I will not vote for any candidate who is not pro-choice.
You will be disappointed. Rubio and DeSantis will win easily. Enjoy the liberal tears!

Next in line, were the elderly people living independently, whether they lived in their own homes or Independent Living communities. Your mom and my mom had the same priority from the sounds of it her community just figured out a way to make things easier.

Like I said, there were kinks to work out in the early distribution. But they were worked out in a manner of weeks and I really have no complaints.
That is not even true.

DeSantis initially said health care workers would be first as made sense.

Then he flipped to elderly. But, surprise elderly in nursing homes and/or their caregivers(children) did not want to be Guinea pigs so he flipped back to health care workers to show the elderly people wouldnt drop dead from the vaccine. Most of this was done on tv rather than coordinated with his health depts which never knew which end was up from day to day.

In any case, despite having had over a year to develop a systematic method for distributing the vaccine to seniors not in congregated facilities he had none. No appointment system despite the fact it was 2021 and such systems are easy to set up.

Instead, his health depts set up events that involved seniors waiting in lines/lawn chairs in cold temps and dangerous automobile traffic sitches. They weren't even smart enough, nor was he, to involve LEO in managing traffic plans.

You are certainly free to accept that sort of slipshod lack of leadership on behalf of your mother and/or yourself. I dont accept it either for my mother, myself or anyone else.

No I said private industry did it better than DeSantis. He in fact interfered with private industry at one point to make himself look better. Nonetheless, they saved his a$$.

No the elderly in LTC were definitely prioritized and there was high demand for the vaccination because those people had been living with the greatest restrictions - not being able to see family was a BIG one. Families were desperate to see their loved ones again.

Obviously you are a hater. Just come back here when your candidate of choice is defeated by DeSantis this November.

He won last time by about 32,000 votes. That is not a mandate.

Covid has killed how many Floridians? 62,688 as of this writing, most of whom were most likely Evangelical Republicans who refused to take protective measures.

He may seem to be doing very well, to those with confirmation bias.

Maybe when you wake up and view the R to D numbers DeSantis is in the drivers seat. Enjoy the defeat!

You are wrong.

DeSantis first prioritized health care workers, then he flip flopped to prioritize LTC. When the patients wouldnt take the vaccine he flipped back to health care workers to provide examples and then he went back to LTC.

Most of that on TV as I said, so his heath depts never knew which end was up.

Again you people with the 'hate' allegations. As if that's the only motivation you really understand which is certainly believable.

That's lame.
