In a potential wedge issue for the 2024 primary, DeSantis is attacking the life-saving covid shots he once praised and promoted
“We’re having more vaccine because of this, which is great,” DeSantis said of a federal program shipping shots to pharmacies in February 2021.misleadingly disparaging the vaccines, convening skeptics to buck guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and seeking to investigate vaccine makers for fraud.
“We know he’s not really anti-vax, he’s on the record, but now he’s taking this position for really blatant political purposes, it appears, and it’s really undermining to health care professionals,” said David Pate, a retired health systems executive and lifelong Republican who has advised Idaho Gov. Brad Little . “I’m not sure what the gain is, because he’s already got the base, and now this is just going to alienate moderates and independents.
“If the left comes at him and says, you flipped because you want to be more anti-vaccine than Trump, he’s just gonna kill ’em with facts,” said Eric Anton, a GOP donor who said DeSantis would be one of his top choices for 2024. “If you want to call that political, then I think you’re too political.” “Initially his position was much more reasoned where he was actually saying vaccines are an important tool but maybe he didn’t think it was necessary to mandate that. That’s a reasonable debate to have,” said Jennifer Nuzzo, a professor of epidemiology and director of the Pandemic Center at the Brown University School of Public Health. “Where I feel that the argument has improperly gone is to try to impugn the safety of these vaccines.
