DeathSantis Attacks Special Olympics

Post by MotorCityRadioFreak » Fri Jun 03, 2022 11:47 pm

Despite the fact that Special Olympians are at high risk to COVID as part of their disability, DeathSantis ordered the organization to drop its vaccine mandate. If they had not, they would face a $234 million fine. Beyond disturbing. So much for free enterprise.

Are you coming down with D*rabies? You seem symptomatic as you want to attack everyone and everything, LOL. (Need proof? See your subject line!)

There is nothing to stop individuals from being vaccinated, they just cannot require vaccine cards for participation. That seems fair. (Besides the waning effectiveness of vaccinees makes it now moot).

Desantis is vaccinated and is volunteer chair of the Special Olympics. He's not flip-flopper, like you, so a law is a law, he not going to bend just because he is a chair. Oh and the fine would been 27.5 million, not 234 million..

Have any other businesses or organizations been fined in this fashion, and if so, did they seek judicial relief? I'd be curious to know if any court rulings exist in Florida on such matters.

If they did exist it might be in the cruise boat industry. No one else was going to worry about it.

If S. O. event was outdoors the risk of Covid was minimal.

Besides, my vaccinated/boosted friends are getting Covid and the rest of us aren't.

I must have missed where Ron DeSantis threw sick, elderly people like Whitmer did...

My brother and I have agreed to vote for Trump if it's between him and DeSantis.

Figures. I'd vote for DeSantis over Trump in a heartbeat.


New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

It’s a true lesser of two evils. DeSantis is the more dangerous fascist.
