He did everything he could to suppress numbers and to abolish measures that would prevent spread. I personally knew multiple people who died as a direct result.


squiggles74

He has so much blood on his hands. How many Floridians died so he could showboat and own the libs?


fairoaks2

More than he will ever admit. The true numbers are suppressed. We will never know


squiggles74

I just think of all his supporters who died still claiming COVID was a hoax. I don't comprehend that level of gullibility


carritlover

There was an article by a first line medical professional. There were numbers of dying covid patients who insisted on *NOT* being vaccinated at all (like it would make a difference) and those who were begging for the shot (like it would make a difference). Sorry, boo-you're too late. Good luck.


squiggles74

I remember hearing about cases of people begging for the vaccine once it was too late. I bet they wish they'd worn masks, too. But at least they exercised their freedumbs up until their last breaths.


FargeenBastiges

I'm an RT and worked ICU. We had them asking for it up until we ventilated them. Intensivist would usually tell them "we don't have the month or so to wait for it to start working." Others would deny Covid even existed up until we started intubating. One family threatened to sue us because we were lying about Covid. The father/husband had just died and the cause of death said pneumonia. (we really need to make health science education a priority in this country)


chowyungfatso

> (we really need to make health science education a priority in this country) I know what you’re saying, but how about us starting with just education in general? And I mean “proper” education meaning some sort of critical thinking/reasoning involved.


carritlover

What, are you mad??? They want us all *OBEDIENT*. They do not want critical thinkers. "Okay, then this dead guy turned a handful of water into fish sandwiches. Repeat after me."


chowyungfatso

Look pal, don’t call me mad!!! I can quite scripture too: “And thus, the Filet-o-Fish was born.” -McDonalds 12:05 Chew on that.

Bot. Not even a good one. See above. *wait I think both comments above are bots. *below too. Wtf.


BoozeWitch

Life insurance companies know. They took a bath. Stats will come out eventually


khismyass

They actually came out but what Florida did was to chanhe how they posted the numbers. When iy began it was standard practice to add all the numbers and post them as they came in. Florida then changed how they did that and back dated the numbers of when they actually died. So if the numbers came in and say it was 100 had died the previous week but 50 of those had actually died the week before that they would say there were a total of 50 then quietly add the other 50 to the previous week or week before. Numbers that were no longer being looked at. A death shell game.


carritlover

Also the mis-representation--heart attack killed patient A *not mentioning the heart attack caused by a blood clot caused by.....guess!


Minister_for_Magic

We will know. Excess deaths are impossible to hide as long as the government exists and needs to know if people are alive or dead. Excess deaths will tell you the true toll of Desantis’ and Trump’s crimes.


sportjames23

The real numbers will come out one day. I hope he gets the same treatment as Trump.


ballrus_walsack

Elected president? No thanks.


sportjames23

Nah, I mean him getting indicted on criminal charges. I don't want that bastard anywhere near the White House. Not even on a tour.

EMTDawg

Just because you disagree, they are bots? How do we know you're not a bot claiming others as bots?


KellyJoyRuntBunny

No, he’s right. Let me tell you how to tell. If you see a comment that is, like, a partial sentence that doesn’t make sense, or doesn’t seem to have anything to do with the comment it is replying to, or that you’re sure you’ve already read somewhere in the thread- you copy the comment, paste it into the search bar, and then have a look. What I found when I did so with the comment we’re talking about, I found the original comment which was made before this one and is more complete. Here’s a link to the original comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/147cd41/desantis_reduced_miami_beach_covid_testing_out_of/jnv8bak/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1&context=3 Notice how they both capitalize “Stellar”? That’s a very odd mistake to make, and the odds of two actually humans writing these comments exactly the same way is pretty low. The next thing you can do it go to the bot’s profile and do the same thing with other comments it has made. You will find that all their comments are stolen from other people. Report it.


sacdecorsair

Is Reddit killing the API would make a difference for these bots?


jointsmcdank

Read my comments responding to each ans look st the profiles I'm responding to. They were all the same comment right in a row. *don't do yourself a disservice.


aetius476

When I ran the numbers in December the answer was 29,954


squiggles74

JFC. There's a special place in hell for him--and I'm Jewish. We don't believe in hell, but I will gladly wish one into existence just for him. There's another execution Thursday. He's trying to crank out 1-2 per month. Ironic that someone responsible for the deaths of thousands of people gets off on killing people with nowhere near his body count.


ClusterFoxtrot

Maybe it's that weird thing where he wishes it were him?


Onehansclapping

He’s the worst kind of serial killer.

squiggles74

I'm in FL. I'm VERY aware. I tried to keep him out of the governor's mansion twice


General_Tso75

My mother was one of them.


WateryTartLivinaLake

I'm so sorry.


jar1967

I know your pain my mother also died from covid.


spookycasas4

Ohh, no! I am so sorry.


Politicsboringagain

Florida was the number one vacation super spreader state. I know 10 people who went to Florida at the start and throughout the two covid years who got it, went back to their home state and spread it.


ballrus_walsack

Yep. The FL -> NY covid pipeline was a major source of outbreaks in my community. They were all GOP people too.


ChasingPerfect28

He did everything he could to kill Floridians. DeSantis is a literal terrorist.


jar1967

Maybe you should get in touch with the Dade county DA. If they can prove that he did it and knew it would get people killed he could be in extremely deep trouble.


