It is long past time to stop the COVID Theater,\u201d DeSantis said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn Florida, we told the truth, we let the data drive our response, and we let Floridians make decisions for themselves and their children. As a result, Florida is in a better spot than states who used fear mongering and mandates,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Ladapo also emphasized the need to \u201cget back to living.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnder the leadership of Governor DeSantis, Florida has continued to stay ahead of the federal government by following sound science \u2013 not coercion,\u201d Ladapo said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flgov.com\/2022\/03\/07\/governor-desantis-closes-the-curtain-on-covid-theater\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statement<\/a> regarding the event.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cToday, we were able to bring doctors from around the world to discuss COVID-19 and the lack of data to support mandates. Scientific debate takes place in a public forum \u2013 it is not hidden in federal bureaucracy. We need to get back to living \u2013 not hiding in fear.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lieutenant Governor Jeanette Nu\u00f1ez noted DeSantis has \u201cled the nation\u201d in responding to COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was Governor DeSantis who led the nation prioritizing seniors, followed the data for businesses to remain open, and children to attend school in person, recognizing how little their risk was,\u201d Nu\u00f1ez said. \u201cWhile the Biden Administration criticizes our response to COVID-19, Florida remains to be the envy of the nation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Among the other medical professionals to address the issue was Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, M.D., Ph.D., Professor of Health Policy, Stanford University Medical School.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe lockdowns were an enormous catastrophic mistake that should never be repeated,\u201d Bhattacharya said in the statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we think about lockdowns, we should recoil with horror because the policies we followed have violated not just medical ethics, but also crushed the ability for scientists to discuss openly with each other facts and evidence. It\u2019s taken a great amount of effort and willingness to face abuse in order for scientists to speak up and many have been silenced. I think [we need] the restoration of the freedom for scientists to discuss with one another openly what the evidence actually says without fear of repression that we\u2019ve seen during the pandemic in order to support the lockdowns. I think that the proper place of science in society needs to be restored so that scientists can advise, but not dictate policy,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Jill Ackerman, M.D., Advent Health Shawnee Mission, also expressed her thoughts concerning the impact of the pandemic on children.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m just pleased to see the shift that we could now acknowledge that perhaps our children are not as resilient as we most often heard that they were,\u201d Ackerman said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hope that [with] this recognition we can move forward and prevent this from occurring in the future and recognize schools are essential. We really left that core principle in the dust over the past two years,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
