Florida gov imposes $5,000 fine on govt agencies forcing Covid-19 jabs on citizens

Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida, the United States of America, has cautioned government agencies in the state against forcing citizens to accept the coronavirus vaccine jabs against their will. He noted that undermining natural immunity in humans presupposes that the vaccine agenda is not about ensuring people’s health but an instrument of control. The governor, therefore, threatened to impose $5,000 fine on any government agency mandating Covid vaccine jabs as a condition of employment, warning that ignoring natural immunity suggests that vaccine mandates are about control, not public health.

DeSantis had declared in Gainesville on Monday: “We are not going to let people be fired because of a vaccine mandate.”

The governor interacting with public sector workers who were threatened with termination of employment except they accept the coronavirus vaccine mandate, admonished: “If a government agency in the state of Florida forces a vaccine as a condition of employment, that violates Florida law, and you will face a $5,000 fine for every single violation.”

It was gathered that while Florida has worked hard to make Covid-19 vaccines available for all citizens and residents, the government never made it compulsory for anyone, mandatory for none.

Governor DeSantis of the Republican insisted that it is “fundamentally wrong” to throw away first responders and other front-line workers that had been hailed as heroes until recently.

Acknowledging a firefighter that recovered from the virus, Governor DeSantis asserted that vaccine mandates make no provision for natural immunity conferred by the infection.

He argued: “This is not about science.

“I don’t support mandates at all, but if you’re doing mandates based on this, if you’re really following science, you’d acknowledge this natural immunity. And instead, they ignore it.”

DeSantis, while opposing vaccine mandates in Florida, also opposed the Biden vaccine requirements, noting that they don’t take conferred immunity into account.

DeSantis had argued that the compulsory vaccine jab “seems to be less about medical issues than about government power and control.”

According to the Florida governor,  their imposition across the US is “very intrusive, and I think illegal.”

President Joe Biden of the US had last Thursday, declared that he would use the federal regulator OSHA to compel businesses with 100 or more employees to mandate vaccinations, as part of a strategy to “reduce the number of unvaccinated Americans.”

Biden had threatened: “We’ve been patient, but our patience is wearing thin, and your refusal has cost all of us.”

The Republicans have strongly opposed the vaccine mandate. About 24 states are threatening they would take legal action against the coronavirus vaccine mandate in the US.
