One week ago, right when the conflict in Ukraine began to boil over, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis passed a bill on a procedure that extends Covid liability protections for healthcare providers, such as hospitals and nursing homes.
Immunity that was first granted last year now has been extended into June 2023.
Florida lawmakers like Democratic Representative Joe Geller from the city of Aventura take issue with the bill, and think it is too broad, according to WFSU.
If this was healthcare we’d be using a scalpel and I think we’re using an axe here instead.
Just to have a blanket statement on any kind of bad medical care that may be given and just say, ‘Well, it’s the pandemic. You can kind of get away with anything you want to.’ Well, that’s not a good approach.
But others like Republican Representative Ralph Massullo of Lecanto believes that the Covid pandemic is not over, noting that the virus continues to change as do the treatments, justifying the continued liability protection.
We need to protect those healthcare entities that include the patients, that include the providers, that include the practices that you and I might go to for our healthcare that need to be staffed by individuals that believe and know that the state of Florida has their backs, is willing to protect them, so they can go out every day without fear of liability.
Representative Anna Eskamani of Orlando also has critiqued the move:
I just wanted to amplify some of the concerns brought to me by constituents who are some of the frontline staff, just expressing concern when it comes to extending the COVID liability protections for some of these medical institutions because for them they feel like it can be a disincentive for these companies to provide the best safety standards.
Eskamani also felt that the wording in the bill opened the possibility to present lawsuits for problems not directly attributable to Covid, such as medical care concerns due to staffing shortages.
Representative Felicia Robinson of the Miami Gardens shared a similar sentiment.
There are some people that are going to the hospital that have things that are medical concerns that are not Covid related, are in the hospital and there are some things that are happening and unfortunately they are unable to get justice or to plead a case because medical people are saying that they’re short-handed because of Covid.
Therefore, in short, because Governor DeSantis moved to extend immunity to healthcare providers and services for being liable for damages, recipients of a Covid-19 vaccine and have had a reaction to it, will not be able to get any resolution.
Governor DeSantis, more recently, was reportedly go after and criticizing a group of high school students for still wearing masks, telling them to stop the “Covid theater.” He then told the students to remove their masks, as the students were waiting to listen to him at press event at South Florida University.
You do not have to wear those masks. I mean, please take them off. Honestly, it’s not doing anything. We’ve got to stop with this COVID theater. So if you wanna wear it, fine, but this is ridiculous.
Sighing and shaking his head
Reported by Recently Heard, one student said, “I was a little bit surprised at his tone.” The father of the child told reporters, “I tell him it’s his choice, so he made that choice and the governor has no right to tell no kid or no one who they can or can’t wear a mask. He doesn’t have that right.”
Christina Pushaw, DeSantis’ spokeswoman, defended his response by tweeting,
I mean, someone had to say it, after 2 years of propaganda that terrified and manipulated young people. Breathe free, feel safe and be happy.

[2] When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn. [10] The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul. [12] If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked. Proverbs 29:2, 10, 12
If have said for sometime now, DeSantis is just another puppet politician, that must bow to the will of the bankers and corporations, and the handlers at the top. He, like all over 49 governors in America, were and are complicit in locking down their states, crippling their economies, and then pushing the vaccination agenda.
So, while DeSantis wants to berate students over masking, he is totally unconcerned by the fact that the oldest and youngest, and any in-betweens, of society in his state, are dying because of this death shot.

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

That creep’s a Catholic’s Catholic. Perfect match for Jeb Bush. The other waving arm crony & liar.
I used to cut slack & believe that some were deceived as they whacked away ferociously at branches, limbs, & leaves …..proclaiming ‘victories’ when they shredded a few leaves; while studiously avoiding coming anywhere near the root. I was wrong. They were liars & deceivers all along, & their leashes all lead back to one coverted corporate entity, that Mother of them all.
Ones republican or republic-CANT The other is Democrat or demo-RAT both wings same bird, they’re both foul and to blame as well.
Makes me chuckle how you put up unflattering photos of these evil people along with your articles.
I know how to find them LOL.
I’m glad the photos are made unflattering but even without Jacob’s altering, they’re unflattering in of themselves.
Here’s a good one about mocking wicked men and women.
1 Kings 18:26-28
26 And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped upon the altar which was made. 27 And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked. 28 And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them.
