate anyone with an R. Period.

    Heres a suggestion. Instead of putting pitching a fit everytime a conservative breathes, put up a good candidate of your own.

    But you wont. You'll just keep using nazi references while your side exterminates millions of unborn humans.

    You have zero moral high ground with me, so stop even making the effort.
