Health Professionals No Longer Willing to Put Up With DeSantis' Nonsense

Fauci hits back at Ron DeSantis claim that vaccinations don’t ‘impact me or anyone else’
Anthony Fauci points to the critical role vaccines play against disease outbreaks

Florida governor Ron DeSantis’s claim that getting a Covid vaccine “doesn’t impact me or anyone else” was “completely incorrect,” Anthony Fauci said on Tuesday, highlighting the critical role vaccines play against disease outbreaks.

“If he feels that vaccines are not important for people, that they are just important for some people, that’s completely incorrect,” Dr Fauci, the director of the US’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said in an interview to CNN.

Vaccinations have been the solution to every major public health issue, including smallpox, polio, measles, the country’s top infectious diseases expert said.


“I’m not sure what people are talking about when they push back on vaccinations. It [vaccines] is historically, over decades and decades and decades, shown to be the way you control an infectious disease.”

During a news conference earlier on Friday, the Republican governor said, while vaccines have helped people avoid severe illness, they were “about your health and whether you want that protection or not. It really doesn’t impact me or anyone else.”

Dr Fauci, responding to Mr DeSantis’s remarks, said they were “not true at all”, pointing out that those who remain unvaccinated were “part of the problem”.

“I mean, obviously it’s important for you as an individual for your own personal protection, safety and health,” he said.

“But when you have a virus that’s circulating in the community and you are not vaccinated, you are part of the problem because you are allowing yourself to be a vehicle for the virus to be spreading to someone else.”

Dr Fauci then pointed out that those who were unvaccinated could be asymptomatic and could pass on the coronavirus infection to others who were much more vulnerable healthwise, compared to them. He also said getting vaccinated was not just a responsibility towards individual health, but a collective responsibility.

“It isn’t as if it stops with you. If that were the case, then it would be only about you. But it doesn’t,” he said.

“You can get infected even if you get no symptoms or minimally symptomatic and then pass it on to someone who in fact might be very vulnerable – an elderly person, a person with an underlying disease. So when you’re dealing with an outbreak of an infectious disease, it isn’t only about you. There is a societal responsibility that we all have.”

Earlier, an editorial published byThe Miami Herald offered a stinging rebuke of the governor’s remarks.

The piece, titled “Your ‘personal choice’ not to get COVID vaccine is putting our ‘healthcare heroes’ at risk”, by the paper’s editorial board slammed the governor’s statement, calling it a “profile in selfishness” for ignoring the role the vaccine plays in reducing the community spread of the virus.

Remember when Fauci said that vaccinations didn't impact me or anyone else like DeSantis said?

No? You don't? That's OK. Listen to the man in his own words:

 

I just remember you claiming that Florida patients are not being transferred out of state. You claimed this did not happen recently -- while you failed to define your definition of "recent"

Yet every week we see more stories about Florida patients being transferred out of state.. Here is an example within the past week...

Hospitalizations look great (in decline) when you ship patients elsewhere.

"DeSantis for the win" -- Reality: Loses once again in court.

Florida judge allows mask mandates to continue in schools after ruling against DeSantis
https://www.cnn.com/webview/us/live...s-09-08-21/h_51ab48dff48e67b143f9a5ae28c2974a

Second Circuit Judge John Cooper has ruled against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ appeal, allowing Florida schools to continue to have mask mandates while the case is appealed at a higher level.

Effective immediately, the state of Florida must stop their enforcement of a mask ban, which ends sanctions against several school districts who have implemented mask mandates.

DeSantis had appealed Cooper’s earlier ruling that that stated the governor overreached and did not have the authority to ban school districts from implementing mask mandates without a parent opt-out.

That appeal led to an immediate pause on mask mandates while a ruling was made. Thirteen Florida school districts have now implemented a mask mandate, without a parent opt out, defying an earlier executive order by the governor.

Cooper ruled he believed there was not enough irreparable harm to set aside the automatic stay triggered by the appeal.

“It’s undisputed that in Florida we are in the midst of a COVID pandemic. Based on the evidence I’ve heard, there’s no harm to the state if the stay is set aside,” Cooper said.

Cooper added that based on expert witnesses it is clear the only way to protect children who are unable to be vaccinated is to keep children isolated home, which would cause additional harm.

“It's undisputed that the Delta variant is far more infectious than the prior to their prior version of the virus, and that children are more susceptible to the Delta variant than to the form from a year ago,” Cooper said. “In particular for children under 12, they cannot be vaccinated. Therefore, there's really only one or two means to protect them against the virus as either stay at home, or mask.”

Cooper added that based on the evidence young students “arguably have no way to avoid this, except to stay home and isolate themselves.”

“I think everybody agrees, that's not good for them,” Cooper said.

“I think everybody agrees, that's not good for them,” Cooper said.


"No surprise here that Judge Cooper concluded that he is unlikely to be overruled on appeal. We (unsurprisingly) disagree. Today we plan to file our emergency motion to reinstate the stay, and we anticipate the appellate court will rule quickly, much like during the school re-opening case last year."