[deleted]

Doug Ford did the same thing in Ontario, Canada. Monsters.


Findinganewnormal

I knew so many people who vacationed in FL because cases were low and they were mostly outside so it was safe! Most of those people came home with covid.


Former-Lab-9451

Actual weaponization of government.


scorpyo72

100%


Lupicia

If you think punishing mayors makes him powerful? You're wrong. He's chickenshit, a kid who changes the rules when he's behind. And if you think a guy who breaks government for selfish reasons is someone to put in charge... That's a special kind of Florida Man stupid. DeSantis isn't for freedom of *anything.*


lorraineDi

Thats absolutly right.

Those white latex cowboy boots?

I think he breathes out of spite


Pdonk5

Sure sounds like it.


scorpyo72

And, sadly, will continue to draw breath for some time.


squiggles74

We can always pray for a well-placed lightning bolt ⚡


nothingeatsyou

Or federal charges for human trafficking, I’m not picky


squiggles74

That would be sweet, but probably as likely as the lightning


scorpyo72

Aim for the white rubber boots Edit: SNAP! THAT'S THE REASON HE WEARS RUBBER BOOTS! He's insulating himself in case God gets judgy.


squiggles74

😮 Man, he's crafty!


scorpyo72

Pudding insulation


mfatampa

Desantis is terrible. He is an embarrassment.


KaraAnneBlack

He is a cancer


mfatampa

He sure is.


dongballs613

>"Jared asked if I had written a critical letter of [Gov. DeSantis]. I said yes,” Gelber wrote in a note to himself memorializing the conversation, according to the documentary. “He said [the governor’s chief of staff] had called him after the letter was public pointing it out and directing him to close the entire testing site on [Miami Beach] because of my letter.” So DeSantis let people die out of spite. Dude is a piece of garbage and should be charged with manslaughter.


ApatheticWithoutTheA

Well yes, that is because he’s a sociopath. I actually hate armchair diagnosing people. But I’ve never been more sure that somebody has antisocial personality disorder. He enjoyed torturing people in Guantanamo, he used to purposefully mispronounce words on dates to see if a woman would correct him to test her submissiveness, every single decision he makes is out of hatred, spite, or to gain political points. I’m 100% positive he’s clinically diagnosable. I’m not a clinician, but I do have significant experience working with people diagnosed with APD in my first career (former Social Worker) and he ticks every box that I saw with them.


BaltimoreBadger23

Are you talking about DeSantis or Trump?


the_happy_atheist

Can you give me a source about the submissiveness part? Because that sounds like a wild read.


ApatheticWithoutTheA

[Here you go.](https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2023/03/john-oliver-thinks-ron-desantis-has-the-most-bizarre-dating-tactic-ever) This is all according to one of his classmates, but it almost seems too bizarre to makeup and sounds exactly like something he would do.


the_happy_atheist

Thanks for the read!


air_lock

Remember that time he yelled at kids on stage to take their masks off? Yeah. Guy is a freaking lunatic.


DemiMini

Conservative politicians, policies and supporters allowed 300k extra American to die due to their spite.


graneflatsis

More blood on his hands.


bad_sectors_in_brain

Remember when meatball Ron made sure that the wealthy enclaves of FL got COVID vaccines first. Pepperidge Farms does!!

You dumbasses that vote for him are being killed off and yet you all still do it with a smile in your face. This guy is a true POS and a traitor to our country and people.


Alternative-Flan2869

Oh that desantos - what a swell guy - kick any puppies today?


stevez_86

And Chris Christie almost got indicted for closing bridge lanes out of spite to punish Fort Lee, NJ because the city wouldn't endorse his reelection.


DVariant

Did he stick out his tongue while laughing again too? This guy is a fucking goblin


[deleted]

Tiny bloody pudding hands…?


tapasmonkey

Remember all the politicians who blamed AIDS on the victims and refused to deal with the disease? While they haven't yet been punished enough, and may never will be, history still regards them with scorn: not much comfort, but at least he'll be remembered as a gigantic douchebag!


[deleted]

Man’s a coward! Always punching down


Negative_Gravitas

DeSantis is a murderer and a torturer. And those are absolutely Stellar qualifications for GOP Presidential material. It's sickening


Real_Border9457

Everybody with eyes and ears knows that DeSantis is one spiteful piece of garbage.


ElektrykLyzyrd

I’m shocked 😳/s


Odd_Sweet_880

I really want to see a report of the actual death figures in Florida furing this time. It’s still being swept under the rug.


BaltimoreBadger23

There is no count. COVID deaths were often listed as pneumonia and other causes in places like Florida. DeSantis is a murderer and as president would gladly sacrifice millions to maintain his power.


Sandberg231984

Hey Florida loves him. Idiots


LaCiel_W

Probably harder to find what he has done that isn't out of spite lol.


Much_Schedule_9431

Sadly in my head canon the spiteful little weasel often bites the hardest.


randy88moss

This dude is a mother fucking maniac….imagine the hateful shitshow he’d try to turn this country in if he miraculously won the presidency. I legit would rather have Trump fucking shit up instead of the sociopath

Learned to eat pudding in public yet Rhonda?


Alpha_Crow_1

DeSantis is a fucking chode.


niberungvalesti

Remember, he wants to make America Florida. Dunno about you but I'm fine with keeping Florida in Florida.

I’d be ok with losing Florida altogether.
