Abdul El-Sayed, The New Republic: "The evidence is clear. Vaccines have saved and continue to save lives. A new study from the Commonwealth Fund and Yale University (one of DeSantis’s two Ivy League alma maters, by the way) showed that two years since the first vaccines went in arms, they have kept nearly 20 million Americans out of the hospital and saved 3.2 million American lives. That means that any effort to prevent people from getting these life-saving vaccines—particularly from the platform DeSantis holds—has cost lives."
