As Florida's DeSantis descends into anti-vaxx Crazyville, Miami-Dade Schools follows the data

Nothing can hide Florida’s descent into Crazyville. Not the “Don’t Tread on Florida” alligator signs held by Gov. Ron DeSantis’ supporters at his latest COVID-19 policy proposal announcement. Not the state’s new Ivy League-educated surgeon general, Dr. Joseph Ladapo, who, as reported by FloridaPolitics.com, refused — refused! — to wear a mask when he met with state Sen. Tina Polsky ini her office in Tallahassee. The state senator, who represents parts of Broward and Palm Beach counties, has cancer.

Crazy.

We thought things couldn’t get much worse in DeSantis’ handling of the pandemic, but we were wrong — then we were wrong again. Just when you think he’s done enough to undermine our chances of exiting a pandemic that has killed nearly 60,000 Floridians, he has a new trick up his sleeve.

DeSantis’ latest move, announced Thursday, is to call a special legislative session to undermine federal requirements announced by President Biden that some workers be vaccinated against the coronavirus. Among the laws he wants lawmakers to pass is making businesses liable for medical harm that results from mandatory vaccinations, even though millions of vaccines have safely been administered in the United States.

Taking the "How stupid can you get?" challenge.

It always seems like they take the phrases, 'They can't be that stupid!' or 'They can't go any lower' as a challenge.

Businesses that didn’t practice Covid safety. If their employees got sick with it they couldn’t sue the company that made them work anyway. But sure go ahead protect them from liability because of the vaccine. Geez
