Gov. Ron DeSantis has made it clear once again that he will not allow any lockdowns in Florida over COVID-19, this time over the Omicron variant. Christie Zitzo reports for clickorlando.com that, to be clear, neither President Joe Biden nor Dr. Anthony Fauci is talking about any lockdowns.
Gov. DeSantis in Orlando saying he will not allow any lockdowns because of COVID omicron.
To be clear, President Biden is not talking about any lockdowns. He and Dr. Fauci are urging vaccinations. https://t.co/GJLNLgcNRr

While it’s true that Biden is urging vaccinations — and wearing a mask when you’re indoors — he did tell reporters on Monday during his presser about the new variant that lockdowns are off the table … “for now.” “If people are vaccinated and wear their masks, there’s no need for the lockdown,” he added.
This sounds familiar.
Fine.
So what's the problem?

Maybe she wants lockdowns. Most media activists do

Uhm thats how they start their narrative each time. “Do you think this vaccine should be mandated?” Back when he became president what did he say?? Then it was “no the general public wont need boosters”. “I dont think masks should be mandated either but we think its good to wear”

Bingo

We’ve gone from “no vaccine mandates” to “you’re not considered fully vaccinated if you haven’t had the booster.”
He also said he wouldn't do mandates 🤡

Didn’t he say he wouldn’t have mandates…before he did?

Biden also said there would be no vaccine mandates and yet……

"For now"

Can you please help me with understanding what “for now” means? https://t.co/HUvDxP76pi

They said no lockdowns for now. It is 100% on the table.

Biden literally talked about lockdowns. And he did it in a disingenuous way that will let him weasel on it later if/when he decides to do them.
— Howard Beale’s hate child (@BealesHateChild) November 30, 2021
Just to be accurate, @POTUS said "for now". They made it clear that lockdowns WOULD be considered if we did not comply with the vaccine and mask directives.
So it's now a threat. Except in states like FL

Lol be for real lady…you know damn well Biden will go back on his promise and have his blue state goons issue lockdowns again. Cut the gaslighting

EVERY SINGLE time Biden and Fauci said they would not do something they did it a few months after. "You made me do this!" (the words of an abuser…)
— E (@ericlepetitsf) November 30, 2021
“To be clear”, President Biden and Fauci were denying they’d coerce people to take vaccines, until they did it. Why would anyone still trust a word those people say?
DeSantis is just letting everyone know that if they do try lockdowns, they won’t be effective in Florida.
Good.

To be clear he lied about vaccine mandates

To be clear, you've contracted the boot-licker variant

Two weeks to flatten the curve lol. Yet here we are 2 years later still jumping through hoops. The gov't is NOT our friend.
— Stranger-Danger (@DeeLish2000) November 30, 2021
Here comes the media to "clarify" what Biden meant to say.
— Jack Baez (@NotreDameFan27) November 30, 2021
Any president who’d make Americans choose between vaccination and employment is certainly leaving himself wiggle room for future lockdowns.
