“We (in Florida) are in favor of vaccine for those that want it, and we are absolutely against mandates (like) the kind of overreach the federal government is trying to impose on our businesses, on our hardworking Floridians that have really stepped up to the plate through the course of this pandemic, and so we're not going to stand for that,” Nunez announced throughout “Eric Bolling: The Balance” Monday. “(Residents approve) as evidenced by the throngs of people that are leaving lockdown states, like California, New York, and Illinois, and they're coming to Florida for that very reason, because of the great work our governor has done protecting their liberties, because of the great work that the governor has done making sure our businesses could be open so our kids could be in school.

“This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated, and it’s caused by the fact that despite America having an unprecedented and successful vaccination program, despite the fact that for almost five months free vaccines have been available in 80,000 different locations, we still have nearly 80 million Americans who have failed to get the shot,” Biden announced on Sept. 9. “To make matters worse, there are elected officials actively working to undermine the fight against COVID-19. Instead of encouraging people to get vaccinated and mask up, they’re ordering mobile morgues for the unvaccinated dying from COVID in their communities. This is totally unacceptable.”
