(Ezekiel Loseke, Headline USA) Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis held a press conference to call for accountability for disastrous and deadly COVID policies on the three-year anniversary of “15 days to slow the spread,” on Thursday.
DeSantis noted that we were three years out from the promise that the virus could be contained in 15 days, if all would simply submit to the authoritarian demands of the COVID schoolmarms.
He then pointed out that the experts were wrong, according to Breitbart News.
“It’s just important to say the experts that designed these policies … you know, they were wrong about almost everything,” he said. “They were wrong about forced masking. The CDC at one point said if you wear masks, COVID would end in six weeks. … They said that and that was not true.”
The experts were wrong about more than masks.
“They were wrong to deny the existence of natural immunity,” he said. “That’s just a fact of life when you recover from something like that, you do get protection, and they said no on natural immunity for a long time.”
DeSantis argued that the experts lied about the time they intended to lock down the population.
They “never intended just 15 days,” he said. “That was just, basically, marketing to try to get people to buy in initially. The plan was always, I think, to have it longer.”
DeSantis argued that these lies were manipulative.
“I think every step of the way, they would always try to do things to condition your behavior, control your behavior. I think it’s just better policy to just tell it like it is. Give people the information, the best information you have, give it to them, give them the facts, and then let them make the best decisions for themselves and for their families,” DeSantis said.
The popular governor demanded accountability and also the truth for what unfolded during the pandemic and the public hardship that failed policies produced.
“We need accountability,” DeSantis said. “We need to know everything about the lab leak. We need to know about the role of Dr. Fauci in all of this to make sure that he is held accountable.”
