Controversial Excessive-Degree Trump Official Banned From Federal Employment for Four Years After Hatch Violation: Report

Last week, a disgruntled Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) snapped at a CBS reporter and asked for evidence showing some kind of “pay-to-play” scandal favoring the rich to get COVID-19 vaccinations first .

Community health officials have said the introduction of the vaccine in Florida will benefit the rich over the rest of Florida residents, the report said.

“Florida’s introduction started off pretty typically,” the report said. “The first doses were given to healthcare workers and residents of nursing homes in early December. But then, a few weeks later, Governor Ron DeSantis, who violated CDC guidelines, announced that he wouldn’t be vaccinating teachers and key workers next, but instead “seniors first,” so everyone over 65 for that Vaccine would be the country in question to do that. DeSantis said seniors are at the highest risk. “

It caused a run on the vaccine, websites crashed, and it was extremely difficult.

“Jumping started almost immediately,” the report said.

West Palm Beach Mayor Keith James tried to get vaccines for the city’s firefighters but later learned that some wealthy board members of a nursing home could be vaccinated.

“Then the private jets arrived,” the report said. “Hollywood moguls, New York celebrities and overseas tourists were vaccinated in Florida, posted on social media and sparked outrage. Early on, there were no residence requirements to get vaccinated in the state. “

Mayor James said that there just aren’t any rules and that everyone is taking advantage of them.
