Eric Schmitt (r) [2022 file photo}.

Yesterday evening:

Eric Schmitt
[September 5, 2023]
No vaccine mandates. No vaccine passports. No mask mandates. No lockdowns.

Some of the responses:

I didn’t comply last time and won’t this time . If Trump is not on the ballot in 2024 i’ll vote for the constitution party candidate .

Proceed.

No THOUGHTS…No IDEAS…No MESSAGE…No PLANS…No NOTHING….just sitting here in DC sucking up YOUR tax dollars….Senator Eric Schmitt…

There are none of these in place now. But if the need arises again, I will wear a mask and get a vaccine passport if it will save my life or the life of others.

Hope MO schools hear your words loud and clear. Please keep a close eye on them.

What’s he going to do? Issue a harsh statement on social media?

If you actually wanted to be helpful you could petition your GOP senate colleague to stop holding up military promotions and endangering our national security.

There’s that.

Who has implemented any of these at this time? No one has made any laws taking the most precious of Republican commodities away from all citizens of the US, so you can still have your freedom to spread disease, own gas stoves, guns, washing machines and driers, cars, amd ceiling fans, or drink beer till you pass out. In fact, the only things being banned are books in schools. and that is not President Biden. Quit spreading propaganda.

No one knows the exact number. How many died from heart attack or something else and they put down Covid. It’s God’s plan when you die. How many people died from pneumonia?

Has difficulty understanding the concept of excess deaths.

We can blame William Jennings Bryan for that one.

Maybe civilization will be smarter when all these people who can’t spell virus [….] or mutation pass on

Get back to work and do something meaningful

Quit stirring the pot and get back to work. You’re wasting my money

Didn’t comply before, won’t comply if they try the scamdemic again.

No science, no critical thinking & you sure seem to want body autonomy. Let’s have a group of women vote on the control you have. Your rhetoric is so dated.

So Eric did you and your family receive the vaccine last time? Just asking for a friend.

You are spineless. It is so easy to write such words when to date none of these things have been implemented. It is so easy for you to rile up your base. But what is not easy is to take a stand against a first term Senator with no political experience who is holding up at least 250 military promotions. Not only are you and the other cowardly senators affecting the military readiness, you are affecting the lives of the families of these people. So please spare us your Covid outrage. Your inactions show you really do not care

No one is asking for them so how about stop fear mongering.
Causing a problem when there isn’t one

red meat for his followers.

Can you tell me where this is happening in 2023 in Missouri?

Dude. Who the fuxk is talking about any of that shit but your loser ass with nothing better to say but bullshit!
Asshatt.

You better stop the executive orders and bureaucrats who are wanting to control stoves, dishwashers, gas cars and ceiling fans.
Also stop IRS’ building of an army of armed agents.
Also stop the ATF from trying to make every citizen who wants to privately sell a firearm into a criminal.
Also stop the Executive Branch from banning the transport of LPG (propane) on trains.
These people are lunatics, and we want you and Sen. Hawley to stop them from violating Constitutional rights and the Republic
Thanks for listening

Venn Diagram of Right Wingnut Orthodoxy – not complete

I’m going to hold you to your word. If the feds try coming to our state and want to override you, you better not give in! I don’t know who is in charge of your page here, but I hope you tell our AG we will never comply and he better not give in!!

GFY

Eric Schmitt (r) {August 2022 file photo].

Last Wednesday:

Eric Schmitt
[August 23, 2023]
No vaccine mandates. No vaccine passports. No mask mandates. No lockdowns
[….]

Some of the responses:

Fight hard Senator. The good people of MIssouri are standing with you and ready to take on the liberals and their new world order. Good christian people have to RISE UP every now and then to protect our families and our country. MAGA for all

go get your heart attack booster and leave the true americans alone you commie

What has lyin biden done that is good for the country? He is on vacation over 40% of the time and that doesn’t count naps. He has alzheimers and dementia, can’t carry on a conversation, can’t find his way off stages, falls all the time… even up hill on stairs and the list goes on.

More COVID vaccinated US Citizens have died than the number who were not vaccinated.

It’s getting close to election time so Liberals are running scared.

Search “Covid Lab found in central California” The results will scare you.

100 percent could have been prevented if the democrats had not funded and developed it.
Anything to steal an election.

government whistleblowers claim the mask mandates are coming back in september and lockdowns in december dont you watch any news

LoL… the fools are already wearing masks! Look around the 3 blue cities filled with sheep in Missouri. I see people wearing masks in STL and KC already. Look at Commiefornia!

why do you care if someone chooses to wear a mask? How does that even effect you?

