In Florida a health official was put on leave by Governor DeSantis for suggesting to staff members they get the vaccine. Can you imagine being suspended for just suggesting something that is right? I would think that all health officials would be vaccinated. Their job is to protect the community and if you don’t want to protect the community you shouldn’t be in healthcare. I worked in healthcare on the technical side. I set up laptops that nurses would wheel into patient rooms, computers at nurse’s stations computers in Doctor’s offices, printers and various IT equipment that were used. I know firsthand that healthcare workers are always at risk of catching all kind of diseases and also of spreading all kinds of diseases. The first people that you want to protect are the frontline worker. People in healthcare are the frontline workers. If a soldier won’t carry a gun he should not be on that wall protecting our country. If a healthcare worker does not want to protect their patients they should not be in healthcare.

Healthcare is all about safety. Our Dear Governor DeSantis knows this. His wife has cancer. He is vaccinated and he should be to protect his wife. He won’t say if he will get the booster shot but I bet he already has it. Why? To protect his wife of course, that is what any good husband would do. Do you think he could be elected dog catcher if his wife caught Covid and died because he was unvaccinated? I wouldn’t vote for anyone that would sacrifice their wife to get elected to any political office. Our families have to always come first. As sad as it might be I know that there are people that would sacrifice their family for an ideal but I hope that ideal is something bigger than a shot in the arm but, in some cases I am afraid that it is not. DeSantis has put people in jeopardy for political gain and far as I am concerned he should be held criminally responsible and people should have the right to file a criminal complaint against him for obstruction of something that will save people’s lives. This health official was not forcing people to get vaccinated. He was suggesting that people get vaccinated. In my mind he was suggesting that people in healthcare should be protecting patients.

I am not a big fan of Federal Government Mandates or even State Mandates. I would rather that to be left up to the communities, though at times, they are necessary such are things that are regulated by the Federal Government.  There has to be consequences for our decisions. If you choose not to vaccinate that is fine but you should not expect to be able to continue to live your life as you normally have. Our medical experts have said that we should get vaccinated. They have the expertise in this field not Joe Blow down the street. Almost all of our government officials are vaccinated. Our Governor is vaccinated. The entire Trump Family is vaccinated. Why? Because experts in the field have advised it. With the encouragement and incentives by the Trump administration the pharmaceutical companies developed a vaccine to protect us. Businesses do have the ability to mandate safety protocols for their working environment for the satiety of their employees and their customers. You don’t like their rules then take you business elsewhere. If you don’t like the safety rules by you employers find another job. If you don’t like the guidelines to fly don’t fly. You do have choices but you cannot force your demands unto the rest of us. Your rights are not some overriding thing that should expose me to the dangers that you want to face. If it is your choice, you should face them without harming other people.

Life is always full of choices and I have chosen to be vaccinated. I have chosen that I will try and protect my neighbors. I have chosen I will try and protect you. I still wear a mask because I have chosen I will protect my neighbors. I still wear a mask because I have chosen to protect you. Those are my rights and you have not right to put me in jeopardy.

    Very well written. ALL DeSantis cares about is maintaining and increasing his power at the expense of our Democracy. He does this by taking advantage of the ignorant and the racists. Ever since Trump was President, I have been completely shocked by the power hungry scum in our country that lack any integrity or morals whatsoever.

  Something I have written many times on social media is that when our Justice Department becomes a tool of the oppressor, we are losing our Democracy. Dictators have always used the Justice Department to oppress the people. Germany had its Gestapo and the SS, which were used to kill millions. Stalin had his NKVD, which would later become the KGB, that he used to kill millions and consolidate his power. China has its Chenguang, which is known for its violent methods. That is how things work in a country that is run by a dictator.   They use their personal Justice Departments to suppress and eliminate threats to their power. Is that now what is happening in this country? I swear, Trump wants to be just like the Communist and Fascist dictators. Trump seems to want to use our Justice Department more as his personal goon squad than a department that serves the people. He is starting with ICE. ICE is an agency that was formed after 9/11 and put under the Department of Homeland Se...

  We are a fascist state when we have ICE agents not in uniforms and hiding their faces behind masks. That is right. We have a law enforcement agency that is running around more like the Gestapo of Nazi Germany than what we are supposed to have and what is valued in America. We are sending not only undocumented immigrants but also asylum seekers and foreigners on student visas to detention camps here and on foreign soil. They are just being snatched off the streets with no due process. This is not the America I grew up in. This is nowhere to be found in the religion I learned and practiced in my youth. This is like fascism. Every day, we seem to hear the term “Extreme Left Judges.” It doesn’t matter whether it is a judge appointed by a Republican president or a Democratic president. If that judge disagrees with any of Trump's executive orders, he or she is being branded as a “Radical Judge”. These so-called “Rogue Judges” are being attacked by much of the Republican Party besides...

  American exceptionalism, we have always heard about American exceptionalism. To be honest with you I never understood what that meant. What are we exceptional at? Sports? Are we exceptional because we produce the greatest athletes? Music? Are we exceptional because we produce the greatest musicians? Because we have the greatest Army in the world? Does that make us exceptional? I was told American exceptionalism is now based on Freedom, not truth and justice. Freedom of speech except for groups we don’t like. Freedom of religion except for those religions we don’t like. Freedom of love except only certain kinds. Is it only what we will accept, that is American exceptionalism now? Time magazine published an article stating the United States has been added to the Global Human Rights Watchlist due to the decline of civil liberties. We are on the same watch list that those third-world countries are on that Trump called shithole countries.   I thought I would never see that in m...
