What cracks me up is him saying people AND BUSINESS OWNERS.
hahaha. So businesses should have more power than the feds?!
It's not a bad strategy, except for the unvaxxer distribution and the resulting deaths may be significant enough to start affecting toss up races. There's probably a multiplier too: a dead antivaxxer is one less vote, but the shocked family members may also rethink their value system. So while coming elections will overlap with the COVID season, at one point this pandemic will tame into a flu-like illness once everyone is exposed one way (thru vaccination) or another (natural infection). This is inevitable, but dying in the process isn't, which is about 8x more likely for antivaxxers.
You mean the credentials that should not render him eligible to give out mask exemption paperwork. It's a statewide policy problem.
Agree. They are digging themselves into a hole that will be quite difficult to get out of unscathed. Plus as I detailed at the TFG thread, as much as I'm up to date with the data, even conservative measurements on the effect of universal masking seems to have a greater impact on reducing COVID deaths than "early treatments" DeSantis is bullshitting about. He's trying to cover ivermectin which is popular among conspiracy nuts, without having to say ivermectin.
Being a chiropractic "doctor" is the clear sign.
I've seen this on reddit. Someone (engineer) dives into data they don't understand quoting some pseudonymous internet blog that rails on the inaccuracies of public health officials' statements, so they review the "truth" by analyzing papers they spend 20 pages analyzing just to make a mistake that invalidates the whole argument. The cognitive biases are incredible but also stereotypical:

As a chiropractor he no doubt has a great deal of experience manipulating people, so he's in familiar territory.
