Over the past year, Florida and other Republican-led states have resisted federal measures to curb the COVID pandemic due to concerns over infringing on individual freedoms.
Governor Ron DeSantis and Florida lawmakers have recently pushed back against what DeSantis has called "heavy-handed" COVID mandates, passing legislation to prohibit private employers from requiring vaccines and schools from requiring masks.
George Papadopoulos, a former advisor to President Donald Trump and a conservative author, this week shared an article stating that Florida, which has resisted measures intended to curb the pandemic, is currently experiencing the lowest per capita COVID case rate in the U.S.
In a tweet liked hundreds of times, Papadopoulos, who has over 800,000 Twitter followers, wrote: "Florida CONTINUES To Thrive Against Covid; Retains Lowest Case [sic] Per Capita In Country."
