Gov. DeSantis is a political target. Who doesn't know this?

Unfortunately, DeSantis and his supporters believe that science-based reporting is "divisional." In this view, persons who explain DeSantis' disastrous public health policies also are "partisan."

California's more stringent public health measures to suppress COVID transmission versus the lack of similar efforts in Florida will become even more pronounced in coming months as mandatory student vaccines are enforced state-wide.

<<All California students and school staff will be required to get vaccinated against Covid-19 as soon as January 2022, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Friday.

The mandate, the nation’s first, applies to all students in kindergarten through 12th grade in public, charter and private schools, and all school employees. It goes into effect in the first semester, either Jan. 1 or July 1, following the Federal Drug Administration’s full approval of the Covid vaccine for each age group. Only the Pfizer vaccine is fully approved for people 16 and older. The Pfizer vaccine also has emergency authorization for use in children between the ages of 12-16.>>

Several large California school districts already have imposed student vaccine mandates.

<<The requirement follows vaccine mandates in several large California school districts for students 12 and over, including Los Angeles Unified, San Diego Unified and Oakland Unified. Newsom encouraged other districts to enact their own mandates ahead of the state’s plan, Newsom said.>>

And as you noted, a subsequent variant, or just the passage of time for those who remain unvaccinated and who face diminishing natural immunity, may result in another COVID surge in Florida. The likelihood of a surge in Florida is enhanced by the state's relatively deficient public health policies.

<<Dr. Anthony Fauci Tuesday warned that COVID-19 could mutate into an even more virulent “monster variant” if the pandemic is not stamped out with mass vaccination.

The pandemic expert agreed with MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski when she suggested that a new “monster” strain could make the delta variant look like child’s play.

“There’s always a risk of, as you get more circulation of the virus in the community, that you’ll get enough accumulation of new mutations to get a variant substantially different than the ones we’re seeing now,” Fauci said on the Morning Joe show.>>
