Psaki: Abbott and DeSantis' politically-motivated vaccine mandate policies will kill people
Fox News
Jen Psaki on Tuesday accused Republican Govs. Greg Abbott of Texas and Ron DeSantis of Florida of “putting politics ahead of public health” by strongly opposing vaccine mandates in those states.
"Over 700,000 American lives have been lost to COVID-19, including more than 56,000 in Florida and over 68,000 in Texas," Psaki added. "Every leader should be focused on supporting efforts to save lives and end the pandemic. Why would you be taking steps that prevent the saving of lives, that make it more difficult to save lives across the country or in any state."
Psaki's remarks came in repose to an executive order issued by Abbott in Texas which bans "any entity" in the state from enforcing a COVID-19 vaccine mandate and DeSantis' announced preparedness to defend workers who are fired from their jobs for not getting COVID-19 vaccines.
