Maybe not to YOU. but beneficial to the one who might otherwise be blamed for it when things go poorly under his guidance.
David for better leaders, smarter led
A leader’s most basic duty is keeping their people safe. These numbers are an objective indicator of Gov. Ron DeathSantis’ failure as a leader.
Hiding the truth is a 100% political move by this Governor. We all know that. We also know based on scientific and medical facts that if you are not vaccinated the virus is coming for you unless you totally isolate yourself which you aren’t. And we know you will spread it to others, predominantly the other unvaccinated. So As things get worse as they seem to be headed in that direction…school quarantines, business closures, limited public events, etc., YOU the unvaccinated will be directly, 100% the responsible. You definitely do have a choice. Protect yourself and those you love and others by getting vaccinated or suffer severe life threatening illness and possibly death. You can be part of the solution to this pandemic or the problem. The latter may cost you and others you infect your life. That folks is the truth based on medical facts…period. Please don’t make the stupid decision to remain unvaccinated. There is no good reason for not getting vaccinated and every reason to vaccinate. Medical and scientific facts will rule regardless of your decision. Not politics, not wild conspiracy theories, not baseless fears.
The fact that the state is suppressing data should be a huge alarm to everyone!
