All elected officials swear an oath of office when they begin their term. This oath typically demands, requires and accepts ethical behavior with full recognition of the needs and welfare of all those affected by the specific office or job duties. Contrast that attitude with recent actions from Governors DeSantis of Florida and Abbott of Texas. Both are defying medical experts by blocking safety measures designed to protect unvaccinated children. Both states have the highest COVID positivity rates in the US and both states are begging for medical staff and resource help. Does anyone else see a disconnect here? Can anyone tell us why a Governor who has taken an Oath to protect his citizenry would intentionally defy medical experts and block safety measures while his state begs for medical help? We pray that the ignorance of these “leaders” does not cost Floridians their next generation. But–if reality and logic prevail–disaster cannot be far behind.
