Is worth a pound of cure
Ron DeSantis pushing Regeneron
Recently Ron DeSantis continued to hype regeneron as the solution to the coronavirus pandemic. Throughout this pandemic, Ron DeSantis and the majority of the Republican governors have not functioned within CDC or national health organization bounds. This failure has made it impossible for any federal government guidelines to be effective.
Ron DeSantis and his type support potential treatments. At the same time encouraging less testing. How do we know to use treatments, if we don’t know we have the virus. These treatments are only effective if used early in the infection.
Of particular note is the $10 million from the Citadel CEO Ken Griffin has donated to a political committee that support DeSantis. He also owns $15.9 million in share of Regeneron Pharmaceutical, Inc.
Ron DeSantis please tell us what you have done to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus?
Yes, you did prioritize vaccinating senior citizens. In the meantime death rates for first responders have risen. Masks usage is sporadic. Governor you fight against mandating both mask and vaccine mandates. I ask you governor, when it became so important to champion the rights of the misinformed over those who seek to do right by their fellow citizens.
Federal Response
In today’s environment, it is nearly impossible to contain the virus. Our only hope is that future mutations don’t turn more deadly. If they do, then anti-maskers are setting us up for a future disaster.
For me personnally.
I chose to wear a mask. While I would prefer to not be militant about my choice, I do believe that anyone without a mask should respect my choice and stay away! That is the only way I’ll respect your choice to not wear a mask.
This is today’s Republican Party…
Champion causes which their base will be passionate about. Donald Trump says that if a lie is repeated often enough it becomes the truth. He lost the election, but by repeating the lie, his followers prove themselves to be lemmings. Blindly following the falsehoods of their chosen leader, as our democracy goes over the cliff edge.
This is exactly what Vladimir Putin wants. This is how Putin leads us to our own demise. Remember a vote for Trump leads to the disruption which meets the goals of Russia.
On another note…
Protesters arrested while attempting to attend a news conference as described in Community activist arrested ahead of DeSantis news conference. Only accredited journalist were permitted to attend. When asked DeSantis denied knowledge.
Our ancestors worked hard for our freedoms. Laws which suppress protest diminish our freedoms. This is true for both extremes. Our leaders must face both and not pander to only those who agree.
To me that is the pot calling the kettle black, specifically in Florida. A plethora of new laws have passed aimed directly at muzzling descent. Groups like Black Lifes Matters and other liberal organizations threaten our white conservative autocracy.
These laws to restrict our freedom to demonstrate, may not be communism in work, but are the foundations of dictators.
Republicans often referred to Democrats as Communists.
Voting Suppression Laws.
Republican controlled states recently passed new laws which provide the republican in power to replace current election commissions, if they are deemed unworthy by the party in power. I’m sorry, but this control of elections by one party over the other is wrong. When one party attempts to control the vote, we no longer have free and fair elections.
The need for polling stations in a city such as Atlanta is different then in small town Georgia. Every individual regardless of race, creed, or religion should have equal access to the ballot box. Denying this access is a failure of our democracy.
That is why I will continue to say it is important to vote for Democrats in 2022.
Until Donald Trump and his ilk no longer control the Republican Party.
Anniversary of January 6th.
High Ranking Republicans.
Lindsey Graham made a point of talking how the Democrats were trying to make January 6th a political issue. My answer is why not. The Democrats tried to create a bipartisan commission to investigate events of one of the darkest days in the history of our democracy. The senate republicans including Lindsey Graham did not want this investigation.
Why? Because any valid investigation would show that Republicans in the executive branch were complicit with inciting a riot. Does this reflect poorly on the Republican party? Of course it does.
But it reflects more on the party, that they continue to support Donald Trump. Our democracy requires an accounting of these events. Those at the highest level convicted and jailed. This includes Donald Trump.
