#Facing_criticism over the idea of vaccinating some of Manatee County’s #wealthiest_residents ahead of everyone else, Gov. #Ron_DeSantis #threatened to send future #pop_up #vaccination sites elsewhere.

Speaking at a Wednesday morning press conference at the temporary Premier Sports Campus drive-thru site, DeSantis argued that any additional shots for seniors are a benefit, noting that the 3,000 #shots #going_to #Lakewood_Ranch #residents are in addition to the county’s regular weekly allotment.

“If Manatee County doesn’t like us doing this, then we are totally fine putting this in counties that want it. We’re totally happy to do that,” DeSantis said. “Anyone that’s saying that, let us know if you want us to send it to Sarasota or Charlotte or Pasco or wherever, let us know — we’re happy to do it.”

“But I think most people — we have an opportunity to bring vaccine and do it efficiently — I think they’re going to want it,” he continued. “There’s folks that are going to complain about getting vaccines, I’ll tell you what, I’d be thankful because you know what? We didn’t need to do this at all. We saw a need and wanted to get the numbers up for seniors.”

#Ron_DeSantis #Threatens to #Pull #Vaccine from #FLORIDA. county that #accused him of favoring #Wealthy_Whites |

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis threatened to #divert coronavirus vaccine #doses from a county whose officials criticized him for opening a pop-up vaccination site limited to residents of an affluent, #mostly_white_community.

#Manatee_County_officials from #both_parties #criticized the #Republican_Governor after the state's #pop_up clinics in the #area were #limited to #two_zip_codes that are two of the #richest and #least_impacted in the #county, according to the #Bradenton_Herald.

Both zip codes are more than 90% #white with median incomes #over $100,000, according to #WTVT.

Manatee County #Commissioner #Vanessa_Baugh told the Herald that the clinics were set up in #Lakewood_Ranch and #other_wealthy_areas after DeSantis $spoke with Lakewood Ranch #developer #Rex_Jensen, a #campaign_donor.

"You're taking the #whitest_demographic and #richest_demographic in #Manatee County and putting them #before_everyone_else," County Commissioner Misty Servia, a Republican, said during a meeting this week.

"This is #bad for #all of #us, regardless of what district or population we represent because it makes our #system #look_bad," said #County_Commissioner #Reggie_Bellamy, a Democrat.
