Okay, if vaccine passports succeeded, you would not see a lot of the stuff that you\u2019re seeing in a lot of states that implemented them and so all it served to do was discriminate against people based on an individual choice, create a two-tiered society, and yes they are moving,\u201d DeSantis said in the video.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLike I said a couple months ago, they are moving to update that to say in some parts they\u2019re going to say you need a third shot to be able to do. So those policies have not worked, and I think ultimately, look, people vote with their feet,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>In an earlier post, the governor also addressed concerns related to school closures over the recent surge in COVID-19 cases.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSad to see some parts of our county allow hysteria and fear to drive damaging policies like school closures,\u201d DeSantis said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat won\u2019t happen in Florida,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Sad to see some parts of our county allow hysteria and fear to drive damaging policies like school closures.<\/p>\n<p>That won\u2019t happen in Florida. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/BZAJsG5vGR\">pic.twitter.com\/BZAJsG5vGR<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ron DeSantis (@GovRonDeSantis) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GovRonDeSantis\/status\/1478524144828534791?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 5, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Jacksonville speech was used to announce that Florida is ready to open a monoclonal antibody treatment site if the federal government will provide the supply Florida needs.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Governor DeSantis is in Jacksonville ready to open a monoclonal antibody treatment site IF the federal government would provide the supply Florida needs.<br \/>Watch Now: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ranevlx7QP\">https:\/\/t.co\/ranevlx7QP<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ron DeSantis (@GovRonDeSantis) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GovRonDeSantis\/status\/1478400561422737413?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 4, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The press conference also included a bit of humor in addressing the controversy of New York Democratic Rep.
