DeSantis Signs Bill Preventing Federal Vaccine Mandates – And Trolls Biden From Brandon, Florida
Infowars.com
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signed legislation Thursday preventing federal vaccine mandates from taking effect in his state.
Announcing the anti-mandate bills from Brandon, Florida, DeSantis pledged support for workers, many of whom were in danger of losing their jobs due to vaccine work requirements.
“I told Floridians that we would protect their jobs and today we made that the law,” the governor and potential presidential candidate told an enthusiastic crowd.
“Nobody should lose their job due to heavy-handed COVID mandates and we had a responsibility to protect the livelihoods of the people of Florida. I’m thankful to the Florida Legislature for joining me in standing up for freedom.”
More on the anti-vaccine mandate bills signed Thursday from the Miami Herald:
The bills do the following:
▪ Restrict businesses’ ability to mandate vaccines for their employees. Companies have to offer workers a number of exemptions or risk fines of at least $10,000 per violation from the state. This measure would expire June 1, 2023.
▪ Ban school districts from passing mask mandates, and prohibit governments from enacting vaccine requirements for public-sector employees.
▪ Create a public records exemption to conceal from public view investigations by the attorney general’s office into violations of the law restricting vaccine mandates. The investigations would become public once they are closed — except for an individual’s religious or medical information.
▪ Direct DeSantis to form a plan for the state to eventually create a new agency to replace the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration in monitoring workplace safety.
▪ Strike from state law the surgeon general’s ability to mandate vaccination for an individual during a public health crisis.
The bills come as Biden’s federal employer vaccine mandate was poised to take effect before the 5th U.S Circuit Court of Appeals slammed the brakes Wednesday, ordering OSHA to back off and saying the mandate was “fatally flawed” and “staggeringly overbroad.”
