Vaccine clinic in whitest and richest Lakewood Ranch sets off fury in Manatee County
Evan Axelbank reports
LAKEWOOD RANCH, Fla. - A special state program to vaccinate certain residents in Manatee County is coming under fire by critics on the county commission who say it smacks of racism and classism. This is bad for all of us, regardless of what district or population we represent because it makes our system look bad, said Manatee County Commissioner Reggie Bellamy.
It started when Lakewood Ranch developer Rex Jenson said that last week, he got a call from Gov. DeSantis. He says the governor asked him to identify two communities to get 3,000 doses of vaccine for a state clinic.
