Ever see a cancer treatment center look like this??




Fox News is reporting Ron DeSantis was with his wife on December 29, 2021 when she was receiving cancer treatment. Here they are together last night 2 days later at large crowded concert in Miami.

Undergoing chemotherapy can be hard. So if she can take time off to celebrate, even for only 30 min, she should.

For reals? If she was undergoing chemotherapy, her immune system would be shut. I don't think her doctor would be advising her to go to large mass gatherings without a mask.

Yet, there she is maskless during a pandemic.

Not only is she exposing herself to Covid, but she is also potentially exposing every patient at her cancer treatment center.

Sometimes I wonder which is worse, side effects of chemo or the cancer. Chemo is meant mainly to retard cancer growth, not cure it. So wife and I have taken in 2 cruises in last 3 months to experience some happy times. Sanitary protocols on the ships were exemplary, and we felt safer on ship than any land based restaurant or store.

Chemo kills red blood cells, and many other things in body, so certainly is a factor in reduced immunity levels.

Using the illness of his wife to score political points and as an excuse for his awful leadership.

His spokesperson said he was on vacation. When that got a bad response the story shifted to him being by his wife's side. All of it is a bunch of horseshit.
