Gov. Ron DeSantis was in Panama City Beach, Florida on Tuesday where he outlined a plan to permanently ban mandates on the COVID-19 vaccine and masks.
If approved by lawmakers, DeSantis' efforts will permanently restrict the COVID-19 vaccine mandates and mask rules in schools and prevents public and private employers from hiring and firing individuals based on their vaccine status.

"When the world lost its mind, Florida was a refuge of sanity, serving strongly as freedom's linchpin," DeSantis said. "These measures will ensure Florida remains this way and will provide landmark protections for free speech for medical practitioners."
U.S. Rep. Neal Dunn, Florida Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis and Florida's Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo joined DeSantis at the press conference in Florida's panhandle which also featured comments from a number of people who shared their sentiments.
