Miami Herald op-ed suggests Florida omicron outbreak occurred because Gov. DeSantis acted 'selfishly'

A Christmas Eve Miami Herald op-ed torched Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, suggesting the omicron variant outbreak of COVID-19 occurred due to his own selfish actions.

"Last lesson of 2021, Florida: Omicron happens when we act selfishly, like Gov. DeSantis," the piece from Miami Herald columnist Fabiola Santiago read.

Santiago suggested that surging infection rates are all due to Floridians "giddily taking risks." Now, the state is seeing a resurgence of hours-long COVID-19 testing lines and an increase in deaths, according to a Miami Herald analysis.

Santiago specifically pointed fingers at the state’s leader, faulting DeSantis for failing to guide Florida with "sensible policies" or appropriate verbal direction for people who "most need to hear an endorsement of science over quackery from him – the politically reticent to the vaccine."

According to Santiago, the governor is "busy peddling treatment over prevention" and continues to spread lies about Dr. Anthony Fauci, who she tags as the nation’s top authority on infectious diseases. But DeSantis’s beef with Fauci, she argued, is all a political distraction from his own agenda.........

What bullsh*t.  There are "outbreaks" all over the place; whose fault is that?
