Florida Senator Rick Scott released a statement Thursday condemning the alleged mismanagement of coronavirus vaccine doses at an upscale nursing home.
On Wednesday, the state had launched an investigation into MorseLife Health system following reports that it administered the vaccines to wealthy donors and members of a country club, along with its residents and employees. It is absolutely disgusting and immoral that anyone would take vaccines intended for nursing home residents to distribute them to their friends, Scott said in his statement. This type of gross mismanagement will not be tolerated, and those responsible must be held accountable.
