Florida continues to be a hub of freedom in the US.
The DeSantis administration has fined Leon County over $3.5 million for firing employees who didn’t comply with their vax policy.
We must protect the jobs of Floridians and preserve the ability of Floridians to make their own decisions regarding what shots to take.

The Florida Department of Health (FDOH), under Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R) direction, fined Leon County over $3.5 million this week after it fired over a dozen employees over vaccine mandates.
The FDOH fined the county $3,570,000 for an estimated 714 counts of violating a state statute, as DeSantis effectively banned the use of vaccine passports in the state. Yet, according to the governor’s office, Leon County proceeded with the requirement anyway.
On July 28, the county announced that employees had to be fully vaccinated by October 1. While the vast majority, 700, complied, 14 did not submit proof, resulting in their termination.
“It is unacceptable that Leon County violated Florida law, infringed on current and former employees’ medical privacy, and fired loyal public servants because of their personal health decisions,†DeSantis’s office said in a statement.
All GOP Governors should be doing this.
