White House apparently wants FL elderly to die of COVID--Gov. DeSantis refuses to give in

White House press secretary Jen Psaki suggested that Florida is lagging behind in vaccine distribution since Gov. Ron DeSantis is holding the second dose of vaccine for the elderly who already received the first dose, because without the second dose, a person isn't fully inoculated against the dreaded virus and the elderly are the most vulnerable to it.

DeSantis hit back on Tuesday in a statement directed to Psaki's vile insinuation designed to further divide the nation. He called the ginger "totally disingenuous," and noted why the doses are being held back. If they weren't, what would be the point of a first dose?

“The insinuation that Florida is underutilizing vaccines in totally disingenuous. Florida is number one in the country among the top 10 most populous states for vaccine doses per capita. Additionally, Florida is averaging more than 300,000 first does per week but we are not going to divert second doses away from our seniors,” DeSantis said in a statement.

“If the implication is that we should be giving those second doses away to other people, that is not the way the FDA has prescribed the series. We are also number one in the nation by far in vaccinations of seniors, as Florida has vaccinated more than 1 million seniors 65 and older to date,” the Republican governor continued. “If we are given additional first doses, we are ready to double our output. The possibilities are endless here in Florida, but it is contingent on us getting additional supply from the federal government. We are committed to ensuring our seniors are the priority and get their second dose, and if the White House is suggesting that we shouldn’t be doing that, I don’t think that’s a good suggestion.”

Meanwhile, California, New York, and New Jersey are having their elderly populations, all in Democrat-run states, dying in the greatest numbers per capita, in spite of Emmy Award-winning Andrew Cuomo writing a self-congratulatory book about the wonderful job he is doing.

Funny, but you don't hear the White House, Psaki or the legacy media mentioning that little factoid.

And while these idiots have the schools closed, in spite of the nearly zero chance a young child would die of COVID or spread it, they keep the bars open so the teachers will have a place to recreate.

Tell me this hasn't become a totally political issue.
