DeSantis portrayed the idea of requiring masks for schoolchildren — those under age 12 can’t be vaccinated — as some sort of Biden-big government effort to interfere with the rights of parents. Several Florida school boards want to require masks.
FORT LAUDEREDALE, Fla. — Gov. Ron DeSantis, facing the Florida surge in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations, delivered extraordinary and impassioned remarks on the issue Wednesday — attacking President Joe Biden.
DeSantis portrayed himself as the leader who is standing up for individual freedom against what he depicted as a malevolent, big-government Biden. He made a litany of accusations against the president, many of them amped-up versions of what Biden or his administration has said and done that have an element of truth but DeSantis depicted as ineptitude, incompetence or malice.
DeSantis portrayed the idea of requiring masks for schoolchildren — those under age 12 can’t be vaccinated — as some sort of Biden-big government effort to interfere with the rights of parents. DeSantis also claimed Biden “rejects science” because “he denies the fact that people that recover from COVID have long-lasting immunity.” Recent studies, however, have shown that post-infection immunity is not as long-lasting and strong as vaccinations.
Biden said Tuesday he supported New York City’s move to require proof of vaccination for activities including eating indoors at restaurants, going to gyms and attending Broadway shows.
