Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) unveiled his plan to outlaw Joe Biden’s vaccine mandate in the Sunshine State for good in efforts to protect vaccine hesitant Floridians from losing their jobs.
During a press conference on Monday, DeSantis made a series of proposals for an upcoming special session of the state legislature to counter Biden’s vaccine mandate.
“Even though the Biden administration, it always said this would never be mandated, and even they acknowledged the federal government doesn’t have the power to mandate it. Fauci said it would never be mandated and now all of a sudden they say there’s grave danger so it takes them two months to write a 500-page rule that they’re trying to shove down the throats of the American people,” said DeSantis.
At the special session, Florida lawmakers are set to discuss a proposal to protect all public employees from having to get the vaccine. The proposal also lays out what rights employees in the private sector would have.
