That decision cost lives,” said Carlos Guillermo Smith, a Democratic former state congressman who filed the lawsuit against the Florida health department, later joined by the Florida Center for Government Accountability

Seems awfully political, it's not the surgeon General bringing the case, not the department of health, not a doctor, not even a chiropractor... just a washed up Democrat politician.
A washed up Democratic politician who prevailed in his lawsuit. I know that hurts you deeply.

Who won the case

And had a Court agree that DeSantis' administration illegally withheld the information. And also required them to provide, moving forward.

Why are you defending government incompetence by DeSantis' sycophants?

Israelis are pissed off at the sycophants in their government who enabled a Hamas attack, due to their own rightwing incompetence putting lackeys and idiots and grifters in charge of their security.

Why you would cheer that on, here in America, is beyond my (and most people's) comprehension.

Seems like there's a lot of that going around with people or companies like Pfizer trying to hide information.

Why are you changing the subject from a GOVERNMENT ADMINISTRATION which was Constitutionally obligated to convey the information to its residents from doing it?

Pfizer has nothing to do with Florida's demographic information on Covid spread.

They aren't constitutionally obligated to do anything but protect our national sovereignty. Show me in the state or federal constitution where the word "covid" is mentioned.

Good luck.
 
Laugh all u want KF. He has a huge cash advantage and he's struggling to even get into second place. Literally everyone makes fun of what a crap campaign he's running.

Has the DeSantis rally started yet? I remember being told it was too early 6 months ago. Surely he has surged up past Trump?

Oh, he's not even in 3rd place? Well no worries, Ron will rally soon!

It doesn't have to be in the FL Constitution to be required by law, you know.

Florida law:

119.01 General state policy on public records.—
(1) It is the policy of this state that all state, county, and municipal records are open for personal inspection and copying by any person. Providing access to public records is a duty of each agency.
(2)(a) Automation of public records must not erode the right of access to those records. As each agency increases its use of and dependence on electronic recordkeeping, each agency must provide reasonable public access to records electronically maintained and must ensure that exempt or confidential records are not disclosed except as otherwise permitted by law.
(b) When designing or acquiring an electronic recordkeeping system, an agency must consider whether such system is capable of providing data in some common format such as, but not limited to, the American Standard Code for Information Interchange.
(c) An agency may not enter into a contract for the creation or maintenance of a public records database if that contract impairs the ability of the public to inspect or copy the public records of the agency, including public records that are online or stored in an electronic recordkeeping system used by the agency.
(d) Subject to the restrictions of copyright and trade secret laws and public records exemptions, agency use of proprietary software must not diminish the right of the public to inspect and copy a public record.
(e) Providing access to public records by remote electronic means is an additional method of access that agencies should strive to provide to the extent feasible. If an agency provides access to public records by remote electronic means, such access should be provided in the most cost-effective and efficient manner available to the agency providing the information.
(f) Each agency that maintains a public record in an electronic recordkeeping system shall provide to any person, pursuant to this chapter, a copy of any public record in that system which is not exempted by law from public disclosure. An agency must provide a copy of the record in the medium requested if the agency maintains the record in that medium, and the agency may charge a fee in accordance with this chapter. For the purpose of satisfying a public records request, the fee to be charged by an agency if it elects to provide a copy of a public record in a medium not routinely used by the agency, or if it elects to compile information not routinely developed or maintained by the agency or that requires a substantial amount of manipulation or programming, must be in accordance with s. 119.07(4).
(3) If public funds are expended by an agency in payment of dues or membership contributions for any person, corporation, foundation, trust, association, group, or other organization, all the financial, business, and membership records of that person, corporation, foundation, trust, association, group, or other organization which pertain to the public agency are public records and subject to the provisions of s. 119.07.
History.—s. 1, ch. 5942, 1909; RGS 424; CGL 490; s. 1, ch. 73-98; s. 2, ch. 75-225; s. 2, ch. 83-286; s. 4, ch. 86-163; ss. 1, 5, ch. 95-296; s. 2, ch. 2004-335; s. 1, ch. 2005-251.

Yup

It was one "public record" that Desantis didn't want pushed out, because it would blow up his narrative.

It is SO strange that the people who decry "government" as being a sinister, secretive force are the same ones enabling those in government from abusing public records access and public oversight of their actions.

They are literally voting FOR the people who want to ELIMINATE this oversight.

Pfizer tried to hide data until a judge kicked them in the balls too.

People have an agenda and as long as the "sinister government" is helping their agenda they don't care about the truth. That's the whole republican party in a nutshell.

Weak. Criticize your boy for this and for every other decision of his that has been found unconstitutional.
 
Florida under DeSantis leadership had the 19th highest death rate via covid despite having the 2nd highest % of population over 65 and highest average age per resident.
Decisions made by him regarding vaccine rollout and antibody treatments made a real difference but Chis proving once again mindless partisanship knows no bounds.

Yeah right. Just don't report data and poof....nothing to see here!
