Gretchen Whitmer was considered a rising star, but her COVID response has been terrible since the beginning

by Zachary Faria - December 09, 2021 04:25 PM

 

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer was hailed as a rising star at the start of the pandemic, so much so that her name was thrown around as a potential running mate for Joe Biden.  But her praise was never warranted, and that is made all the more apparent by Michigan's failed response.  [...]

It is very interesting that Whitmer has been largely silent on the latest surge in MI.  There is no talk of shut-downs, masking mandates, etc.  The big Universities (MSU and UofM) just finished a standard college football season with largely full unmasked attendees (masks were required in the concourse areas).  The Whitmer apologist claim that she no longer has dictatorial powers since the MI Supreme Court, and then the People and Legislature struck down the 1945 law, but there are still laws on the books where she can issue emergency orders that simply have to be reviewed with the Legislature every thirty days or so.  The only explanation as to Whitmer's silence and absence during this latest surge is here upcoming re-election challenge coming up in November 2022.

Or maybe she just figures that if someone is not smart enough to mask up, social distance,  vaccinate and test when appropriate after all of the data that is out there, no mandate is going to change those peoples behavior.

Yeah, I am sure that is it.  She is so much smarter than the hoi polloi  here in the back woods of MI. Now I would like to say she is following the science that shows mandates, and forced shut-downs really do nothing to stem a seasonal surge, but I doubt that is it either.

I go with this.

I love the way you think.  You should post more often.  Let's talk about the accuracy of PCR tests.  Do you agree with them?