Affect.

I live to be given the choice. Not having it forced on any of us with democratic or W.H.O. mandates! If you want to wear a mask around your anus… go ahead. Makes no difference to me. I choose NOT to be vaccinated! I chose NOT to wear a mask. if I am sick, I will stay home! Don’t forget to wash your hands!

I live to be given the choice. Not having it forced on any of us with democratic or W.H.O. mandates! If you want to wear a mask around your anus… go ahead. Makes no difference to me. I choose NOT to be vaccinated! I chose NOT to wear a mask. if I am sick, I will stay home! Don’t forget to wash your hands!

The WEF is planning on putting vaxx in food, and water.For our safety of course.

T mobile required their employees to get it to keep their jobs. Springfield Mo. how about a fine for them

Thank you for fighting the socialist

Social Security and Medicare are exceptions, of course.

Make sure the GOP does not cave to this insanity! I for one refuse to be manipulated again. It’s all an election ploy cause they know they can’t win!!! Stop the TSA they are already implementing masks in Oct!!! Pure BS

You lie! NO facts to back that lie up! It was fauci that asked for 2 weeks to”stop the spread”. And that was a lie!!! That was the last time Trump listened to fraudci! The school teachers union is who wanted more and caused harm to our kids. Kids under 16 had a .0007 chance of serious illness and NO DEATHS to those that were healthy! GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT Karen! NOW Apologize for the lie!!!

So-called “medical experts” are not elected officials with the right or the responsibility to govern.

Think about that one for just a second.

[….] “Love thy neighbor” involves telling the truth…
The truth is, the vaccine has killed and injured thousands of victims and masks do not stop or slow the spread of COVID.

Thank you!!! I hold you to your word!!!!!!! And yes the word going around is FJB is bringing masks back next month starting with airport personnel. 3 ( new variants) have been created oops discovered. Plus it’s election time know what I mean?

[….]
Our liberties and constitution must never be taken away again. They tried once and lied about efficacy of jabs, that masks work but fraudci couldn’t come up with a study or peer review proving they work .. because they don’t!
They made up DISTANCING, which Birx admitted to in her book and said most things done weren’t based on science. Yet they lied. If people actually bend the knee to this garbage, stay at home if you are afraid. Don’t test to see if you are sick. That’s crazy. Tests were faulty also. They ran them with high cycles that picked up past dead viruses.
Buy some IVERMECTIN and live life.

Do what??
If you believe those numbers, maybe you can do the math as hospitals were paid 44k per ccp19 death. If you died in a car accident it was added. So were heart attacks etc. Oh…and no flu deaths showed up like previous years because they threw those deaths in the pile too. Doctors got paid by big PHARMA depending on how many jabs they gave in their private practices. Pfizer hasn’t been making any money so now we have a new virus [….] variants are normally not as potent and ccp19 had a 99.995% survival rate!!!! Who goes to a drive through to get a free donut and jab?? With 99.995% survival rate???
I know they will say this one is so dangerous … and less of a survival rate to ramp up the fear!

Libtards are gearing up to do it again with the “new strain” of covid supposedly “ripping through the country”… Don’t let these bastards pull their stupid shite again .. All they are good for is tearing down the country every chance they get .. these people are a PLAGUE [….]

I didn’t comply before, I’m sure as heck not going to this time. Scamdemic.

That VIRUS was caused by Fauci and the US government! The NIH delivered the virus to the chinese military. Just like the Tuskegee experiment and at least 13 others… Like giving smallpox to the indians! That is OUR corrupt government at work!!!

Vote in 2024. They probably will.

There’s a rake, Eric (r), go ahead and step on it

Yesterday, Eric Schmitt (r) proceeded to do so:

[image cropped]

Eric Schmitt @Eric_Schmitt
The Covid vaccine mandates were stupid.

The Biden Administration fired over 8000 military men and women over it.

Today Secretary Austin admitted he’s doing nothing to get these well trained men and woman back.

This is nuts.
[….]
5:02 PM · Mar 28, 2023

Yes, you are, Eric (r). Stupid and nuts.

Some of the responses:

These people take literally dozens of vaccines in the military – and it was just this one they refused to take – for political reasons.

If a soldier refuses a life-saving vaccine, will he refuse to save a brother in arms? They weren’t fired. They QUIT. I don’t want them back.

This one wasn’t a vaccine, it was an experimental drug that effects your very DNA that was illegally pushed on a captive audience.

