Evidence (2024-09-27): Sen. Rick Scott (R) faces a major test in the home stretch of his race for reelection, as Florida’s constitutional amendment on abortion puts the issue front and center in what appears to be an increasingly close race against former Democratic Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, who has been slamming him over his unabashedly anti-abortion position. As other Republicans scramble, stumble and largely avoid publicly saying how they will vote on ballot measures to protect abortion access, Scott has been clear that he will vote against Florida’s, making himself an outlier among GOP Senate candidates. [...] In her first general election ad, Mucarsel-Powell described Scott’s abortion position as taking away the freedoms she and her family sought when they immigrated from Ecuador.

Rick Scott (R-Fla.) says he would support replacing Florida’s six-week state abortion ban with a 15-week statewide ban that he believes would reflect broader consensus within the Sunshine State over how to protect unborn life. [...] Scott says he’s not in any way backing away from his support for restricting abortion but wants to put the focus of the Senate campaign debate on Democrats who he claimed favor allowing abortions until shortly before birth. Abortions are rarely performed in the third trimester.

Evidence (2024-04-08): Scott has said he would have signed the six-week bill had it come across his desk when he was governor. The state Democratic party said in a Thursday news release that Scott’s support for the measure "could cost him his Senate seat." [...] "Anna Paulina Luna’s enthusiastic support for a near total abortion ban and her obsessive opposition to exceptions for rape put her grossly out of touch with Tampa Bay voters," Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee spokesperson Lauryn Fanguen said. "Women will soon be living in the archaic nightmare with no access to abortion that Luna has so fervently argued for." [...] Rubio’s office did not respond to questions about his stance on the six-week bill. However, a spokesperson referred a reporter to a strategy memo that Rubio’s office distributed in January outlining what he described as a winning political plan for the anti-abortion movement.

Evidence (2021-01-27): I hope all my colleagues join me in protecting life and pass this legislation quickly." – Senator Rick Scott "It is unthinkable that we are killing babies who are so far advanced that it is possible for them to survive outside their mothers. This legislation would ban abortions 20 weeks into pregnancy – a point at which science has clearly demonstrated that the unborn child is able to feel pain." – Senator John Thune [...] - In the case of the exceptions – - the abortion may only proceed in a manner that provides the best opportunity for the unborn child to survive unless that would pose a greater risk of death or serious bodily injury to the pregnant woman; and - the abortion provider must receive informed consent from the pregnant woman, certifying that she has been provided the child’s gestational age, a description of the law, and her rights under the law.

Evidence (2024-04-15): U.S. Sen. Rick Scott’s position on abortion continues to get scrutiny as he runs for a second term, with the former Governor distancing himself on the record from a law Gov. Ron DeSantis signed in 2023. [...] Scott, running for his second term in the U.S. Senate, has found the abortion issue to be an inconvenient running mate on the November ballot thus far, even after saying, per The Washington Post, that he would "vote against a November ballot initiative in Florida that would overturn the state’s new ban." [...] "Rick Scott knows EXACTLY what’s at stake this election and what’s going to happen when the nearly 70% of Floridians who support protecting abortion access show up to hold him accountable for backing Florida’s near-total abortion ban – that’s why he’s resorted to blatantly lying. But no amount of lies will make Florida voters forget that Scott proudly said he would have signed this abortion ban himself and has promised to keep it in place come November," asserted the Debbie Mucarsel-Powell campaign.

Evidence (2024-03-05): EMILYs List Poll: Scott Deeply Unpopular, Voters Repelled By Abortion Bans [...] - "Rick Scott thinks that politicians like him should be able to dictate what women can and can’t do with their bodies. He supports an extreme abortion ban in Florida that bans abortion before most women even realize they are pregnant and does not include exceptions for rape or incest, and supports a nationwide ban on abortion. He even cosponsored a bill that would send doctors who perform abortions to jail." 56% of voters say this makes them less likely to vote for Scott, while only 14% say it makes them more likely to vote for him. - "In the wake of Roe v. Wade being overturned, Republicans nationwide are enacting more and more restrictions on when and how families can have children, like the recent banning of in-vitro fertilization treatment in Alabama, which many parents who are struggling to get pregnant use to have a child. With Republicans like Rick Scott in control, there will likely be more of these extreme bans, including a national ban on abortion." 55% of voters say this makes them less likely to vote for Scott, while only 15% say it makes them more likely to vote for him.

Evidence (2022-10-19): - An ad from FF PAC claims that if you vote for Oz, "he’ll let politicians take away the right to choose, with no exceptions." Oz opposes abortion, but has consistently said he supports exceptions for rape, incest and to save the life of the mother. Oz also says he opposes a national abortion ban, and that such decisions should be left up to states. [...] But Scott said he didn’t want to end those programs, and he doesn’t know any Republican legislators who do. There is also no indication that Congress would take away either program "with no replacement," as the FF PAC ad says. [...] Again, Oz’s position is that he opposes abortion, but he supports exceptions in cases of rape, incest or to save the life of the mother. And he does not support a push by some Republicans to enact a federal abortion ban after 15 weeks of pregnancy, saying he thinks that’s a decision states should make individually.

