CVS Pharmacy is ignoring the executive order of Republican Governor and Trump ass-kisser Ron DeSantis, by giving COVID vaccinations to teachers of any age as opposed to only those over 50 as DeSantis ordered.
This in accordance with President Biden's Federal guidelines as opposed to state guidelines.
CVS offering coronavirus vaccine to Florida teachers under 50

FLORIDA — The CVS Pharmacy chain is vaccinating Florida teachers under age 50, circumventing state orders that continue to limit coronavirus inoculations to those over that age.
The chain also began vaccinating day care and preschool teachers Wednesday, even though Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has not yet opened the vaccination program to them. CVS is giving inoculations in two dozen cities across the state.
CVS said it is following Biden administration guidelines released this week, which are broader for educators than Florida’s. For teachers, Florida limits the vaccine to classroom teachers 50 and older who work in kindergarten through 12th grade. The federal guidelines allow day care workers, preschool teachers and educators in elementary, middle and high schools to be vaccinated with no age limit.
“We’ve aligned with updated Federal Retail Pharmacy Program guidelines by making appointments available to pre-K through 12 educators and staff and childcare workers in all 17 states where we currently offer COVID-19 vaccines,” the Rhode Island-based company said in a statement.
The chain had been working with DeSantis to expand vaccine availability. Its executives held a press conference with the governor last week when the chain announced its Latino-focused subsidiaries in Miami-Dade County, Navarro Discount Pharmacies and CVS y Mas, would offer the vaccine.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the Federal Retail Pharmacy Program will prioritize all school staff and child care workers this month, following President Joe Biden’s directive on Tuesday. Other pharmacy chains participating in the program in Florida include Publix, Walmart and Walgreens, but it wasn’t clear if they would also start vaccinating younger educators.
The governor’s press office declined to comment on CVS’ decision.
It is unclear if the state approves of CVS not following its current vaccination guidelines or if CVS intended for their system to roll out in this manner.

Good stuff.
If CVS wants to mandate masks it’s their right. It’s also people’s right to take their business elsewhere if they don’t want to don the face diaper. If restaurants want to remain open with a mask mandate they should be *free* to remain open. If customers didn’t want to risk eating there—that’s their right.
But we chose the path of mass enforced conformity at a terrible cost to the economy and affected businesses and lives.
And to what effect? It’s impossible to discern.

You would think a year of this bullshit would have been enough for people but they actually like being afraid

Nobody has the right to put other people at risk for catching a virus that said person might unknowingly be a carrier of.
Masks do not prevent the wearer from catching the virus, but it helps prevent those who are carrying it from spreading it.
The problem is that most conservative types just don't give a fuck about other people.

Is a grandmother sitting in a room with 30-40 kids several of whom may be carriers?
But don't worry about granny, she will get her vaccine real soon also.
If this bothers you then why are you not screaming about the politicians all being First in line to get the vaccine, are they front line workers???

Grandmother can stay safe in her home or facility; the teacher has to make a living. My 33-yo daughter is at high risk of dying from COVID if she gets it from one of her students, or from anyone else. She has MS. If I was offered the choice between me getting the vaccine, or her -- I'd give it to her in a New York minute.
