The coronavirus pandemic has apparently become so deadly that the nation can afford to fire doctors and nurses.
One doctor in Florida was suspended from his job due to Joe Biden’s vaccine mandate, Governor Ron DeSantis explained.
Biden is forcing health care workers to receive the drug injected into their arms or else they could lose employment. The mandate fails to provide exemptions for legitimate health concerns or religious reasons.
“Jeff, a Florida doctor I met in Brandon at the Special Session bill signing, was suspended from his job due to Biden’s mandate,” DeSantis announced.
“He has now been reinstated due to our efforts to stop this heavy-handed federal mandate,” DeSantis continued.
“Freedom has a home here in Florida,” the governor said.
Despite Biden’s all-out smear campaign against Florida, the rate of COVID-19 infections in the state has plunged significantly.
The rapid decrease in COVID-19 infections is one of the fasted descent in rates of cases in the nation.
In August, Biden told Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to “get out of the way.”
“Florida and Texas account for 1/3 of all new covid-19 cases,” Biden said. “I say to these governors ‘please help.’ But if you aren’t going to help, at least get out of the way of the people trying to do the right thing.”
Biden completely ignored the low death rate in Florida at the time.
Here are the details on Florida’s progress via Daily Wire:
Florida’s case rate per 100,000 people over the last week was 13, third only behind Connecticut and Hawaii, which both have a rate of 11 cases per 100,000.
Florida’s 14-day change rate plunged 48%, while Alabama’s fell 61% and Hawaii’s fell 51%. Notably, states farther north were found at the other end of the spectrum, including Colorado, where the rate rose 32%, Vermont, 27%, Michigan, 26%, and Minnesota, 22%.
On October 1, Click Orlando noted, “As the number of new COVID-19 cases continues to drop in Florida, the state on Friday reported an average of 5,396 new cases per day over the last week. This is the fifth straight week the number of weekly COVID-19 cases has declined.

In mid-November, DeSantis ventured to Brandon, Florida, to sign bills against POTUS’ federal requirement. Notably, the location of the signing was a clear troll of the president, in reference to the popularized anti-Biden/media “Let’s Go Brandon” chant.
“We’re really excited to be here, especially because when I sign this legislation today, we hear so much about all these things: mandates, restrictions, tearing people down,” the governor announced at the time, The Daily Wire reported. “Today, we lift people up. We provide protections for people: no nurse, no firefighter, no police officer, no trucker, no anybody should lose their job because of these COVID jabs.”
“This is the strongest piece of legislation that’s been enacted anywhere in the country in this regard. … We are respecting people’s individual freedom in this state,” he declared.
DeSantis emphasized to the press that “what Biden is doing is not constitutional.”
“There has never been a federal vaccine mandate imposed on the general public,” he said, adding, “And so the question is: do we even have a Constitution that constrains people like Biden, or is it just when he loses patience he can do whatever the hell he wants to? No. I’ll take the Constitution, thank you very much.”
Gov. DeSantis has routinely led the way in treatment against the COVID virus — including vital antibody treatment — and vaccination availability while maintaining freedom of choice for Floridians.
