I'm straining to understand the accusation against DeSantis even if the reporting is accurate. Publix grocery stores are an existing neighborhood mainstay in Florida. Should this obvious resource have been foregone for appearance's sake because they donated to one of his PACs?
It's a good idea to use the infrastructure you've got, and when that concerns the whole state ... yeah, you're going to be using some organizations with existing political ties to DeSantis and his allies.
One way to make sure the vaccine distribution is absolutely fair and equitable is to put all your effort into making sure nobody gets it. A lot of people seem to have this strategy in mind.
We have all expended far too much energy fretting about who cut in line, who benefited unduly, that would have been better spent just making it way easier for people to get vaccinated. I have no energy remaining to care about stories like this and don't know how anyone does.
There is a big overlap in the Venn diagram of people angry at knuckledraggers who won't get vaccinated and people deeply invested in whiffing out unfairness and favoritism in vaccine rollouts. Which has actually slowed down the rollout more? I'd bet the latter.
Yuval Levin says that politics is where we decide on our priorities. Assuming that we are a country no longer capable of walking and chewing bubble gum, what do the primary targets of anger in the discourse about the vaccination rollout suggest about what is our top priority?
