Time will tell snowflake doomers. From yesterdays Coffee and Covid blog post:
Yesterday, the Governor’s office called me twice to discuss HB 7021. One comment was “there has been an impressive amount of contact from people mentioning your blog.” You guys did SO great. I am so proud of all of you, our vast army of passionate, caffeine-addicted freedom-lovers. It’s working.
The upshot of the calls was that the governor doesn’t seem inclined to veto, fearing that any hospitals that do relax Covid mandates will instantly become litigation targets absent the shield. Maybe. The news from Canada today suggests they might be right. Instead, according to the officials I spoke to, the governor’s office is pursuing a “third way” to solve the problem, through publication of effective treatment protocols superior to the CDC’s remdesivir/ventilator combination. If so, that would be similar to a “third way” approach I drafted as a proposed compromise bill, which would have retained short-term liability protection but ALSO provided patient protections.
Since hospitals only get liability protection when they follow “government published” treatment standards, they are legally locked into the CDC’s deadly remdesivir/ventilator combination. But, if Florida publishes our own treatment standards, and if those standards include things like permission to use off-label drug when doctors think it’s appropriate, then hospitals would have to consider those new “government standards” as well. It could move the needle, depending on how well it’s executed.
One of the things I had added to my draft compromise bill was a requirement that hospitals put their Covid treatment protocols on their websites, so patients can have informed choice. That’s something AHCA could do very quickly. I hope they do it.
Anyway, I was clear on the calls that what we want is hospitals to immediately stop killing people using outdated and ineffective federal treatment protocols. The folks I spoke to seemed to understand. Bottom line, it doesn’t look like a veto is in the cards. So we’ll have to see what those new standards look like, and we need to see them quickly.

Absent of what shield? Why should any of them be afforded any extra legal protection. This makes just following orders "legal". They are trying this with police as well.
We cannot offer blanket immunity for "following orders". This gives even more power to the government to enforce it's own will on the people.
Desantis also failed to offer up known prophylactics in place of up and coming pharmaceutical treatments. It does not matter to me that the monoclonal antibodies might work, it matters to me that the NIH has documents posted to their website from at least 2005 that show other treatments were viable. They allowed the FDA to offer up an EUA to TEST untested treatments which should not have been allowed in the first place as they were only able to get the EUA by suggesting that nothing else might work.
This would further the governments ability to mandate treatments, they have no business in dictating the medical field. Whatever happened to Right to Try?? Oh, right, you have to try all the other available treatments first!
STOP FLUFFING THIS DUDE! He is bad news!
