For Once Psaki Is Correct

But a sensible person would use “credits”, not “blames”.

Psaki Blames DeSantis for Walt Disney World's Vaccine Mandate Pause – PJ Media

There’s no doubt that the actions of Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) led to Disney pausing their corporate mandate.

But that’s a good thing, not a bad thing. Psaki doesn’t see it that way, though.

“They’re based in Florida, and obviously the governor there has consistently taken steps to take steps backwards as it relates to fighting the pandemic, not forward,” Psaki told reporters on Monday.

Naturally, the administration would be upset at corporations who make decisions in their own best interests without automatically bowing at the feet of government intrusion.

Backward steps?

Florida’s COVID stats continue to look better and better. As of November 19, the state has vaccinated 68% of its population — and that number skews low because it includes the small number of children who have received the shot.

In the midst of such encouraging numbers, Florida continues to line up on the side of medical freedom under the leadership of DeSantis.

If you think this is backwards, you must be facing the wrong way. It’s forward to everyone else.

Well Done, Disney

Disney World Pauses COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate – PJ Media

Of course, they didn’t really have a choice. Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) made their mandate illegal.

Still, good on them for following the law.

Disney announced it would make vaccinations mandatory for all its on-site salaried and non-union (huh!) hourly employees nationwide back in July—six weeks before Joe Biden announced his vaccine mandate.

According to an internal memo obtained by FOX 35 Orlando, the pause will remain in effect while they “assesses the new state laws protecting workers from vaccine mandates.”

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed legislation last week protecting Florida workers from losing their jobs due to vaccine mandates. Employers face a $50,000 fine per violation.

“Nobody should lose their job due to heavy-handed COVID mandates, and we had a responsibility to protect the livelihoods of the people of Florida,” DeSantis said in a press release.
