More than 100 Florida ZIP codes report more than 100% of their residents are vaccinated. DeSantis and health officials don't plan to investigate this.Florida has overstated how many residents are vaccinated against COVID-19 by more than half a million people, a Palm Beach Post analysis shows.
Health officials and Gov. Ron DeSantis, who were alerted last year about impossibly high inoculation rates across the state, say they have no plan to fix or investigate this statistical flaw, driven by out-of-staters.
At the same time, Florida does not reveal to the public the number of nonresidents infected in the state.
That means Floridians don't know the true picture of how safe they are from the deadly disease.

That is the point. There is no problem if you keep denying there is a problem.

Now they overcount vaccination rates. Can they do anything right? Bunch of yahoos pretending to do their jobs.
