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

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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.
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.

Hello,
I would like to report local schools for not allowing children to attend when they are healthy. They let kids with outrageous behavior issues be in class. How is a child with a runny nose a threat?
All kids are going to get colds it just isn’t possible to avoid.
Then they want a drs. not for them after they display symptoms! If this virus is so bad why would I take my healthy kid to a place crawling with infected snowflakes. I’m not going to force my child to take a fake test with fake results purely to prove that they are good enough to sit in a school more concerned with learning than with having freedom!
If I give my kid allergy eyedrops, cough drops to help an itchy throat, lower temp with Tylenol and give them tissues to take with them the should be allowed in the class!
Let them be kids. Enjoy hugging friends again! Sharing snacks should not be against the law. How will kids ever find a way to be nice decent adults if they aren’t allowed to share or interact with friends?!
They allow blind kids in. I know they can t fix being blind but they let them carry pointy sticks all day! What if that hit my kid?! No one at the school takes real danger into account! They don’t even make them prove they are really blind! Somehow other kids are forced to prove they are germ free at all times?!
We’re not making this up. The author is either a brilliant satirist or the dumbest human being on the planet.

Subject: Kansas City Private Schools!
Hello, Mr. Schmitt,
Thank you so much for fighting for our kids and these mask mandates. I am writing concerning two private schools in Kansas City. While I realize these are private institutions, I am hoping for some assistance. I’ve also researched and noted that both educational institutions have received Covid funding.
1. Our daughter attends Notre Dame de Sion High School. The following protocols are still in place:
A. Masks: Their masking protocol is the vaccinated are mask-optional (with proof of vax), while the unvaccinated are still required to wear a mask.
B. If exposed to a positive case, unvaccinated individually will quarantine, as per Sion protocols. Vaccinated individuals will be asked to mask for 14 days after exposure.
Meanwhile, many private schools within Jackson County are mask-free: Rockurst High School, St. Teresa’s High School, Summit Christian Academy, and St. Michael’s Academy. There is little or no transparency about who is actually part of Sion’s ‘Covid Committee.’ It is my understanding there are not any tuition-paying parents on this board. When asked to attend these meetings and express concern, parents have been turned away.
2. Our son attends Avila University. The last update is from November 2021, as stated on their school website. “Masks are still required for everyone inside a campus building regardless of vaccination status If you are not vaccinated, we strongly encourage you to get vaccinated and continue wearing a mask inside campus buildings.”
Our son has been belittled by professors for not wearing his mask properly. Another professor told him he needed a ‘CDC approved mask’ in front of the entire class. By law, these students are considered ‘adults’ but being treated like children by faculty. As an adult, he would like the freedom to breathe air, communicate with classroom peers and participate in collegiate athletics (weight room, specifically) without having to wear a mask. The administration is failing to realize these college students are together off-campus mask-less. (For instance, the athletes work parking at the home Chiefs games and are not required to wear a mask while being together all day.)
Thank you so much for fighting for freedom for our kids. We are extremely grateful for you and your efforts in blocking this tyranny. Keep up the good work!

Subject: Proud Parent Concerns
Dear Atty Gen Ofc:
Parent of a child in St, Louis County Afton School District. I am concerned that the Attorney General of Missouri has decided to deputize parents to whine about masks in schools. If the republicans are looking for smaller government intervention, then we need to allow the districts to make their own voted board decisions on the topic and most of them have already voted to have mask mandates and protocols in the safety of the community of children, staff and teachers as a matter of fact… The court in this case, did not prohibit elected school boards, county commissions, or city councils from enacting rules to stop the spread of infectious diseases.
STOP PROSECUTING MASKS. They are masks. As a representative of the public ineterst, I implore you to review if this push is in response to public safety or personal liberty. Because if it is personal liberty, you are in the wrong, public safety should always come first. Pit our children first for once.
Sincerly,
Proud parent [….]

Subject: Mask mandate
Sir,
My high school son struggled mightily with online learning last year; his grades tanked, all his goals for the school year dashed, and he became very depressed and isolated.
The assurance that our district mandates masksin our schools made it possible for him to return to school and meet all of his goals while feeling safer in the classroom. Masks mitigate the risk for students, parents, siblings and grandmothers and students are far safer than without.
This is not a political issue, a right or left issue. Masks demonstrate that we care for ourselves and others and that our decisions make an impact on other people’s lives. Please stop feeding the false narrative about masks, it is a waste time and tax dollars.
Sincerely,
[….]

