DeSantis flirts with the anti-vaccine crowd
MIAMI Ron DeSantis isn't anti-vaccine. But he has started standing shoulder-to-shoulder with those who are.
The Florida governors clear and unadulterated public messaging about the need for vaccines has become more diluted in recent months, culminating with a press conference he held this week to bash President Joe Bidens new vaccine mandate plan and threaten to fine cities and counties that impose their own mandates.
The event in the small Florida town of Newberry featured two anti-vaccine workers, one of whom falsely claimed he wouldnt get a shot because it changes your RNA. DeSantis at the time said nothing about the misinformation, a standard anti-vaccine talking point, and subsequently refused to say why he didnt correct the falsehood.
I don't even remember him saying that, so it's not anything I've said, DeSantis said Tuesday at a press conference when asked about the remarks made the day before. DeSantis then went on to discuss the benefits of vaccinations.
