It will be interesting to see if any brave fact-checkers are involved in the media. Given their consistent respect for Jen Psaki, I doubt it, but anyway, she told some rumors today when she tried to attack Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

They always tell you who they are afraid of, right?
In today’s briefing, Psaki launched a series of attacks, first claiming that DeSantis was playing politics instead of following “public health.”
* “Encourage people to vaccinate and encourage people to wear masks, including allowing-allowing schools to require masks to be mandatory, and allowing-allowing children to wear masks. This is not the current situation in Florida.”
This is not the day I was typing. sigh.

There are too many lies here, it is difficult to know where to start. DeSantis has promoted the development of vaccines from the very beginning.In fact, I made one in 60 minutes Whole percussion Trying to slander him prioritizing vacations for the elderly, which is the group most vulnerable to the virus. Despite the accusations here, DeSantis’s actions have absolutely no political significance. Throughout the pandemic, he reviewed the data and made a reasonable decision.In contrast, playing with politics is pushing to reformulate regulations on masks, including those for children. Scientific theory They do not work.
Psaki’s mention of “allowing people” to wear masks is also an outright false statement.

Nothing DeSantis has done prevents people from wearing masks in schools or elsewhere. If parents want to cover up their children against science, it is of course their right. No one will tell them they can’t. Instead, what DeSantis does is to give parents the right to choose. He would not allow schools to compulsorily require wearing masks because there are good reasons to believe that this is a kind of overall harm to children, and he has not provided any statistically relevant information for people under 18 (who are almost immune to the virus and are not a transmission medium). protection of.
The White House’s boasting is simply indecent. They have no particular knowledge of what is happening in Florida, and they have been wrongly predicting the doom and haze in the Sunshine State.
For his part, DeSantis would fire on Psaki through his press secretary. Fox News.
DeSantis press secretary Christina Pussau told Fox News in an email: “By despising the efforts of Governor DeSantis to protect vulnerable Florida people, Pasaki is playing with pandemic politics.”
“The White House should pay more attention to the CDC’s abnormal behavior. The CDC’s chaotic and contradictory public communication has inadvertently contributed to vaccine hesitation. People who are vaccinated should wear masks and maintain social distancing, which means that vaccines are not. Will change anything. This is the wrong message that our federal government wants to promote.”
This is correct, in my opinion. The biggest problem with vaccine distribution comes from within the White House and the institutions it controls. CDC’s information transfer is a mess. Dr. Anthony Fauci still provides out-of-context comments on TV (such as his assumptions about viral load and someone’s infectivity). If people do not believe that vaccines will have an impact, they will not get vaccinated.
On the other hand, Florida has made vaccine distribution a priority for those who need it most, and it has paid off. Yes, they have seen the Delta peak now (if history can be used as a reference, other states in the future will see the same situation). But this mainly occurs in far less vulnerable people, as evidenced by the relatively low mortality rate.
In short, the case is not a good barometer for anything, and Psaki chose to use this line as an entrance to spread lies about Florida and DeSantis, which is more proof of their commitment to the 2024 campaign. The degree of human fear.
