DeSantis serves up Kool-Aid to his own GOP voters

By Froma Harrop / syndicated columnist

Ron DeSantis has earned some recent notoriety for casting doubt on the covid-19 vaccines and attacking the experts who happen to know about them.

“It seems like our medical establishment never wanted to be honest with people about the potential drawbacks,” the Florida governor said in his nasal whine. “So why can’t our medical establishment acknowledge that? Why the deception? Why have they continued to do this for two years?”

The likely presidential candidate now wants a Florida grand jury to probe “wrongdoing” by leading federal public health agencies related to the vaccine. Expect more hounding of the doctors fighting to keep alive the unvaccinated victims of right-wing lies. You can be sure that the politicians got all their shots, the bivalent included.

It’s never been clear what was in it for Republicans to talk down the importance of getting covid shots and question their safety. But it’s clear what’s not in it for them.

He has no charisma nor charm it might endear him to maggots but not the general electorate.