Evidence (2024-05-10): Mucarsel-Powell has made reproductive rights a key focus of her campaign against Sen. Rick Scott, a powerful Republican who holds ambitions to lead the GOP in the Senate. Mucarsel-Powell is the first Latina to run statewide in Florida in a decade, and in a state where 1 in every 5 voters is Latinx, her success depends on her ability to stem GOP gains with that group here in South Florida. [...] Roxanna Hernandez, 60, immigrated from the Dominican Republic, which has a total abortion ban with no exceptions. Hernandez said the restrictions and cultural stigma have created a hostile environment around the procedure, even in medical emergencies. In 2020, 16 percent of eligible voters in Florida were immigrants, a share that’s much higher in South Florida and will likely be higher ahead of the November elections. [...] Scott has said he would sign a six-week abortion ban into law if he were governor again but also said recently he would support replacing the current state ban with a 15-week restriction. Scott previously supported a national ban, but a spokesman told Axios recently that he does not. He also will not support the state’s constitutional amendment on abortion, which will need some Republican backing to reach 60 percent support.

Evidence (2022-09-14): Sen. Rick Scott of Florida said he plans to review the legislation, but declined to say if he’d back it, or if he supports the general idea of banning abortions nationwide after 15 weeks. "My position is there are to be reasonable restrictions and there’ll be exceptions for rape, incest and the life of the mother," Scott said. Graham’s abortion bill would allow exceptions for rape, incest, or the life or health of the pregnant patient, though not if the diagnosis includes "psychological or emotional conditions."

Evidence (2021-01-28): "There is no clearer indication that America is in moral crisis than to understand that babies in the womb feel pain as early as 20 weeks old, yet are still allowed to be victims of gruesome abortion procedures that end their lives in agonizing fashion. Science and medical technology increasingly affirm this truth. It is past time for us to protect these innocent, vulnerable lives and spare them from that fate. I'm thankful my colleagues are standing together in support of this legislation that promotes the value and dignity of every human being." [...] Sen. Rick Scott said: [...] - In the case of the exceptions - - the abortion may only proceed in a manner that provides the best opportunity for the unborn child to survive unless that would pose a greater risk of death or serious bodily injury to the pregnant woman; and - the abortion provider must receive informed consent from the pregnant woman, certifying that she has been provided the child's gestational age, a description of the law, and her rights under the law.

Scott’s stance on abortion rights – Democrats slammed the former Florida Governor’s record on abortion and responded to a recent interview where he indicated that, if he were still in the position, he would have approved the six-week abortion ban that will soon take effect. [...] Univision Orlando: Restricciones Más Estrictas Al Aborto Entrarán en Vigor el 1 de mayo – Esta mañana, varios grupos y líderes políticos que rechazan la medida criticaron la posición del Senador Rick Scott.

Evidence (2022-10-02): Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., the chairman of Senate Republicans’ campaign fundraising arm, said Sunday that he supports "reasonable" abortion restrictions and that "there's arguments to do it at the federal level." [...] Asked whether the proposal by Graham, R-S.C., complicated Republican efforts to win the Senate this fall, Scott implied that abortion rights is a hot-button issue pushed by Democrats. "Democrats have talked a lot about that this year. So every candidate has been talking about what their position is on abortion," Scott said. "So I think it’s important that people tell people what their position is, and it’s being done state by state all across the country."

Evidence (2022-05-25): Many Senate Republicans aren’t singing the tune of Herschel Walker — instead saying they do support exceptions to an abortion ban that include rape, incest and the life of the mother. [...] "Most of the people I talk to believe there ought to be reasonable restrictions and reasonable exceptions," said Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), chair of Senate Republicans’ campaign arm. "But every candidate’s going to decide where they are." [...] Still, Republican support for certain abortion exceptions is of little comfort to Democrats and abortion rights proponents who — at the very least — want to see Roe v. Wade codified. With the exception of Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), the GOP conference opposes that idea.

Evidence (2024-08-28): Republican Sen. Rick Scott softens his abortion position after Florida Supreme Court ruling WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Sen. Rick Scott of Florida this week joined the ranks of Republican incumbents scrambling to strike a balance on reproductive rights, saying he opposes a November ballot initiative to strike down his state’s six-week abortion ban but thinks Congress should leave those decisions to the states. [...] "The fight against these new restrictions on access to abortion will shine a brighter spotlight on Rick Scott’s long, dangerous record of supporting draconian abortion bans," said Maeve Coyle, the DSCC’s spokesperson. "In November, Florida voters will stand up for women’s freedom to make their most personal medical decisions by rejecting this abortion ban and firing Rick Scott from the Senate."

Evidence (2022-10-08): Sen. Rick Scott of Florida will travel to Georgia on Tuesday to support GOP Senate nominee Herschel Walker, whose campaign has been reeling following reports Walker asked a woman to terminate two pregnancies. The move by Scott highlights how critical the race in Georgia is with a 50-50 split in the US Senate. Scott is chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, the Senate Republican campaign arm. [...] Walker, who said in May he supports a full ban on abortions, with no exceptions, has denied the earlier report from The Daily Beast, calling the allegation a "flat-out lie."