They exist, apparently.

It’s what happens when you have an illegitimate regime full of diversity hires

That would be classified as a particularly obvious dog whistle.

For starters dbag, it is essential that military personnel have the ability to follow orders and recognize the chain of command.

The GOP wud weaken our military command by giving every soldier a choice of which rules and commands to obey. Military cannot work that way. Talk abt a Banana Republic. Can you imagine the day when every “who ha” in the U.S. has assault weapons & answers to a militia ldr, perhaps w/ a swastika on his uniform?

Maybe they were extra, you know like the Twitter employees you laughed about.

They were in the military and refused to follow an order. Of course they were fired. They have shown they will not follow orders.

The military is about following orders, they were fired for not following orders. It’s pretty cut and dry.

no, they were fired for refusing to obey a lawful order.

bye, Felicia

They were ordered to get the vaccine. They didn’t follow the order so they deserve what they got. If you had served perhaps you’d understand what following lawful orders means. Instead you’re engaging in political theater to divide people. You’re a disgrace.

Eric, you are still stuck on Covid mandates?? You need to move on to something else that will actually help people, like banning assault type weapons, red flag laws, mandatory background checks for gun purchases. Any actual ideas for HELPING people, not just complaining!!

Your act is getting old

They made the choice to not have one vaccine. Their choice.
I’m fine if they don’t return. Follow guidelines or find a new career. The rest of us operate this way. Pretty simple.

If they cannot follow direct orders in peacetime what happens on the battlefield? They should not be in our military.

Look at Eric grandstanding!

It’s in his nature.

What are you doing about guns?

Don’t hold your breath.

Lost ball in high weeds. [….]

Heh.

You should follow your logic and get rid of TB, malaria, and other vaccines.

Diversity Hire Austin is a disgrace

That would be classified as a particularly obvious dog whistle.

Why would we want them back? It would deteriorate troop cohesion and make us less safe.

The vaccines saved lives, stay in your lane

They failed to comply with a lawful order.

We also know that to have a safe and well prepared military, they receive many vaccines to keep them safe in other parts of the world. COVID vaccines did the same.

Well, they didn’t follow the rules, so…

How many vaccines are the military required to have or get before enlisting @Eric_Schmitt?

What other vaccines should members of the military not take? Get real.

I was in the military , the thought of not taking a vaccine was & is asinine

It’s one of freaking how many shots they got to get. Waaaah waaaah waaaah

How many other military vaccine requirements can be ignored?

Military preparedness is vital to our national security. Our troops receive a whole battery of vaccines to maintain their health and fitness. That’s their duty. If a vocal few can’t take orders then they shouldn’t have volunteered for service.

You don’t fire the military you ridiculous clown. Learn something about the UCMJ genius.

The military mandates dozens of vaccines for personal. Why did they not refuse those vaccines?

What’s nuts is being beholden to right-wing fantasy. We can’t have insubordination in our military.

From the moment that they decide to join the military, they know that they are required to take all available vaccines. They were given a direct order and they defied that order, and they were relieved of duty.

The military already has a ton of other required vaccines. Why should we give a shit about this

The Covid mandates for the military were not stupid. The military has many vaccines requirements. Covid killed millions, and made people sick. The military made the right call. Eric Schmitt you are way out of your league on the medical issue. Sit down and shut up.

My immunization record in the military was three pages long; you obey orders or GTFO. So f$&@ off POS #MAGATerrorisTraitoRacist

Today:

Eric Schmitt @Eric_Schmitt
It’s almost as if all the fear mongering around COVID was just one big power play.
1:36 PM · Mar 12, 2022

Sociopath.

Some of the responses:

Jason Kander @JasonKander
Replying to @Eric_Schmitt
Are you vaccinated? Did you get the booster?
3:24 PM · Mar 12, 2022

It’s as if the claim about fear mongering around COVID is just another example of Schmitt’s stupidity.

950,000 US deaths; 19,500 MO deaths. Many with long haul COVID and our healthcare system almost breaking. No one should worry about that.

What a ghoul!

20k dead constituents could not be reached for comment.

Help me understand this. I’m not supposed to care about something factual, but whatever you’re selling is legit. Just how much is your snake oil and where can I purchase some?

What is wrong with you? [….]

Day drinking and tweeting again Eric? What’s this even about? See this is why you lose so many lawsuits; all accusation, no context.

