  • An image shared on Facebook allegedly shows a Chinese restaurant sign saying F*** DeSantis and offering a discount for customers with proof of vaccination. Facebook/Screenshot Verdict: False The sign, which is fake, comes from a sign generator website that allows users to customize the name of the Chinese restaurant and its message. Fact Check Starting Sept. 16, Florida will fine businesses, schools and government agencies $5,000 if they ask visitors to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination, the Associated Press reported. Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in May had signed a law banning them from requiring such documentation and enabling the state’s health department to impose fines on those who violate the prohibition, according to The Hill . Amid the news of the fines, a picture allegedly showing a profane sign from a Chinese restaurant called Phoenix Koi started circulating on social media. The purported sign reads, Lunch: $150 (Get 95% Off With Vacc. Card!) F*** DeSantis. (RELATED: Did Ron Desantis Pose For A Photo Holding Up This Anti-Mask Shirt?) Various iterations of the picture of the Chinese restaurant sign have circulated on the internet since at least 2008 with text expressing different sentiments, a reverse image search shows. The sign sporting the message about DeSantis and vaccination cards is not authentic. That sign appears to have been created using a Chinese restaurant sign generator website . The generator allows users to pick the name of the Chinese restaurant and write up to four lines of text. One instance of the F*** DeSantis sign has garnered over 127,000 views on the image-sharing website Imgur. As of Sept. 9, about 54 percent of Florida’s population has been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, according to data published by The New York Times . (en)
