    What disease ? We’ve seen no unique symptoms.

    The disease that QGator2414 was talking about. He hasn't been very specific, so you'll have to take it up with him.

    And he had bad data. While we were not going to be the same as England as we lagged in participation. The 95% mantra that all the US states tried to peddle with no hard data is just not believable when you get the hard data from other countries.

    DeSantis eventually realized this. He is definitely the gold standard in a circumstance that was impossible to navigate perfectly.

    The disease is not that dangerous. We would not have seen 3-4 million deaths with zero shots based on severity and seroprevalence. Let alone the all the shots that don’t stop the disease.

    What was the death rate among those who were unvaccinated? What was the death rate among those who were vaccinated? If those who were unvaccinated had been vaccinated, how many fewer people who have died?

    We don’t know? What was the seroprevalence of the vaccinated? What was the seroprevalence of the unvaccinated? What was comorbidity rate of the vaccinated? What was the comorbidity rate of the unvaccinated? What if we put more focus on therapeutics? What if what if what if?

    But yes. You can create a model to give you what you want.

    We never got the hard data on vaccinate and unvaccinated in this country. It was shameful by the way.

    You will find where I said he was not perfect back in 2021. Florida like every other state failed to provide the hard data based on vaccination status. It does not change the fact he is and was the gold standard on how to lead through this.

    There is no evidence that those who rejected live attenuated unicorn dust injections died of unicorn poisoning at greater rates than those cowed into taking the injections.

    so the guy that was heavily advocating for covid vaccines through mid-2021 is the gold standard. Got it.

    The guy who saw shutting kids out of school was the worst public health policy implemented in our lifetimes. The guy who saw the damage of lockdowns. The guy who understood the risk groups who could benefit potentially from the shot and made sure they were the first to get it. Yes that guy is the gold standard.

    I was being coy. There is no such thing as a new disease called Covid. There are no unique symptoms.

    “I think the most important thing with the data: If you are vaccinated, fully vaccinated, the chance of you getting seriously ill or dying from COVID is effectively zero,”

    “If you look at the people who are being admitted to hospitals, over 95 percent of them are either not fully vaccinated or not vaccinated at all. These vaccines are saving lives. They are reducing mortality.”

    Yes, DeSantis was swept up in the madness. For a time.

    You sure understand how propaganda works as you have fallen for it. Reciting old quotes to mislead is definitively a tactic.

    But you are correct in that DeSantis is the Gold Standard.

    Glad you understand he is.