It’s almost as if all the COVID-denialism (almost 1 million US deaths!) was just one big power play… (as you, for example, run for senate)

It’s hard for me to understand an elected politician being so openly dismissive of nearly a million dead Americans as @Eric_Schmitt seems to be.

Kinda like “build a wall” bullshit right???

My father died of Covid. You are a horrible person.

So the people who died from COVID were just part of a huge fear mongering power play? You are an idiot.

It’s almost as if you’re a #PoliticalHack.

People have tried to explain the science behind the measures to mitigate the impact of the COVID pandemic to you but obviously you cannot comprehend. So now we just have you spewing forth your vomit of lies and misinformation.

Do you LIKE playing the miserable SOB who people loathe with a passion?

Right, f*ck those petty people that buried family and friends.

So, everyone who has died from Covid don’t really exist? Brick shy of a load Schmitt.

You’re an idiot. Millions have died. What a pathetic existence you live.

Tell that to everyone who lost people. Asshole.

Or you’re just an idiot

My god. What the actual fck is wrong with you? Are you seriously so desperate for attention you sit there and make lists of the most vile things you could say? A lot of people died. A lot are suffering long term effects. This is disgusting and your family should feel shame.

How many of your constituents died from it last week, you monstrous shit?

Something, something, duct tape…

Eric Greitens (r) is a candidate for the U.S. Senate.

Campaign supplies.

On Monday:

Eric Greitens @EricGreitens
It’s my honor to lead #ThePeoplesConvoy through Missouri!

No more mask mandates! No more vaccine mandates!

We the People want Freedom!
[….]
6:01 PM · Feb 28, 2022

“…No more mask mandates! No more vaccine mandates!…” So much to be frightened of.

Some of the responses:

How utterly embarrassing when Ukraine is under siege

There’s that.

MO never had state-wide mandates.
This is embarrassing at any time, but esp when men too delicate to wear masks are in the headlines at the same times as grandmas fighting Russian aggression.

What constitutional freedoms are we currently being deprived of?

What about duct tape mandates? [….]

I guess the “emergency” on the Mexican border was on hold today for a joyride where we pretend to be Canadians minus the universal healthcare.

Or, a small number of Canadians pretending to be American right wingnuts, just with universal healthcare.

There aren’t mandates. You are fighting nothing. And if you want to fight real oppression, this isn’t it.

If a face mask is anti-American – what about tying up a beautician?

Pretty sure it’s also absolutely unsafe to film while driving. Clearly, he doesn’t mind MO being one of the only two states where this foolishness won’t get him pulled over and ticketed for reckless, distracted driving. Embarrassing. Pity the camera didn’t fall.

Pretty sure you used to be ok with masks.

You’re probably vaccinated and boosted so hush

Did the hairdresser want her freedom?

This aged poorly.

Anybody tied up in the back seat?

Stay TF away from my daughters.

We all want freedom. Some of us think about others, and not just ourselves, narcissist.

Idiot?

Please don’t let the state line stop you… you should share your unique brand of desperate-psycopath with one of the surrounding 8 states…please?

Any women gagged and bound in your trunk?

Are you the same Eric Greitens who tied up a woman and took sexually explicit photographs of her without her consent? Just checking.

You get indicted for any new crimes lately?

LOL. Americans have moved on from your protests and little convoys. Read the room and try to keep up. Thanks man! [….]

The woman you tied up in your basement wanted freedom, too.

Damn…embarrassing

Do you realize how ridiculous this looks in the face of REAL threats to freedom? Go get a job (not representing me or any human on earth) or disappear back under a rock.

It takes a special kind of stupid to celebrate your freedom to catch a disease and die. Good for you, Potatoe.

Oh yeah let’s remove masks and vaccines that have saved countless lives that’s fuckin smart

Well. Clueless. Wasteful. Whiny. Pathetic.

We are doing well here in Branson Missouri! And if you go to the local hospitals here where are the patients that are deathly ill??? Empty as empty can be!!! I believe you have an agenda for writing your post as well sir and your vote we can do without!! If it’s a deadly virus then we should be properly disposing them instead of wearing the same ones daily lol come on now we all should know how viruses spread and wearing masks is not the answer here and also we wear the same clothing weekly in and out of schools, Walmart, hospitals and wow nothing is being said on how to properly wash our clothes or disposing of our own clothes lol sad people think that wearing a masks and getting the 50th shot is going to stop a deadly virus as the dummies of the white house is stating lol and did you read where biden has exempt his own staff from the vaccine?? Okaaayyy please use what brain cells you all have left and really look at what’s happening!!

We rest our case.

