Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) blasted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) latest guidance for reopening the cruise industry, a major economic driver in the Sunshine State, calling it a “joke” as the agency is only permitting ships to forgo test sailings if nearly all of the crew members and passengers are vaccinated.
“The latest guidance from @CDCgov is a joke but what else did we expect from the Biden Administration?” DeSantis asked. “Vaccine passports infringe on our liberty and don’t keep people safe. Our cruise industry is a major economic driver. Let our ships sail!”:
