Bets on him and his people already being vaccinated and a buy in lottery for vaccines for citizens is about to be introduced?

Either Repubs are still going in on herd immunity or Dear Leader will only supply vaccines to states that voted for him. He is a p.o.s.

stronomer
They are even too stupid to get the vaccine from the good people that produce it to the good people that administer it.
lifeisadadjoke
And suddenly, the shit will slide downhill, and the supply chain teams will have to rush shipments of -70C product everywhere.
lifeisadadjoke
For assistance, it's a very cold temp for mass supply chain. Trying chilling an empty reefer to -40C in the summer...not gonna happen.

Why the fuck do I trust a pharmaceutical company more than the people that got elected to office?

WHY IN THE FUCK would you trust EITHER ONE OF THEM??? The politicians want power; the companies want profit; why choose? Both suck.

The fucked up part is the pharmaceutical company has more to lose if it doesn't go well.

Lying is in republicans DNA. They prob want to reroute the vaccine to republican states.

I'll tell you. Florida has a large aged population of rich retirees that own real-estate. When they all die at at once...
tiarali
The majority of the state's republican voters die with them.
TopherE
The rich will get the last laugh. I think depopulation is the sole goal now. It leads to financial gains in certain sectors.
TopherE
The richer Republicans will gobble up all that property because the market will be flooded. Inheritances will be taxed then too.
SuperPickle17
Good. Then we all can laugh when the the state is flooded from climate change making the land worthless

According to the article, the problem is from the feds side. FL requested, but it's not being allocated. Other states have the same problem
goddamimgur
Leopards ate his face. He's a Trump Boy, now Baby Trump doesn't wanna release the vaccines so he can sell em to donors instead.

I am not a DeathSantis apologist. I just seem to be the only person who read the article
GlenL
Because now he can be the "hero" who got the vaccine deliveries back on track. He's a firefighter committing arson
Mashedup9999
My understanding is the feds are keeping the second doses held so if there is an issue they can still vaccinate the initial recipients.
Teratoid
No doubt doses will go missing. Thousands. They're just trying to disguise it.

Wait for the headlines saying democrats are shipping vans full of fake vaccines, calling it now.

woodenrobot
But seriously, what does he gain from killing his base?
BananaForScaIe
The larger the disaster he leaves, and the more roadblocks they put up, the more they can blame Biden. See: suddenly "debt is bad" talk.
TrueLegateDamar
Because he'll blame the Democrats, and they'll believe him

lwoshea
Pfizer sent us the vaccine. Trump and a few Republican Governors are refusing to distribute it to the people. Seriously.
jayman0123
Plus, Trump only ordered enough to cover registered republicans. Around 70-80 million. Then when he got caught said it was their fault
crypticorb
Do you have a credible source for, that, or just speculation?

Have you read a credible website recently? Like, I dunno, CNN? BBC? It doesn't seem like it. Go ahead, TRY THE TRUTH.

It's 100% not. This is goddamned DeSatantos acting like a fucking Duke in the Kingdom of Shitty.
usedpatiofurniture
Yeah but he's blaming Pfizer for the hold so it being a federal government issue is irrelevant.

Its actually trumps fault and desantis is covering
BillyHtchcoc
As he always will when it comes to someone who he thinks will further his ambitions. He was like that at 16, he'll be like that forever.
xjsxjs
Trump is funneling extra vaccine to red states. A lot of blue states suddenly had their shipments reduced.
BuckysGambit
Regardless, DeSantis is placing the blame on phizer
fbutaric
Pfizer is fighting back. Vaccine is sitting on shelf and they never were told where to ship it. Some states had their vaccine allotment 1/
fbutaric
2/2 cut by 40% even though Pfizer has the vaccine. This is intentional not a fuckup. I bet the orange trash panda is behind this
chaos021
Right. The point is the lack of communication. He doesn't exactly know and should've just said that.

Bullshit. this asshole knows. Any lie to make him look a little better. No act is too much, no deed too far to save face.

How would you analyze it? Right now you’re just saying words without anything to back it up. I would honestly want to see your side.
TheCrustyCrabPizza
It seems like there's many factors here. On the one side there was incorrect data that the federal government gave. DeSantis referenced
DisgruntledFerret
Oh yeah. Governor DeSantis, a poor misunderstood and complex man.
TheCrustyCrabPizza
Misunderstood? No. Complex? As complex as any other person who's publicly known. Even if it's easier for us to see them as 2 dimensional

CthuluChan
Okay but what dumbass web designer decided on that color text on that background
TheCrustyCrabPizza
Very informative and eye opening on whistle blowing. We shouldn't dehumanize people by calling them things like evil incarcerate though.
Treblaine
A key element of "evil" is the intelligence to know the consequences of your action, so evil is a distinctly human quality.
Treblaine
A rabbit that eats food meant for starving children isn't evil, a human who knows what the food is for but still takes it IS evil.

Yep. He fits they definition. Still not "pure," evil though. Nobody is.

What about the personification of evil, since he’s a perfect example of it
NotAPervert
“The act of personifying. n. A person or thing typifying a certain quality or idea; an embodiment or exemplification.”

If you're talking about a fictional character, or writing a story that shows qualities a real person has that embody that, sure
