Senate OK needed to send Florida vaccine passport ban to DeSantis’ desk
By Washington Examiner, May 3, 2021
Florida will fine any business or school $5,000 each time it requires a “vaccine passport,” or proof of COVID-19 vaccination, for entry or participation under a bill bound for Gov. Ron DeSantis’ desk.
The House Wednesday passed Senate Bill 2006 in a 76-40 vote and sent it to the Senate to endorse a newly added amendment before the session ends Friday.
Sponsored by Sen. Danny Burgess, R-Zephyrhills, SB 2006 was passed by the Senate on April 22 in a 27-9 vote.
The 49-page SB 2006 amends the state’s Emergency Management Act to place limits on local emergency powers and installs fines for businesses or institutions that require vaccine documentation. The relatively technical amendment added Wednesday clarifies COVID-19 screening protocols.
Under SB 2006, violating the state’s vaccine passport ban would be punishable by fines up to $5,000 per violation.
Under another provision, local government emergency powers would be limited to 10 or 30 days. To extend the emergency order beyond 30 days, a vote needs to take place with a majority of voters approving the emergency order extension.
Opponents argued the bill infringes on business owners’ property rights and would impair the travel industry and the state’s cruise line operators, who say their customers want fellow travelers to be vaccinated.
“What about the cruise ship industry? What about the hospitality industry? They can’t make those decisions?” asked Rep. Michael Grieco, D-Miami Beach.
Rep. Omari Hardy, D-Lake Worth, said Republicans support for a vaccine passport ban undermines their pro-business claims, especially when it comes to the state’s $8 billion cruise industry and overall $90 billion tourist/hospitality economy.
“If you care about our business community as certain elected officials in this state say that they do, why would you prevent people from enacting policies that give their customers the assurance, the confidence, that they can walk into a business, and that they’ll be safe?” Hardy asked.
Rep. Tom Leek, R-Ormond Beach, who carried SB 2006’s House companion, said forcing people to be vaccinated to go to work or to patronize a business discounts legitimate concerns about the shots.
“We have vaccines, through some miracle of science, that work. We also must recognize that COVID-19 vaccines don’t have the same proven history as the same vaccines we require our schoolchildren to get,” Leek said. “We must recognize that vaccine hesitancy is real and understandable.”
Leek said the ban also prevents discrimination of minority communities with lower rates of vaccination.
“Let’s return to normal, but recognize that it is fair for certain segments of our community to be hesitant about getting the vaccine,” he said. “And it is absolutely true that the largest segment of our community that is vaccination hesitant is our minority population.”
Wednesday’s floor debate on SB 2006 occasionally evolved into a referendum on Gov. Ron DeSantis’ pandemic policies.
The governor – a leading 2024 GOP presidential candidate not named Donald Trump – has been promoting his open policies during the pandemic against “lockdown states” on national media circuits for months.

It should also be noted that there is a lot of suspicion for the vaccines. Much of this can easily be related to the rapid development of the vaccines. But more concerning than this was the level of obvious chicanery that was employed to make sure the vaccines were developed. In my previous posting I just very briefly discussed the chicanery surrounding the successful attempts to undermine the support for the development of treatments and cures for Covid. Much more could be presented to delineate the sinister nature of the tactics that were employed to this end. Suffice to say that these tactics had a greater result than the terrible decision to focus all resources on the development of a potentially viable vaccine rather than focusing on preventatives and treatments. An additional casualty to this Machiavellian campaign of deceit and duplicity acted to undermine the public confidence in the very vaccines that were produced. The enormous number of reportings on VAERS has further eroded the public confidence in the claimed safety of the vaccines. Public confidence also suffered due to the overt censorship campaign against any discussion on the vaccine. Additionally, when the number of related deaths to the vaccines was 1600(this is truly unbelievable number of deaths associated with a preventative treatment), the CDC claimed they investigated and none of these deaths were found to be related to the vaccines, but they refused to release their methods of investigation or any data to support the conclusion. And these reports of severe reactions increase as do the related deaths as do the public’s distrust…
All of this calls into question what would it take to have these vaccines removed from the market? Well, the experimental nature of the vaccines provide the vaccines with likely unintended protection from this. Its experimental, so buyer beware. But if they were authorized and 5 deaths were related to the use of the vaccines, this fact would be put on every commercial and every advertisement for the vaccine in question. Also if over 50 people died, the drug would be pulled of the market. So by maintaining the experimental nature, no consequences are triggered by the disproportionately high number of VAERS reportings. And one last point – these vaccines have produce in 4 months more adverse reports than all the vaccines in the previous 15 years combined. So with all of this in mind and as Dr. Bhakdi pointed out, everyone has a very important decision to make.
I never wondered if a lab rat had a choice would he stick around for the conclusion of his drug trials, but the question does strike me as being fairly relevant now.

