Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has launched a sensational attack on the new Covid booster vaccines and urged Floridians under 65 not to take it.
The Republican Presidential hopeful claimed the shots had ‘not been proven to be safe or effective’ and accused the CDC of using ‘healthy Floridians as guinea pigs’.
Despite the strong rhetoric, Florida’s move to restrict the vaccines for healthy young and middle-aged people is not unprecedented, with countries like the UK also doing similar with their fall booster campaign.
DeSantis attracted fans during the pandemic for his hardline stance against Covid lockdowns and mandates but has been criticized more recently for promoting faulty vaccine data.
After holding a vaccine panel on Wednesday, DeSantis said: ‘I will not stand by and let the FDA and CDC use healthy Floridians as guinea pigs for new booster shots that have not been proven to be safe or effective.

‘Once again, Florida is the first state in the nation to stand up and provide guidance based on truth, not Washington edicts.’
The comments put DeSantis firmly to the right of rival and Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump, who spearheaded the development of the mRNA Covid vaccines.
An estimated 96 percent of Americans now have antibodies against Covid, through previous infection or vaccination, which has made the disease increasingly mild for most people.
