Florida Governor and potential 2024 presidential candidate Ron DeSantis came out swinging against a recent Supreme Court decision on vaccine mandates for health workers. DeSantis thinks justices Roberts and Kavanaugh erred in their decisions.

But SCOTUS did not deliver a full win. Roberts & Kavanaugh sided with leftist justices to uphold “jab or job” mandate against health care workers.

FL will cont. to stand with our health care workers & reject Faucian mandates, which are rooted in political, not medical science.

FNC: “Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Supreme Court justices John Roberts and Brett Kavanaugh lacked ‘backbone’ for not striking down the Biden administration’s health care worker vaccine mandate.

In two decisions Thursday, the nation’s top court struck down the Biden administration’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for large businesses, but upheld its mandate for most healthcare workers. Roberts and Kavanaugh sided with the court’s liberal justices, upholding the the health care-worker vaccine mandate, five to four.”

“On the nurse mandate and the doctor mandate, Roberts and Kavanaugh joined with the liberals to allow the nurse mandate,” DeSantis said. “Honestly, Roberts and Kavanaugh did not have a backbone on that decision. That’s just the bottom line,” he said on an episode of the right-leaning podcast Ruthless. “So here’s what’s going on, think about how insane this is. Now, in Florida, we protected the nurses, so we have people that are working.

“In other states they fired nurses who are not vaccinated. Many of them have natural immunity from prior infections. So they’re actually bringing back to work nurses who are COVID-positive. They are vaccinated but we know that’s not stopping it … Meanwhile the unvaccinated, likely immune from prior infection, healthy nurses are on the sidelines, fired?” DeSantis said.

“I called a special session of the legislature in November and we provided protections so that, in Florida, you’re not going to lose your job over these shots,” DeSantis said in the podcast. “You have the right to work.” If the Left folded on that issue in regards to mandates it would be admitting the recent mandates are a scam and of course the Left can’t stipulate to that. What’s sad here is that an otherwise sensible man like Brett Kavanaugh buys into these absurdities.

On a related issue the Florida governor commented on the role of Anthony Fauci in the virus. “Fauci funded them at the Wuhan lab and he lied about it. And why is he not being prosecuted for lying to Congress?” DeSantis asked.