Dr. Bhakdi noted that everyone had a very important decision to make regarding these vaccines. For people to do so, however, it is an absolute necessity that the public be honestly informed of the facts surrounding these vaccine reactions and deaths. Dr. Bhakdi mentioned the many reportings on VAERS. The VAERS(short for Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) is a US system of reporting in which anyone who is treated with a vaccine and has any symptoms that are of concern can report them. Not all the reported symptoms will be relatable to the vaccine, but also not everyone who develops symptoms will report them on VAERS. To better understand VAERS, let’s consider deaths. Just because someone is vaccinated on Tuesday does not mean that the vaccine is related to their dying on Thursday. That being said it also doesn’t rule it out. So this is the purpose of VAERS. Data is collected and trends of common symptoms or diseases are highlighted for investigation when they occur more in the people taking a given vaccine than is seen in the general public. But the number of serious side effects associated with the Covid vaccines being reported is overwhelmingly of concern. The problem with the vaccines that were developed was that they were developed around the spike protein. The spike protein has a similar appearance to many other sites in the human body. This can lead to auto-immune responses where the body’s immune system mistakes friend for foe (human tissue for viral particles). The resulting severe immune reactions that could result would appear similar to what has been seen of the severe vaccine responses and also much of what has been reported on VAERS. But there was an alternate type of vaccine that was proposed by Peter Hotez. Hotez suggested the production of a vaccine based around the receptor binding domain. Without going into the details, Hotez’s vaccine is a more traditional approach to a vaccine than was the newer more exciting and more experimental vaccines that were chosen to be produced by the US and other gov’t funded projects. Hotez has received very little financing but has managed to produce a vaccine that is cheap and will hopefully survive drug trials this summer to be employed in Africa and India. The greatest benefit of Hotez’s vaccine is that the receptor binding site that is targeted is believed to not appear similar to any sites in the body. This would result in Hotez’s vaccine being potentially much safer than the more daring and experimental vaccines that are being employed currently.

@ Reader:
Thank you for posting that link, Reader. I have not seen this physician before, though I had heard about him. Dr. Bhakdi is an excellent communicator and his ability to describe the myriad of disease processes and complex testing methods in clearly relatable terms for the routine lay person, in a foreign language no less, was very impressive. The unfortunate reality is that just about everything he said is true. The vaccines can cause very serious side effects that are both life altering and life limiting. I think he misspoke when he stated that most of these adverse effects were related to the possible presence of blood clots in the brain(aka cerebral venous sinus thrombosis). This, however, is, I believe, either an overstatement or perhaps an oversimplification of what is known. Covid has two main avenues of assualt against the body: inflammation and coagulation. The two processes are not entirely independent of eachother, but many of the adverse reactions are clearly inflammatory in nature and are not relatable to the cerebral venous sinus thrombosis.

I don’t remember whether I posted this here or not.
I posted this link in a comment on Arutz7 on 04-29-21 and my comment was removed without a trace.
The title of the link is not really what he is talking about but if he is correct about things he says, the situation can get pretty bad.