Sigh.

This morning, one can smell the desperation:

Eric Schmitt @Eric_Schmitt
Lockdowns cause harm. Schools should remain open. Cloth masks are ineffective. Many hospitalizations/deaths are with and not from Covid. Vaccines aren’t preventing transmission. All labeled misinformation at one point —all true. #NoMaskMandates #NoLockdowns
7:57 AM · Jan 28, 2022

Make arguments like that in court. I dare you. Dumbass.

There is much hilarity in the responses:

“The researchers found that a cloth face covering reduced emissions in all directions to about two feet compared to the four feet of emissions produced when coughing or speaking with no mask on.”
[….]

So wrong. Lockdowns are overwhelmingly not harmful and effective. Cloth masks work well if all people wear them. You clearly don’t know how vaccines function. You want to get people sick and put them in a position to have to risk death all so you forward your campaign narrative.

Let’s get N95s on everyone. Now.

What is it about having gone to a small teachers college in NEMO and a small Catholic law school that makes you think you know more than 99% of the world’s scientific community- epidemiologists, physicians, and virologists? Leadership means listening.

Want to know what causes harm to children? Having to practice active shooter drills and having to explain to my child why those exist. It’s a sad world when people worry about a thin piece of cloth to prevent spread, but not a gun brought into a school intended to cause harm.

Furthermore, you’re wasting our tax dollars on frivolous lawsuits for your own campaign run. It’s disgusting. BTW, you keep tweeting about lockdowns at school, yet our district hasn’t had one since the beginning of the pandemic.

Please link your sources as you are badly misinformed. Will you hold yourself accountable? Masks work if used properly. Please read the report MO shelved as it didn’t work with your agenda.

On behalf of this citizen of Missouri would you please sue yourself for wasting so much of our money.

Read the details, not just listen to the soundbites. Cloth masks are ineffective as compared with what. No masks? Not true. They’re less effective than surg. & K95s, so folks should choose not to mask at all? That doesn’t make any sense. #EverybodyPitchIn
[….]

Would you like to know what ACTUALLY caused harm to my students this week? An intruder drill. Safe defend sirens went off, students hid, I had to check the defence material. And I had to go over all the “what if” scenarios with 10 year olds. Are you cracking down on guns, too?

Any evidence from respectable sources that accurately show your current opinions?

Curious what you think about at night in the silence of your own thoughts. Do you have any remorse about this power play you are using to get elected? Do you think about how history will look back upon you and your actions and wasting of money?

Your kids are masking at their fancy private schools and you’re not objecting to it. It’s only when *my* kids mask up that you object.

Why not start with sacrificing your own children to your political aspirations instead of everyone else’s?

You are babbling. Get to work.

Do you just figure everyone hates having their kids home as much as you do? I love my kids and I’m loving the fact that they’re here learning, thriving, and safe. Keep up with your nonsense lawsuits. I’ll keep my kids out of physical school as long as you keep them unsafe.

Haven’t locked down since TFG was in office #DipSchmitt

Yes, death is an equal opportunist, it comes for us all eventually. We don’t need to give him an excuse to come sooner.

Vaccines reduce the spread & the data is there. You just disagree w/ facts that don’t fit your narrative; while the facts are just that “FACT” they don’t care about your opinions.

Yes, cloth masks are less effective than surgical masks & those less than N95, it’s a scale!

Since you left your state to yell about a border that isn’t in MO, you are clueless about why schools are closing. It’s because staff are sick and there are no subs. You haven’t stepped foot into a school or hospital to see or talk to anyone working in your dystopia.

His kids are masked up in private school where he doesn’t object at all.

He’s not only lying about his objections, he has no skin in the game either way because his kids aren’t subject to the rules he’s forcing.

So if you don’t believe in the vaccines, why are you and your family vaccinated?

If you are so against masks, why do you not sue your kids’ private school to remove their mandates?

Either you’re a hypocrite or a coward or both. Just more #bullschmitt, #GetVaccinatedNow

Schools aren’t closing due to lockdowns. They’re closing because too many sick kids & staff. Meanwhile, you’re cruising the Rio Grande with a bunch of wack-a-doodles who threatened a butterfly sanctuary, so I have zero patience for your disinformation, opinions, or lawsuits.

You know what else is harmful to children? Attorney Generals that are full blown lunatics that sue every school district in the state to push his political agenda.

You are a crappy attorney general.

Great job, fool. Every death of a child is on you.

