CBS News: How the wealthy cut the vaccine line in DeSantis' Florida

It became very easy for the rich Palm Beach County to get the vaccine in Florida, while there was a big shortage in the low-income West Palm Beach county. Here's an excerpt from the new CBS News investigation. DeSantis has become synonym with corruption:

On January 5, Majtlis, a retired businessman, got his first shot at a fire station just a block from his home. A few days earlier, the town had been given a thousand doses from the state. The vaccine was in short supply. Residents were thrilled. But neighboring towns were upset that Palm Beach was the only town in all of palm beach county to get the life-saving shots for their seniors.
You need to look up the definition of "irony".
Oh, yeah, one more aspect of the story. Publix.

First, the big money donors getting a vaccine shop set up right smack in the middle of their affluent development and only their residents allowed to get shots........when other people were driving 500 miles into the Panhandle to find a shot. And the developer's old man flying in from out of state to go to sonny's development for his shot.
THAT has been a big part of the local newspaper's criticism of DiSantis.

But Publix.
Publix did a decent job in rolling out and distributing their allocation of shots that DiSantis dropped in their lap. But everybody I talk to here thinks it was a pay-off.

WalGreens and CVS may have been a better than a grocery store. For one thing, there's more locations of those, and a proven record of vaccine distribution.
But Publix gave DiSantis a bunch of money.

As did he Publix heiress, Julie Francelli.
The very same heiress who funded Trump's January 6th Insurrection kick-off.
So Publix is getting plenty of heat here in the Sunshine State.
i'd bet a fair bit of casssssh money that they needed to fulfill some arbitrary requirements to get the vaccine and that's why they're the only ones who got it

They read the fine print

No one should be surprised by this.

I know I'm not.

You forgot to mention Publix received $40 for every shot from Medicare. Although all shot givers receive that Publix certainly had a head start.
You need to look up the definition of "irony".
You fancy yourself a bright lad I think you know exactly what the irony is no matter how much you like to pretend otherwise.
There isn't any in the OP.
No the irony is in the CBS story and how they cover and present them depending on if the subject in question is a Democrat or a Republican. This is from the same media that for at least a year cast Andrew Cuomo as the greatest leader in American history for his Emmy winning leadership on covid. I suspect stuff like this goes on in every state under Republican and Democrat Governors but you would never know it based on how the media covers it and that is your irony.


Whataboutism at its finest..

The Media covered the Cuomo story comprehensively.. Nearly every senior Democrat told him to resign...
Democrats screw up, but they at least try and own the consequences...

Lets just compare the way Cuomo and Gaetz are being handled by the respective parties...
Cuomo was distanced and asked to resign...

Gaetz has received support from Jordan and Taylor-Greene.. There is no major call from GOP republicans to resign... They are doing the GOP scandal stance, say nothing and hope it all blows away...

Meanwhile, illegal wetbacks are getting vaccinated ahead of citizens and no filthy LefTard says shit about it.
You have ZERO credibility.
 
we used to frown on racist slurs here. Don't know why we stopped.
There’s nothing “RACIST” about it....Wetback is actually a very political word.

What Gaetz is accused of is a badge of honor for Progs. Prog news people are not trusted anymore by a lot of people whether they are right or wrong. They did this to themselves as to us as the conversion of America into what we see everywhere else in the world, continues.

Wrong. CBS edited out what really happened. More lies and propaganda from liberal mainstream.
