Sounds, to my newbie ear, like a strawman.
Two, in fact.
First, I saw no post on this thread that said Publix was paid by the state.
If it was contained in a post, I missed it. Can it be shown?
Then "there was no pay to play".
Because the state didn't pay the $40?
Ah poster, let's think that one through together, OK?
If the state moved a significant share of their federal allocation over to Publix, and then Medicare or some other insuring entity paid Publix $40 per injection, well then, Publix got , in your words, they got to "play".
And make a buck doing it.
The legitimate skepticism directed at the Governor by many newspaper's and news outlets in Florida, is the question of: Did what Publix 'paid' to the DiSantis/GOP machine......get them the DiSantis contract and the federal vaccine allocation that had been going to the counties?
And too, even with my firm bi-partisan perspective, my avatar did take note of Ron DiSantis' hyper-defensiveness when pressed by the CBS correspondent. What's up with that?