Please stop trying to force your misguided agenda on the State of Missouri and the citizens who actually care about other people, not just themselves.

I am a concerned parent of a pre-K and a third grader. Teachers at my kids’ schools seem to have a very low morale and keep being asked to do more and more to educate our kids and make up for lost learning during the pandemic. I definitely think we should keep mask mandates in place, maybe make a vaccine mandate, and give teachers more money.

My children have been negatively affected from this especially since they have disabilities that prevent them from understanding what is being said to them due to facial cues and expressions. They have been disciplined for not having their nose covered at all times. Other kids would snap their mask on their face and many other issues from wearing these masks. The school also excludes a child that has no symptoms but was within the 6ft of a positive child.

I am very disturbed by what your office is doing. Asking parents to report their schools so you can harass them is over the top. I have 2 kids in elementary school and last night saw screenshots of a parent from our school harassing our principal over masks a purposely sending their kid withouta mask just to create problems. I feel so bad for the principal, he’s got plenty of other things to worry about. Just today while walking my kids to school I asked a teacher why there was no crossing guard helping the kids this morning, they said because 10 staff members were out so the teacher that usually helps direct traffic/serve as crossing guard had to help somewhere else. There are other issues going on in schools that need attention. An administrator dealing with staff shortages does not need this state sanctioned harassment. We should be supporting our educators. Enough with the political posturing.

Subject: Mark Twain Elementary School/Brentwood, Mo
My daughter is now a 3rd grader at Mark Twain. The mask mandate has taken a Huge toll on her since it’s inception. They even discipline children for not having the mask over their noses when they complain that they can’t breath. This has gotten completely out of control.
Please Help our Children.
$10.00 will get you $20.00 the kid writes better than their parent.
Mark Twain. The irony.

Subject: School Mask Mandates
Hello Mr. Eric Schmitt,
Thank you for protecting our children in schools and allowing the parents to make decisions about whether or not we wish to have our children wear masks to school (or anywhere for that matter).
We have 2 children in schools that are forcing the mask mandates;
St. Catherine Laboure in Sunset Hills, Missouri
Cor Jesu Academy in St. Louis, Missouri
Thank you again for going to bat for the State of Missouri, our families and businesses. It’s along and tough battle and we appreciate you!
Sincerely,
[….]
It’s so cute that they seem to sincerely believe the Attorney General of Missouri is going to go after parochial schools for anything.

Subject: Fox HS masks
Mr. Eric Schmitt,
Fox HS in Arnold, MO is refusing to drop the mask mandate until positive numbers go down. They state they will review this next Thursday, until then our children are required to wear masks. Can anything be done about this? Thanks for your time and all your efforts!!!

“…refusing to drop the mask mandate until positive numbers go down…”
That’s how it’s supposed to work during an epidemic, Einstein.
Less summit schools completely IGNORING ruling, they believe the school board can do whatever they deem appropriate.

Evidently one of their star alumni.
Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt’s (r) anti-mask public school complaint email address: illegalmandates@ago.mo.gov
There are over 8000 pages. This disheartening display of arrogance, self righteousness, willful ignorance, stupidity, entitlement, narcissism, insanity, and sarcasm is breathtaking in its volume.
If Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt (r) was really interested in the COVID-19 mitigation policies of Missouri schools and school districts all he needed to do was to check their online sites or have someone pick up a phone and call them.
But, instead, he instituted a snitch e-mail. For what purpose? Evidentally to fracture the community ties to their local schools and teaching professionals.
“Submit Media with Proper Lighting + Horizontal Orientation”
On Thursday afternoon we received a response from the office of Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt (r) complying with our December 9th RSMo § 610 “Missouri Sunshine Law” request for the contents of the illegalmandates@ago.mo.gov email address set up by the Attorney General to solicit complaints about mask wearing in Missouri public schools.
There are over 8000 pages. One submission with an image:
A complaint submitted to Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt’s (r) anti-mask public school complaint email address: illegalmandates@ago.mo.gov
They didn’t quite follow the submission instructions.
