Florida fines TV station $10K for not letting congressional nominee debate due to vaccine status
"This is happening all across the United States of America," Scotty Moore said. "We need freedom back." | The Florida Department of Health fined a television station in Orlando $10,000 as a late punishment after it refused to let a GOP congressional candidate and staffer participate in a debate due to their COVID-19 vaccine status. 💬 "On September 15, 2022, the Department received evidence demonstrating that on September 8, 2022, WESH-2 prohibited Scotty Moore, candidate for Florida Congressional District 9, from entering the WESH-2 television studio and from taking part in an in-person debate in which WESH-2 had invited Mr. Moore to participate because he denied having received COVID-19 vaccination in his written response to a WESH-2 questionnaire," the department wrote in a letter. (Florida letter .pdf) According to the letter, the WESH-2 television studio violated Florida law Section 381.00316(1) which according to the letter, "expressly prohibits a business entity operating in this state from requiring documentation certifying COVID-19 vaccination or post-infection recovery to gain access to, entry upon, or service from the entity."
