Original Note:
The claim that DeSantis didn’t start his criticism of Anthony Fauci until 2021 is incorrect. Eg, DeSantis in 2020: https://twitter.com/govrondesantis/status/1256214452363460610 There was widespread acknowledgement and media coverage of DeSantis’ refusal to follow Fauci in 2020: https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/07/11/gov-desantis-rejects-dr-faucis-criticism-there-was-really-no-justification-to-not-move-forward/ https://www.sun-sentinel.com/2020/12/18/desantis-mostly-ignored-white-house-task-force-covid-19-reports-belittled-its-advice/ https://www.newsweek.com/florida-governor-responds-faucis-remark-about-state-reopening-too-soon-says-theres-no-1517140
