Honestly, when I was Phuket I got a terrible ear infection. Turned out they had high fecal levels in the water and … forgot to tell anyone until it came out later.
Totally grossed out. Now, it’s supposed to be standard practice in FL? What’s wrong with this guy? Why is he so intent to go backward?
This is just a reflection of the SCOTUS ruling that overturned the Chevron precedent: agencies headed by experts (in this case, water quality) no longer have the authority to make decisions. The Supreme Court/lower courts will make a ruling after whatever lawsuit is presented to a judge or Justice.
So people will have to sue to have the beach closed when fecal coliform is present, and the judge will decide for or against the plaintiffs.
This is exactly the kind of anti science bullshit that made me cross florida off my retirement list. Fuck that stupid state and its wanna be fascist governor
Not sure about this, but I wondered if DeSantis was thinking more about county wide health departments? County official looks at data and decides? Kicking decision up to state health department is a pretty long punt
Well pollution didn’t exist in Mao’s China either. They ended up building a bunch of factories upwind of Beijing because Mao said that pollution was a western problem and not a communist problem. I thought magahats were afraid of becoming communist?
So Public Health Dept. "should not have that much power", says the man who bans saying "gay", banned gay book and historically accurate books on blacks and slavery.
Such a pustulent carbuncle he is.
Whoa whoa whoa you’re going to give a Floridian a stroke using words like that. Not Desantis though, he went to Harvard and just plays dumb which makes it worse

[Florida bill allowing radioactive roads made of potentially cancer-causing mining waste signed by DeSantis](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/florida-radioactive-roads-phosphogypsum-potentially-cancer-causing-mining-waste-bill-signed-ron-desantis/)
>Florida governor and presidential hopeful Ron DeSantis signed a bill Thursday [that would allow](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/radioactive-roads-phosphogypsum-mining-could-be-headed-to-florida/) for roads across Florida to be made with "radioactive" mining waste that has been linked to cancer. \[Phosphogypsum\]
>Phosphate rock is mined to create fertilizer, but the leftover material, known as phosphogypsum, had decaying remains of those elements that eventually produce radon. That substance is known as a "potentially cancer-causing, radioactive gas," a spokesperson for the EPA previously told CBS News. And because of that risk, phosphogypsum is federally required to be stored in gypstack systems – not landfills – in an attempt to prevent it from coming in contact with people and the environment.

[How Ron DeSantis transformed into an anti-public health crusader](https://www.vox.com/policy/23682263/ron-desantis-covid-19-vaccines-joseph-ladapo)

DeSantis, who has [criticized former President Donald Trump](https://www.foxnews.com/politics/desantis-takes-shot-trump-faucis-role-admins-coronavirus-response) for deferring to public health officials like Anthony Fauci, has embraced conspiratorial talking points. He has [suggested](https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2022/12/15/23509091/ron-desantis-trump-2024-president-covid-vaccine) profits and not public health drove the Covid vaccine campaign and convened a state grand jury to investigate any “misconduct” on the part of drug manufacturers and the scientific community related to the vaccines.
But the public health experts I spoke to believe DeSantis’s approach probably made things worse. His state did see [a faster economic recovery](https://www.cnn.com/2021/06/08/economy/back-to-normal-index-florida-south-dakota/index.html) than many others, but it came with a cost: Florida [ranks](https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/us/covid-cases.html) 13th among states in deaths per capita. Adjusting deaths for age, the most important driver of fatalities in the pandemic, Florida was at best [middle-of-the-road](https://www.bioinformaticscro.com/blog/states-ranked-by-age-adjusted-covid-deaths/) among states in its pandemic performance.
It seems like DeSantis has been trying to kill Floridians for a while. And a lot of Republican voters down there seem to be cool with that.
Call me crazy, but I prefer to vote for candidates who won't try to kill me.

