A doctor disagrees with the Florida Republicans Governor Ron DeSantis‘Comment on the “medical authoritarianism” on the issue of the COVID-19 agreement stipulated by the government.
In the interview on Thursday Fox News host Tucker CarlsonDeSantis called this preventive measure “the greatest threat to freedom” in his life and compared it to the Berlin Wall.
The governor said: “They are basically saying that we are all succumbing to medical authoritarianism, no matter what they think needs to be done.” “We have to obey it. That is, Tucker, this may be my life since the fall of the Berlin Wall.” The most serious threat to freedom, because if you come to this illogical conclusion, you will eventually come to Australia, where they forcibly block the bayonet point.”
But Dr. Jonathan Reiner of Washington D.C. said in attendance CNN Saturday: “I have news to tell the governor. On the ventilator in the intensive care unit, the drug-induced coma is paralyzing a greater threat to freedom.”
Reiner, a medical analyst for News Network, accused the governor of violating the “rule of the hole” or “stop digging when you find yourself in a hole.”
“He dug himself a big hole in Florida,” the doctor said. “And he put himself in handcuffs. He has eliminated the tools that the governor must use to curb such a pandemic: enforce mask requirements, close crowded places, and actively or negatively motivate people to vaccinate. He has already cancelled. With all these tools, he found himself in a very deep hole, but he was still digging.”

Reiner frequently comments on the state of the COVID-19 pandemic in Florida. last week, He pointed out in another appearance CNN Few places in the world are experiencing a more severe surge of new cases than Florida.
“The viral load in Florida is now so high, only two places on the planet have higher viral loads,” Rainer said. “One is Louisiana and the other is Botswana. The temperature in Florida is so high, I think if Florida is another country, we will have to consider banning travel from Florida to the United States.”
In the statement sent to Weekly newspaper On Saturday, DeSantis’ press secretary, Christine Pushaw, said: “It’s great how CNN’s narrative reflects President Biden’s unprovoked attack on Governor DeSantis. I wonder why CNN pays so much attention to Florida instead of Louisiana, which has a requirement to wear masks, but the prevalence of new coronavirus is higher than Florida?”
Pushaw also highlighted DeSantis’ recent promotion of monoclonal antibodies as a preventive treatment for COVID-19, and the fact that the vaccination rate in Florida exceeds the national average. According to the NPR report, monoclonal antibodies can be strictly used to treat mild symptoms and cannot be used to treat patients with severe symptoms or hospitalization.
