Watch: Veteran gets vaccine on live TV
Henry Sayler had something to say after getting the COVID-19 vaccine in St. Petersburg. Here s a clip from FOX News Channel.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - A World War II veteran who just celebrated his 100th birthday got his COVID-19 vaccine on live TV Friday. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said at the time Henry Sayler was the one-millionth senior citizen to receive the COVID-19 vaccine in Florida, but later walked his comments back, acknowledging the state was about 200,000 short of the milestone.
During an appearance on the FOX News show FOX & Friends, Gov. Ron DeSantis lauded Henry Sayler’s service moments before the 100-year-old pulled back his sleeve for the shot on live television.
Mr. DeSantis said in an appearance on “Fox & Friends” Friday morning that the soldiers haven’t been treated properly since the riot, after the FBI announced it was vetting Guardsmen for any potential inside threats. During the vetting, multiple National Guard members were removed from duties related to the inauguration of President Biden due to “questionable behavior.”
“These folks are soldiers,” Mr. DeSantis said Friday. “They’ve served our country all around the world, they’ve served our state of Florida after natural disasters, they’re serving right now helping with vaccinating senior citizens, and they’ve been on the frontlines of the COVID fight.
