Gov. Ron DeSantis: The State of Florida is ‘Done’ with COVID
Kyle Becker
Done. Through. Over. Finished. Kaput. Completed. Concluded. Ended. Spent. A wrap.
Whatever you want to call it, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is done with it. The lockdowns. The mask mandates. The business closures. The limited capacity. The vaccine passports. The State of Florida is now having none of it.
“The fact is, we are no longer in a state of emergency,” DeSantis said at a bill signing ceremony for SB 2006. “I think that’s the evidence-based thing to do. I think folks that are saying they need to be policing people at this point, if you’re saying that, then you’re really saying you don’t believe in the vaccines.”
The signing of the bill on Monday will effectively put an end to the state’s pandemic response. Private businesses can still require masks and enforce social distancing, but vaccine passports are now banned under state law.
In addition, emergency orders can now only last 42 days, and there will be stronger checks and balances on the state’s usage of ’emergency’ powers to infringe on citizens’ liberties.
“According to SB 2006, which DeSantis signed, any emergency orders could only last as long as 42 days,” the Orlando Sentinel reported. “It also gives the governor the authority to overrule cities and counties at any time, and city and county commissions the power to overrule mayors.”
“The law grants the Legislature power to overrule any emergency mandates or restrictions by the governor, which DeSantis implied was to prevent future Democratic governors from issuing restrictions Republican Legislatures don’t like,” the report continued.

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)

Don’t jump up and down yet. We’re still being controlled. It’s a mixed message. It’s not a win for health freedom, it’s a win for vaccines and all that’s needed to trigger is a new run of fake statistics, and absence of lockdowns would have no effect on that. Basically he’s ‘saying’, “if you believe in the vaccine, then we’re all safe.” This is a good start, but he needs to say vaccines will NEVER be mandatory.
