DeSantis' top donor Ken Griffin, is CEO of Citadel, & has the 2d largest stake in Regeneron.










-----
DeSantis promotes Regeneron Covid 19 treatment, while downplaying vaccine effectiveness. His top donor (per an article last year) is Ken Griffin, who is CEO of Citadel, which has the 2d largest stake in Regeneron.

Griffin, [is] the founder and CEO of Citadel hedge fund …
“The second largest stake [in Regeneron] is held by Citadel Investment Group, managed by Ken Griffin, which holds a $171.2 million call position…” 6/28/21


He (DeSantis) received 5 million from Ken Griffin. Citadel is the second largest investor in regeneron with 185 million in holdings.

This can't be said enough: The regeneron treatment DeSantis is pushing cost at least $1,250 per dose.
Covid-19 vaccines cost $0

angle was for DeSatan to be pushing Regeneron and now we know. He’s an evil little POS. I hope this hits the front page of some Florida papers.

with the delta variant and make him wait in line until a doctor or nurse becomes available.

This cannot be publicized enough. Destroy the F'er with it.

For a vaccine. Am i correct? Are they breaking a law IF they are handing it out as a VACCINE?

I think Regeneron is an antbody treatment, not a vax.

I see Jim Cramer the stock guru 🙄 is promoting Regeneron stocks too. He probably knows Ken Griffin also.

schools and municipalities from taking precautions (like masks) and is downplaying vaccines in order to make people ill and profit from the treatments that he has invested in.

He is murdering people for profit.

You have to be sick with covid first, before you need it... This would seem to be why DeSantis is dead-set towards making as many people as sick as possible--

and when his buddy makes more money off of it, he will get more campaign contributions from him!


This is pretty freaking sick, but it all begins to make sense now.... There is a money motive for the DeathSanta's madness.

I have not felt this angry toward someone since the 9/11 attacks. Gitmo would be a good place for him, too.

With these repugs it's always, always, always about the money for themselves and their donors and if they can kill us (everyone but rich, white and rw) as well - triple bonus in their eyes.
