Ron DeSantis on Thursday touted his handling of the Covid-19 pandemic, saying that his willingness to buck the advice of federal health officials in some of the darkest days of the outbreak prevented his state from becoming a \u201cFaucian dystopia.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFlorida, we played an important role over the last three years,\u201d DeSantis said at an event in Winter Haven, Fla. marking the three-year anniversary of the pandemic\u2019s onset.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr1_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cI think we were one of the first states to see the experts were getting it wrong and we resolved to charge a different course,\u201d he continued. \u201cWe are not going to let this state descend into a Faucian dystopia, not on our watch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis\u2019s remarks amounted to something of a victory lap for the Florida governor, who\u2019s preparing for a likely 2024 presidential bid. While he\u2019s repeatedly brushed off questions about a White House run, he\u2019s widely expected to make a final decision late this spring.<\/p>\n<p>While he ordered a statewide lockdown shortly after the onset of the pandemic in 2020, he eventually carved out a national reputation as a fierce critic of many of the Covid-related restrictions pushed by federal health officials like Anthony Fauci, the former head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Speaking alongside state Surgeon <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">General<\/a> Joseph Ladapo on Thursday, DeSantis rehashed his long-running beef with the federal response to the outbreak, proclaiming that the \u201cexperts that designed\u201d many of the pandemic-era policies \u2013 school and business closures, mask mandates and the like \u2013 \u201cwere wrong about almost everything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To be sure, Florida was hit particularly hard by the pandemic. Johns Hopkins University estimates that the state has seen more than 7.5 million cases of Covid-19 and nearly 87,000 deaths since the outbreak began.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Yet DeSantis\u2019s laissez-faire response to the outbreak has been one of his most defining policy moves of his time in the governor\u2019s mansion, endearing him to conservatives nationwide and catapulting him to the top-tier of current or prospective Republican presidential candidates.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Ladapo, a DeSantis <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ointee who has questioned the safety of mRNA Covid-19 vaccines, also offered praise for DeSantis\u2019s handling of the pandemic, saying that the governor made \u201cthe right decision\u201d even when he faced criticism from federal officials and public health experts for his response.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reality is that Florida and Gov. DeSantis\u2019s leadership and the decisions he made for this state, the direction he went, was absolutely correct,\u201d Ladapo said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Media<\/a> Inc.
