Eric Schmitt @Eric_Schmitt
The citizens of St. Louis and St. Louis County are not subjects — they are free people. As their Attorney General I’ll be filing suit Monday to stop this insanity. #covid

Some of the responses:
You’ve gone a couple of days without losing in court, do you need a fix?
My kids can’t get vaccinated. We need to either get more people vaccinated, or do what is necessary to protect everyone from the spread among the unvaccinated. Do not take legal action against St. Louis City and County doing what needs to be done.
Setting yourself up for another loss in court?
I’m one of those people and I’d like to know how many times you’ve promoted vaccination. Looking back through July tweets….that would be a big ZERO times. As a doctor who works inpatient, I suggest you drop the politics and do something useful.
You are completely out of touch with the seriousness of COVID-19 and the Delta variant. Individuals choosing not to be vaccinated are a problem as yourself, and Missouri Republicans who are against mask mandates or other issues for the greater good of our communities and state.
Are you going to sign the lawsuit this time or find a totally different embarrassing way to lose?
We’re not your grandstanding springboard either. Leave us alone. #STL
Read the room, dude.
Ohohoh… Scary Eric is gonna sue!!! It will end like the rest of them
Is it not the most important role of government to protect its citizens from harm? Why would you choose to take a political and legal position that ignores the health and welfare of your fellow citizens?
There is NO FREEDOM to Drink and Drive Drunk…There is no TYRANNY IN PEOPLE BEING REQUIRED TO wash their hands after they use the bathroom when working in food production services. That’s just accepted as common sense. This idea that Masks…”don’t work” as a SCIENCE, is quickly and easily set aside or dismissed when the opposite is shown to be more accurate as well as OTHER SCIENCE SHOWING VACCINATED PEOPLE aren’t getting sick. Picking and choosing what Science to use in support of their ILLOGICAL ARGUMENTS, makes their signs of “the science proves masks don’t work, as disingenuous at best.