I would challenge anyone interested in taking the vaccine to first watch an 18min video by Dr. Urso that I will link below to see if this raises any concerns. The video is a dispassionate discussion of the concerns and problems associated with these experimental vaccines. Dr. Urso is an ophthalmology surgeon and was one of the doctors presenting the lectures at the America’s Front-line Doctors(AFLD) last year. His advocacy in this project resulted in his license to practice medicine being threatened. He is not an anti-vaccine advocate and he speaks of this and many other things in this presentation in a manner that should be very easily comprehended.
But regardless of any personal determination on these experimental vaccines, it is inappropriate and illegal under international law to coerce, threaten or force individuals unconvinced of the efficacy or safety to submit to experimental drug treatments/trials(see Nuremberg Code). No one and especially not any gov’t organization should be involved in such illicitly illegal, imoral and inexcusable behavior – in this I would hope, but not expect, we could have unanimous agreement . It is a personal choice, and it should be an easy one at that – when given the facts.
Here is the link for the video I referenced above.

@ deanblake:
The mass vaccinations that are being employed in the US, Israel and around the globe will have significant implications going forward for the world as a whole but should be based not on threats or coersion, but rather on individual judgement on whether to submit to experimental drug treatments and trial. There are a number of resources available which can adequately explain the rational role of vaccines in achieving a relative immunity from a given disease to a given population, but prior to this a vaccine must first be demonstrated as being safe and then effective. The political control exercised by pharmaceutical companies over the world’s gov’t’s and the trillions of dollars(and this is not an exaggerated range of funds involve here) at stake was combined with the mass hysteria over the Covid epidemic to produce a vaccine product that is EXPERIMENTAL and is only approved under emergency conditions – i.e. there is no other authorized treatment. The decision to invalidate any preventative measures such as hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin, both of which have overwhelming scientific support of efficacy, is the basis allowing this experimental drug to be used at all. Political manipulations of scientific results and drug studies by the foremost acknowledged elements of the scientific community related to HCQ and ivermectin combined with the politcal cover from the CDC resulted in the certification that there were no safe protocols for treatment/prevention of Covid – and this claim of a lack of prevention/treatment persists to this day allowing the continued use of these experimental drugs. It is a well known, but poorly emphasized and poorly communicated, fact that historically the RNA vaccines have had a catastrophically tragic record of success. Meanwhile, many questions regarding the safety and efficacy of these experimental vaccines persist. The mounting number of fatalities and vast array of complications coincident with the administration of the vaccine are disproportionate to anything seen before. Regardless of the data suggesting otherwise, there may be good answers that reveal these experimental vaccines as being safe and effective, but the vaccines are classified as experimental for a reason and the resulting data is overwhelmed with concerning questions.

They’ll have to shoot me first.
This will only force the Federal government to act. We all take Whooping cough, measles small pox vaccine as infants, polio, chicken pox (shingles) and annual influenza shots. Most of us know why we do it – to live healthy. Can’t be admitted to public schools, army nor travel internationally without them. Some of us have shots for yellow fever and others. What’s the problem??? Shots don’t stop polio, influenza or shingles, it simply prevents a fatal immune reaction, just like the Covid-19 shot. What’s your problem???? ‘Imposition ‘? It’s a matter of public health, we’re all part of the solution or we become part of the problem. The shots and free hospitalizations will not go on forever, but the dying will. Get the shot. I did and I had that rare 5th day reaction that made me feel Greeeeeat! Stimulated my immune system and suppressed a chronic infection and the inflamitory reaction. Get it!!!!
I wish they did the same in Israel.
Herd immunity is no longer relevant; arbitrary goal posts moved even higher; meanwhile, the packaging warns that the COVID vaccine does not prevent COVID. Any more duped saps want to get “the poke”? Even Anderson Cooper is not smiling at the “good news”.
