Today there is a new story aimed at attacking Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (Ron DeSantis), who wanders around on free media and social media.
“Four teachers in Broward County, Florida, died of COVID-19 within 24 hours. Schools there ignored Governor DeSantis’ ban on wearing masks,” the headline news Shout out.
This is CNN promoting it, of course, and then linking it to DeSantis’ promotion, that is, it is not mandatory to wear masks in schools, but to let parents make decisions for their children.
Sudden: WFOR reported that 4 teachers from Broward County died of COVID-19 in one day.

In addition to this story there are some problems.
Starting from the fact that the school has not yet started, so when they find out, these people may have been on vacation. So none of these people caught anything because of what DeSantis did. But despite this, you still have liberals accusing DeSantis.
DeSantis has more blood on his hands. It is also the death cult of the right-wing “who cares whether others are vaccinated”. https://t.co/rK7k9oouPS pass @雅虎新闻

It’s just another “error” that seems to be directed at DeSantis, right?Like the CDC Mistaken the number of cases in Florida. No, the media has no excuses. They know when school starts, but they are twisting this to specifically attack him. They cannot claim to be wrong on this point.
Another problem? This information comes from the comments of a teacher union chairman who opposed the DeSantis ban and spread the story to various media.
The Broward Teachers Union told NBC Miami on Thursday that three teachers and one teaching assistant in Broward County, Florida, died of COVID-19 within 24 hours.
According to NBC Miami, union president Anna Fusco stated that at least three of the four had not been vaccinated. She added that all four people contracted the virus during the summer vacation and died at the beginning of the school year.
Fusco told CBS Miami that one is a high school teacher and the other teaches in an elementary school. The teaching assistant and the remaining teachers are from the same school. “It’s very scary,” she said. “I hear this every day. Whether in Broward or elsewhere. We are the fifth largest union in the country.”
She told NBC Miami: “This is really popular because we have been talking about wearing masks in schools. It is not necessary for our elected governor to act like wearing masks.”
Does anyone bother to check the authenticity of this story? Do they really die within 24 hours? Is it from COVID or “and” COVID? Sorry, but at this point, due to the spread of all false information, I don’t just believe what the chairman of the teachers’ union said—I think there are some facts to support it.
Sadly, someone died from the virus. But it is also obvious that death — and anything related to the virus — is completely politicized. If the teacher is not in school, then these deaths have nothing to do with DeSantis’ position on the mask issue. Therefore, the media once again owed DeSantis an apology. It’s not that they will give it to him.
This is an absurd framework. Broward County schools will not open until next week.
You can say this for any profession. This has nothing to do with whether they are “teachers” or what the school should do with masks, vaccines, or anything else. https://t.co/SUtNNsB0Sn

Broward School has not yet opened. But the effort was blamed on DeSantis.
