Just a week ago the DeSantis PAC started selling "Don't Fauci my Florida" merchandise (source)

Now, two days ago, this: Florida Leads the U.S. as Delta Virus Surges

DeSantis, perhaps the strongest opponent of masking and shut-downs, suddenly begins urging Floridians to get vaccinated. (source) [Hmm, DeSantis suddenly urges vaccines right on the heels of the newfound interest in vaccines over on Fox News. Republicans hated vaccines before they loved them.]

So which is it DeSantis? Are you going to flip-flop and stop selling the anti-Fauci stuff, or are you going to keep selling it and be a total hypocrite?

It is hardly a flip-flop! In fact, imo, he has not actually flip-flopped at all:

Quote from the link, my bold: "Despite his resistance to policies that might have hurt businesses in the state, Mr DeSantis has been generally supportive of the vaccine, though he opposes measures like vaccine passports or businesses requiring patrons to be vaccinated before using their services."

Agree, this isn’t a flip flop.

Nope. You can't sell anti-Fauci merchandise and claim to be pro-vaccinations at the same time. It's a mixed message at best.

He's a complete idiot and it's hilarious to watch science and the virus bite him in the ass. I only feel bad for folks and kids who cannot get vaccinated.

Btw, all the morons who cheer for DeSantis and his anti vaccine talk, well, he got the vaccine, just like Rubio and Trump. Why are you guys willing to die on an island that none of your heros are on with you?

No, it's not -- or at least, not in my opinion! I know at least three people who cannot stand Fauci and think that he is a huge liar, but they still got the vaccines.

Well, they MIGHT have gotten the vaccine. I still think it is possible that they just SAID they did -- and, of course, I could very well be wrong about that!

And, FYI, NONE of the people you mentioned are my heroes! Just another untrue assumption.

You think they are lying about getting the vaccine? Ah boy.

Listen, you feel free to not get vaccinated but it's coming for you either way.

A unvaccinated friend of mine was arguing with me last week, she said she ignores my texts about Delta because she doesnt want to talk about it with me and that I should relax and live my life without worrying, like she is. Guess who got sick in Florida over the weekend and tested positive???