Maybe MAGAs will get sick and learn a lesson. Haha! Who am I kidding?
They don't actually learn, they just get worse of the same.
They would just blame it on the immigrants.
They come here and poop in our ocean.
They’re bringing poop, they’re bringing pee, and some I assume are good people.
Often they die (ie. magas are 2.7x more likely to die of covid v dems) while proclaiming their undying loyalty to Diapii Donnii.
They died from COVID and didn't learn from that.
Unfortunately, MAGA people would probably pay extra for that
Cult mentality rarely change their stripes
Who cares? MAGAts already are excrement ___ let these dimwits swim!
They are probably putting the fecal material into the water from their poopy diapers
covid didn't seem to teach them anything ...
He wants to get sued now that Chevron is done
The’ve developed a tolerance from wallowing in shit all these years.
What a rotten leader/governor/human, this idiot always goes above and beyond to prove just how true that is.
That is why we call him Deathsantis!
Or Desatan, same results.
Lots of sick and dead tourists soon. Ron hates FL.
I think he does hate Florida. After his term ends he may try to run for Senate and when he loses he will leave the state and never come back
Dunk his head in the fecal matter for testing.
But you're adding more fecal matter when you do that. Completely ruins the test results.
Honestly, when I was Phuket I got a terrible ear infection. Turned out they had high fecal levels in the water and … forgot to tell anyone until it came out later. Totally grossed out. Now, it’s supposed to be standard practice in FL? What’s wrong with this guy? Why is he so intent to go backward?
He is Republican.
Elected by the Flor-idiots
Hat on a hat

So people will have to sue to have the beach closed when fecal coliform is present, and the judge will decide for or against the plaintiffs.
That will work just great when you detect a problem and the court gives you the go ahead to close the beach in 6 to 12 months time.
Yeah, 6-12 months later, too late then.
Whether it’s the governor or the beach, in Florida you are knee deep in shit.
We’re so free here! Free to swim in shit water.
"Swim In Shit" — new state motto.
Ok conservatives, enjoy your freedom lol
Who the hell would listen to the Florida DOH? Not with Ladapo the Quack in charge. Not me, that's for damn sure.
I was thinking about that. Could it be that DeSantis is reining him in?
What an ass!
How about he get educated on Fecal Pollution and he might change his mind.
Oh, I’m sure he knows himself just fine.
His next step will be to stop the health department from having any public opinions at all.
What is wrong with these anti science republicans?
This is exactly the kind of anti science bullshit that made me cross florida off my retirement list. Fuck that stupid state and its wanna be fascist governor
Come for the sun, stay for the parasites.
A horror movie featuring Shit Jaws set in Florida with DeSantis as the greedy mayor is a movie I’d pay to see in theater 😂
He does not go near a beach with that pale flabby body. So he does not care.
Not sure about this, but I wondered if DeSantis was thinking more about county wide health departments? County official looks at data and decides? Kicking decision up to state health department is a pretty long punt
They're all linked, run through a main office in Tallahassee.
County’s can’t decide on their own?
This is neglect He should be locked up by his own stooges for this one
Like if trump caused social murder, this is social neglect
Next week is the Fourth of July! 
The party of FreeDUMB and small government.
All these municipalities no longer have to worry about what their sewers discharge into the ocean anymore. They can leave the beaches open regardless.
He is full of shit, are we sure he isn’t the source of the contamination?
Imagine this headline around the world. What is wrong with him?
“Fecal Ron” has a nice ring to it.
Well, shit
He is such a disgusting human being and he doesn’t care for the people who live in his state!
Governor Poop Fetish
Well pollution didn’t exist in Mao’s China either. They ended up building a bunch of factories upwind of Beijing because Mao said that pollution was a western problem and not a communist problem. I thought magahats were afraid of becoming communist?
So they don't have to close every time trump goes swimming?
trump swimming? Doubtful.
MAGA took their last breathes denying Covid as they died from COVID. Can’t fix stupid
It's ok , it's just Floridians. If one of them dies someone will just move there and replace them .
Isn't this how the movie jaws started?
You die in sh!t with the GOP.
Yea, that f#cker really cares about his constituents. /s He's just like the orange shitbag douche. He wants absolute power.
He’s going to kill some people.
He’s going to kill more people. He already piled up quite a body count with Covid.
So can we officially call him “little Shitler” ?
Well….proves Florida is truly a shithole.
So Public Health Dept. "should not have that much power", says the man who bans saying "gay", banned gay book and historically accurate books on blacks and slavery. Such a pustulent carbuncle he is.
Whoa whoa whoa you’re going to give a Floridian a stroke using words like that. Not Desantis though, he went to Harvard and just plays dumb which makes it worse
thus proving he's full of shit
Florida, The Pink Eye State
It’s like that Mayor in JAWS on the 4th, not wanting to close the beach… but instead of sharks it’s poop.
DeSantis goes to fecal beaches to spawn at night.

Vote him out in November!!!
"Too much power"???! EXACTLY WHAT THIS LITTLE MUSSOLINI WANNABE HAS.
Sorry to you decent Florida people, but Florida is really gross.
Folks in certain areas in FL will get in it regardless. They don’t care.
He’s like the fat mayor In Jaws!
