GET ME REWRITE: Meet The Three Stooges of Florida Covid reporting

 

Headline from New York Times, 8/28/2021

Excerpt 1:
While leaders in that state also refused lockdowns and mask orders, they made it a priority to vaccinate vulnerable older people. Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, opened mass vaccination sites and sent teams to retirement communities and nursing homes. Younger people also lined up for shots.

The rollout. 


Excerpt 2:
The best explanation of what has happened is that Florida’s vaccination rates were good, but not good enough for its demographics. It has so many older people that even vaccinating a vast majority of them left more than 800,000 unprotected. Vaccination rates among younger people were uneven, so clusters of people remained at risk. Previous virus waves, which were milder than in some other states, conferred only some natural immunity.

 


Yup, whatever the fuck he wants.

Like selling this anti-Fauci merch on his website.   What kind of message does that send?