Debbie Mucarsel-Powell criticized Scott's views on abortion within four seconds of announcing her Senate campaign against him in a promotional video. [...] Scott told The Hill earlier this month that he would prefer to see a 15-week ban in Florida with exceptions for "rape, incest and to protect the life of the mother."
Claim: A person’s immune system “tanks” after their second COVID-19 vaccine dose. (YouTube video, 2021-09-28)
Evidence (2021-09-28): Multiple medical experts said the blood test results featured in the video to support this claim didn’t come close to showing an immune system that has crashed. This wasn’t observed in the COVID-19 vaccine trials where blood counts were obtained, experts said.
Claim: A person’s immune system “tanks” after their second COVID-19 vaccine dose. (YouTube video, 2021-09-28)
Evidence (2021-03-09): Both of these vaccines require two doses. It’s after receiving your second dose that your immunity to the virus fully kicks in. You may be wondering how long after the second dose you have full immunity. [...] Pfizer-BioNTechThe Pfizer-BioNTech clinical trial evaluated vaccine effectiveness 1 week after participants had gotten their second dose. Researchers found that the vaccine was 95 percent effective at preventing COVID-19 at this point. [...] All COVID-19 vaccines have only been around for a very short amount of time. Because of this, it’s not known exactly how long immunity lasts after being vaccinated. This is true for both one-dose and two-dose vaccines.
Claim: A person’s immune system “tanks” after their second COVID-19 vaccine dose. (YouTube video, 2021-09-28)
Evidence (2021-08-24): A national study has found that a significant proportion of clinically at-risk patients with certain immunocompromised or immunosuppressed conditions, mount a low, or undetectable, immune response after two doses of the same COVID-19 vaccine. The ongoing multi-centre OCTAVE study is evaluating the immune responses following COVID-19 vaccination in patients with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases such as cancer, inflammatory arthritis, diseases of the kidney or liver, or patients who are having a stem cell transplant. Initial data from the study have been published on the Lancet pre-print site. [...] The study used a variety of state-of-the-art immune tests performed on blood samples taken before and/or after COVID-19 vaccination in around 600 people recruited across the UK. OCTAVE's early data show that 40% of people in the patient groups studied mounted a low serological immune response after two SARS-CoV-2 vaccines.
Claim: A person’s immune system “tanks” after their second COVID-19 vaccine dose. (YouTube video, 2021-09-28)
Evidence (2022-03-15): At a Glance - Researchers showed that B cells evolve after COVID-19 vaccination to help improve protection against SARS-CoV-2 over time. [...] Vaccines are the best way to protect yourself against COVID-19. They elicit a strong defense against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes the disease. Vaccines activate your body’s disease defense system, called the immune system. The response starts by engaging two kinds of immune cells: B cells, which produce antibodies that fight off the virus, and T cells, which destroy infected cells. [...] The B cells in the blood peaked one week after the second vaccine dose and then quickly disappeared. In contrast, the B cells in the lymph nodes persisted for six months, during which they significantly changed. The antibodies made by these cells became better at binding to and neutralizing the virus. The B cells in bone marrow samples taken six months after the second vaccine dose were similarly improved, suggesting that they were derived from the lymph node B cells.
Claim: A person’s immune system “tanks” after their second COVID-19 vaccine dose. (YouTube video, 2021-09-28)
Evidence (2021-04-19): If someone gets a headache or feels a bit under the weather after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine, it’s become common to hear them say something like "Oh, it just means my immune system is really working hard." On the flip side, when people don’t notice any side effects, they sometimes worry the shot isn’t doing its job or their immune system isn’t reacting at all. [...] It varies from person to person, but how dramatic the initial response is does not necessarily relate to the long-term response. In the case of the two mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, well over 90% of people immunized developed the protective adaptive immune response while fewer than 50% developed any side effects, and most were mild. [...] In studies where neither recipients nor researchers knew which individuals were getting the mRNA vaccine or a placebo, approximately half of people aged 16 to 55 who received a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine developed a headache after the second dose. This reaction may relate to the vaccine – but a quarter of people who received just a placebo also developed a headache. So in the case of very common symptoms, it can be quite difficult to attribute them to the vaccine with any certainty.
Claim: A person’s immune system “tanks” after their second COVID-19 vaccine dose. (YouTube video, 2021-09-28)
Evidence (2022-09-01): We compared dynamics of the immune response after the third dose (administered ≥5 months after the second dose) with those after the second dose. We included 3972 HCWs who received the third dose and had at least 1 serological test 7 to 140 days after the third dose of vaccine; the number of participants who had tests at different times during the study is presented in Figure 1A. Results after the third dose were compared with those among a cohort of 4868 of the same HCWs who had serology testing after the second dose previously described.9 Serology samples were collected between January 21, 2021, and December 29, 2021.
