DeSantis spokesperson: 'A board member making public, false accusations about state policy runs the risk of jeopardizing the constructive working relationship between Florida Healthy Kids and the board and state agencies they work closely with...'
In March, Florida’s DeSantis-appointed Surgeon General had announced the Sunshine State would advise against giving COVID-19 shots to healthy children, bucking advice from the CDC.
The Florida Department of Health warned of ‘a lack of conclusive evidence’ for ‘transitioning’ children and ‘the potential for long-term, irreversible effects.’
‘No one should lose their job because of COVID shots,’ Gov. DeSantis said while promising to ‘stand up for Floridians' livelihoods, and stand up for freedom.’