There’s no difference from dying of Covid and dying from Covid. The vaccines work and masks work and you’re an idiot

You are evil and will burn in hell for your lies

Vicky Hartzler (r) [2021 file photo].

Today:

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
Rural hospitals are struggling due to the authoritarian vaccine mandate on our frontline heroes.

Nearly 1 in 5 healthcare workers have already quit their jobs during the pandemic. We can’t risk losing more due to these harmful mandates.
[….]
4:21 PM · Jan 27, 2022

Some of the responses:

So says the largest welfare queen in the history of Missouri.

Remember when you voted against sending more relief to hospitals?
[….]

Her voting record further demonstrates her lack of empathy and horrible a value for the constituents she serves.
[….]

One of the largest healthcare providers in Missouri (BJC) had 300 out of 31,000 employees refuse the vaccine.

The vaccine is 90% effective for preventing hospitalization.

Fewer vaccinated healthcare workers = more healthcare workers becoming hospital patients.
[….]

Your district lost 7 rural hospitals under your watch?? Seven? [….]

Local arsonist is also the firefighter.

Imagine the mental gymnastics it takes to say that vaccine mandates are hurting our hospitals, not that 96% of patients admitted with COVID-19 at Cox in Springfield, MO are unvaccinated. I am sure no different in Boone County. Absolutely unreal, Vicky.

Rural hospitals are hurt more by the lack of Medicaid expansion.

Thanks to YOU!!!

Hey, still waiting for your ACA replacement plan you promised back in 2010.

Eleven years and change if anyone is counting.

Do you understand how any of this works?

No. This has been another edition of short answers to simple questions.

Lol, rural hospitals aren’t struggling from the mandate nearly as much as they are burnout, and a lack of resources. Obamacare’s Medicaid expansion money relieves that financial and resource strain, remind us of how you feel about the Medicaid Expandion and obamacare again?

This healthcare hero thinks vaccine mandates are a great idea for anyone who works in direct patient care and the actual risk is from people like you who work to hamstring the medical safety net and public health response at every turn.

Maybe you should tell the vaccine deniers to do the right thing, then. Get vaccinated.

Our Frontline heros are burned out due to risking their lives trying to save lives of those who refuse to Vax and mask. Shame on you @RepHartzler!

Rural hospitals in Missouri are indeed struggling. 95% of deaths are among the unvaccinated. The best way to help is vaccinate and mask. You could also help by supporting them with additional funding.

How many times did you vote against helping them and how much PPP did you pocket?

Goddamn, you turn my stomach

Rural hospitals are struggling in Missouri because your party refused to expand medicaid and is still trying to find ways to block funding.

Are you stupid or purposely lying to your supporters?

Yes.

You need to take a hard look in the mirror and then sit down about rural hospitals in Missouri. You are a HUGE part of the problem they are struggling.

You took $480,000 in PPP money to line your pockets. Give it to these rural hospitals that you ‘care’ do much about.

There is a Trumper friend of mine in MERCY Hospital here in St. Louis. He listened to FOX NEWS and the MO AG. He is about to die because his POS wife insisted he not get vaxxed.
Please come to his funeral & explain why their dad is expendable for political gain. You can burn…

Your source is Rand Paul? He’s a charlatan who couldn’t hack it in the real Medical Profession. Take a seat.

This wins for most ignorant tweet of the day…no competition….nearly 4,000 Americans died yesterday from Covid.

This is your legacy…too many needless Covid deaths.

I’m a surgeon working in a rural hospital in Missouri.

This is an absolute lie. We are struggling because we cannot keep up with onslaught of COVID cases – mostly from unvaccinated people – many of whom chose to believe the disinformation put out by you your ilk.

You’re a liar.

Another prime example of the bald-face lies told by our Missouri representatives and officials. She knows she voted against every initiative to assist rural hospitals, and with her fellow Republicans was successful in slashing funding. But yet she blames vaccine mandates.

Excuse me lady. You voted against every measure to assist rural hospitals. Every single one. Rand Paul is not a real doctor. Rural hospitals are struggling because republicans have under funded them for years. #GOPHypocrisy

Think maybe it has more to do with you voting against aid for those hospitals? As for why they’re quitting…that might have something to do with the constant flow of unvaccinated idiots going to the hospital? Try being less of a hack and more of a helper.

They’re struggling because people are getting admitted to hospitals with an illness a couple of shots would prevent. They struggle because of your actions and inactions. You are a disgrace

You realize you voted against support for those hospitals. You are a hypocrite and should be ashamed of yourself.

There you go.
