Nothing in archives at Daily Sun. I found this from the online news;
"On the day when Gov. Ron DeSantis staged a press event in The Villages that saw five residents with strong ties to the Developer and local government get COVID-19 vaccines, the number of new cases of the deadly virus in the local community made another huge jump.
DeSantis made a return visit to The Villages for a press conference at UF Health The Villages Hospital to promise that elderly residents across the state will soon be getting COVID-19 vaccinations. He said a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advisory committee had over the weekend recommended that younger essential workers get placed ahead of elderly Floridians in the vaccine line – something he won’t stand for in the Sunshine State.
“Let me just be very, very clear. Our vaccines are going to be targeted for our elderly population,” he promised. “As we get into the general community, the vaccines are going to be targeted where the risk is the greatest, and that is in our elderly population, we are not going to put young healthy workers ahead of our elderly vulnerable population.”
DeSantis then stood by as the five Villagers and some UF Health employees received the vaccinations. The local residents with ties to The Villages Developer who were inoculated included:
Steve Printz, who voters recently ousted from the Sumter County Commission;
Diane Spencer, a director on the North Sumter County Utility Dependent District Board;
Peter Moeller, chairman of the Project Wide Advisory Committee and a Community Development District 6 supervisor;
Rich Cole, a Republican Party leader and head of The Villages Amputee Support group; and
Doug Tharp, who serves on the Village Center Community Development District Board of Supervisors and is a former president of The Villages Homeowners Association.
Meanwhile, two more local residents lost their battle with COVID-19 – one from Sumter County and the other from Marion County. They were among the 839 fatalities in the tri-county area, the 21,052 deaths in Florida and the 321,698 across the country."
And Pennbf. This really supports I think what you were trying to say. However, I don't look at these people as being anything but readily available and do not begrudge them or anyone the vaccine. Did you hear me write, that I think this proves you were right? I think? I happen to be kinda likin' those people, although I don't know any of them personally, but I have no quarrel with them Pennbf.
