From [HERE] Governor Ron DeSantis was in Destin Thursday morning signing his "Prescribe Freedom" legislation.

The bills permanently ban vaccine and mask mandates in Florida.

That includes government offices, schools and workplaces.

They also protect physicians who offer treatments other than those recommended by federal agencies.

"These restrictions and these mandates, the purpose of them was not to safeguard your health. The purpose was to control your behavior," DeSantis said.

The legislation also bans vaccine passports, gain of function research, and formally rejects world health organization recommendations in Florida.
