Has Florida reached herd immunity




This past summer the Delta variant, which was preceded by the Alpha variant, of the COVID-19, virus began its rage across the United States. The medical professionals projected the death count would rise once again, and so it did across the country. However, many people for personal reasons, such as religious exception, a quest to maintain the purity of the blood, or down right stubbornness, decided not the get vaccinated. Then, a Stange thing happened. The side of the house which normally promoted individual liberties suddenly decided one's personal choice to abstain from vaccination was not on the menu of possible options. Even the civil liberties champions of the world, the ACLU make this comment, “At the ACLU, we are not shy about defending civil liberties, even when they are very unpopular. But we see no civil liberties problem with requiring Covid-19 vaccines in most circumstances.” [1] What? The ACLU believes it is ok to accost citizens and forcibly inoculate them with a chemicals of some kind? On the other side, those champions of good order and discipline, decided vaccines violated the doctrine of the son of Lancelot du Lac. God forbid they proclaimed; the vaccine would never allow one to enter the temple, for the vaccine had become blaspheme. Thus, the two sides dug in, and the fight was on. Taste great, or less filling!

While the civil libertarians decided to engaged in locking everyone inside their house (commonly known as lockdown), requiring all to mask up, and everyone was to close their business and work from a computer CRT, that is, massive hands-on government suppression, Florida Governor DeSantis decided to take a different approach. Governor DeSantis decided to let the citizens decide what was best for their personal self and family. He crafted several Florida executive orders which forbid anyone to discriminate on the bases of vaccine status. The members of good order and discipline championed the Govenor's “hands off approach”, that is, protecting the people, while the civil libertarians decided he was committing some kind of NAZI purge.

The results speak for themselves. Florida is currently falling fast from the ninth position of states most adversely effected by the Covid-19 deaths per capita with Mississippi and New Jersy being the worst at number one and two respectively. In addition, Florida’s per capita current 7-day average case counts places her at number 42 from the currently worst states being affected with Alaska and West Virginia being the worst at number one and two respectively. Yes, that is correct! Number 42 way down the list and falling. In fact, Florida may have been the first State to achieve herd immunity.

One-man cried in the wilderness, Florida Governor, Ron DeSantis, doing what he has been called to do, has exercised good Jeffersonian democracy by not seceding to the elitist Biden Bankers, and the Westminster system of the fortune 500 power brokers. Today, the statistical calculus proves Governor Ron DeSantis has made the correct decision.
