The DeSantis management responded in the majority whip of Parliament, James Clyburn, DSC, after the third highest-ranking Democrat in the House claimed that the governor of Florida “made it more difficult” to vaccinate children against COVID-19. Clyburn made numerous claims about the availability of COVID-19 vaccines from the state of Sunshine for children under the age of five, saying in a press release that Governor Ron DeSantis, a Republican, had taken “measures to prevent access to life-saving vaccines for him.” coronavirus for young children in Florida “.

Lapado noted that the Florida Department of Health never restricted access to vaccines, as Clyburn claimed, and that private providers “never limited themselves to ordering” when the department decided not to pre-order vaccines. “Separately from the order, I recommended COVID-19 pediatric vaccines for children under 5 years of age,” wrote the Florida general surgeon. “There is no evidence that this vaccine is more effective than placebo at reducing serious illness and other clinically significant effects in this age group.” “There is also insufficient data on the safety of the COVID-19 vaccine,” he said, noting the risks associated with the vaccine, such as myocarditis and pericarditis in adolescents and young men. Lapado also claimed that Florida lives up to its name as Sunshine State by providing strong data and information on COVID-19 treatments.
