Ron DeSantis (R) has called for a special legislative session to ban federal COVID-19 vaccine mandates in his state.<\/p>\n<p>During a press conference in Clearwater on Thursday, DeSantis said the federal government is trying to force the jab, while he maintains the belief in having basic medical freedom and individual choice.<\/p>\n<p>The governor made it known he plans on taking aggressive legal action to ban any federal mandates. DeSantis also said himself and the attorney general will be contesting the federal mandate in court.<\/p>\n<p>The Republican said they\u2019ll be taking legislative action to add protections for people in the Sunshine State, adding it\u2019s \u201csomething that cannot wait,\u201d and the legislature is being called back for a special session.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we were doing the last legislative session, it would never have occurred to me that we would be in the situation that we are with some of the insanity that\u2019s raining down right now,\u201d said DeSantis. \u201cWe took very strong action against things like vaccine passports, that was the right decision to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I am calling the Florida Legislature back for a Special Session to pursue stronger protections for Floridians against federal government mandates. <\/p>\n<p>No one should lose their job over a COVID shot.<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/H2v8I3GQiA\">https:\/\/t.co\/H2v8I3GQiA<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ron DeSantis (@GovRonDeSantis) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GovRonDeSantis\/status\/1451237782731599873?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 21, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>DeSantis noted not all the blame can be put toward the government, and that he will also be taking additional action with businesses who turned on their employees and ignored religious exemptions. He said Florida provided probably the strongest coronavirus liability protection for businesses in the country very early on.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo now see some of those businesses who were complaining about potential liability turn around and want to fire employees over these injections, I kind of feel like they\u2019re stabbing us in the back after we were standing up for them. And so, we\u2019re going to be pursuing a number of protections for employees.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Republican governor highlighted the mandate poses a potential threat to thousands of Floridians and said someone\u2019s got to stand up for people\u2019s jobs, livelihoods and constitutional freedoms.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/human-rights-activists-un-must-not-recognize-taliban\/\">Human Rights Activists: UN Must Not Recognize Taliban<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Florida Gov.
