Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signed an executive order Friday prohibiting the use of vaccine passports — a concept embraced by Democrats such as Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) — and said the state legislature is working to make the protections “permanent.”
DeSantis, who has described vaccine passports as a “terrible” and “unacceptable” idea, announced his executive order Friday, which prohibits the use of what he described as “so-called COVID-19 vaccine passports” in the Sunshine State.
“The Legislature is working on making permanent these protections for Floridians and I look forward to signing them into law soon,” he said:
