That would be the message that actually would work with people. So, I think that they\u2019ve sent a message to say, \u2018You know what? Get vaccinated, but it really isn\u2019t going to do anything for you.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p class>The COVID-19 restrictions in the state have already been rendered toothless by the governor, however, making Monday\u2019s order somewhat redundant. The Times noted, \u201cDeSantis <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tampabay.com\/news\/florida-politics\/2021\/03\/11\/desantis-and-florida-cabinet-waive-fines-from-covid-19-restrictions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">previously waived<\/a> pandemic-related fines against individuals and businesses, effectively rendering some county and city restrictions toothless.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Times added that the order does not effect restrictions implemented in public schools.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis also made permanent an order that blocks so-called vaccine passports, \u201cprohibiting businesses, schools, and government agencies from requiring people to show documentation certifying COVID-19 vaccinations or post-infection recovery before gaining entry,\u201d the Times highlighted.<\/p>\n<p class>\u201cYou have a right to participate in society \u2026 without having to divulge this type of information,\u201d DeSantis told Floridians.<\/p>\n<p>The Republican standout made similar remarks about COVID restrictions and vaccines earlier this month. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/ron-desantis-if-you-get-a-vaccine-youre-immune-so-act-immune\">The Daily Wire<\/a> highlighted:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"19.330708661417\">\n<p><em>\u201cI also think it\u2019s a problem that people, where, you\u2019re telling people to get a vaccine and yet people who have been vaccinated for months are wearing two masks,\u201d DeSantis said, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wesh.com\/article\/desantis-florida-masks-vaccines-misinformation\/36149714\">according to WESH<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>DeSantis also said multiple times at the press conference that people who have been vaccinated should not be worried about wearing masks, especially multiple masks.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIf the vaccine is effective, why would you be wearing two masks?
