The article points out DeSantis's support for skeptics of COVID-19 and reluctance to promote vaccines. However, data indicates that Florida's death rate, adjusted for age, was better than the national average, which some attribute to the state's robust health system. DeSantis also protected nursing home residents from exposure to the virus, contributing to lower mortality earlier in the pandemic. Nevertheless, Florida's overall mortality remained similar to the national average, challenging the notion of COVID-19 policy having significant impact on final outcomes.

Clauser, who is known for his skepticism of mainstream climate change beliefs, previously criticized climate science as "massive shock-journalistic pseudoscience".

Furthermore, he believes that concerns over climate change distract from genuine issues such as global energy crisis and standard of living improvements.
