CBS’s Failed Hit On DeSantis Ends Up Highlighting Newsom’s ‘No Bid’ Vaccine Contract To Blue Shield…

Many Americans are now just starting to learn of Newsom’s deal with Blue Shield after “60 Minutes” aired a hit job against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis over a partnership he made with grocery chain Publix to distribute vaccines in Palm Beach County. Hilariously, the hit job ended up backfiring and now all eyes are on Newsom for doing that which “60 Minutes” falsely accused DeSantis of doing.

We now know that Newsom gave Blue Shield a $15 million no bid contract after the “nonprofit” healthcare corporation donated some $23 million to the infamous governor’s campaigns and special causes over the years.

From the Daily Caller:

Blue Shield reportedly contributed almost $23 million to the Democratic governor’s campaigns and special causes throughout the years, according to Fierce Healthcare.

“Newsom, elected governor in 2018, in turn has rewarded Blue Shield and its executives with positions of power during the coronavirus pandemic, which has claimed nearly 56,000 Californians’ lives.”

Newsom didn’t just pair with a company that has backed him for years. He also tapped Blue Shield CEO Paul Markovich “to help steer the state’s COVID testing strategy,” according to Fierce Healthcare, which noted that the efforts have “faltered.”
