Later, DeSantis drew attention to the sheer failure of lockdowns. He pointed out that even in spite of previous shutdowns, COVID cases and now the Delta variant are still here. The GOP governor explained that if lockdowns failed previously, a second go around will only yield the same results.
An open, free state vs. tyranny and mandates
Florida is not the place to go for lockdowns, mandates, and government control. This is something that Governor DeSantis has made clear time and time again.
New York, on the other hand, is a different story. This week, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio stated that unvaccinated individuals will not have access to gyms, fitness centers, bars, and other businesses. The Democrat mayor of NYC outrightly claimed that in order to enjoy the city, individuals must get the COVID vaccine.
New York made this decision as record numbers of people are fleeing the state for places like Texas and Florida. At this time, De Blasio’s Instagram page is full of irate people slamming New York’s COVID vaccine mandate.
