If you were governor, you probably would recognize the threat and think it your duty to work day and night to ensure that every single resident who is eligible gets the vaccinations that can save their lives.
You would think it. But not Ron DeSantis…
Many of the ill are young people who have not taken the vaccine and children under 12, who are not yet eligible for it. So the masking guidance makes sense, and several of the most populous school districts in Florida have announced plans to follow it.
Those counties also are Democratic strongholds, and DeSantis promptly doubled down on his threat to punish school districts that mandate masks for students this fall, going so far as to suggest he would withhold state funding to those that enforce one.
