Did you know that Governor Ron DeSantis recently stated at a press conference that he would sue Joe Biden and his administration regarding a mandate on businesses to vaccinate, or test workers for COVID-19?
At the same press conference, DeSantis also suggested Florida legislators may need to pass a law to prevent businesses from imposing their own mandates.
DeSantis’ comments came during his press conference held in Fort Myers last Thursday where he exclaimed his hard work to make accessible monoclonal antibody treatments to help inhibit severe COVID-19 infections.
“I think that the mandate is going to lose in court,” DeSantis declared, during his press conference regarding the federal mandate.
Last month, Joe Biden publicly announced that he would require businesses with more than 100 workers to mandate employees to get the COVID-19 vaccine or show weekly negative test results. As well, Biden stated during last month’s announcement, that all health care facilities that receive funds through the Federal Medicare or Medicare systems would as well be required to have their employees vaccinated.
In a check against Biden’s further COVID inoculation mandates, Governor DeSantis shared that he would back any state legislation that allows employees to sue businesses if they are fired or face intimidation and retaliation for not getting the COVID-19 vaccine.
