@Joe_Zendt @MissingMichiga1 @freep Vaccine mandates have been legal for well over 100 years. The US Supreme Court held that the govt can issue a vaccination requirement when it’s in the interest of public health. Case is Jacobson v. Massachusetts.
@d64miller@Blunted3652@GovWhitmer Number two, a definitively fatal brain infection is absolutely worse than spraying a harmless pesticide to cull mosquitoes. Not every pesticide is the same, because the safe ones can have entirely different chemical structures from the carcinogenic ones and still be pesticides
@d64miller@Blunted3652@GovWhitmer Number one, that is absolutely not how human physiology works. Something that’s toxic to one animal isn’t always toxic to another. Dogs die if they eat chocolate, you can’t die of eating chocolate even in higher amounts. That argument ignores basic scientific concepts
@d64miller@Blunted3652@GovWhitmer Right, because the frost happened 2 weeks later. In those two weeks between the spray and the frost, there were still advisories in place to keep people from staying outside and being exposed to carrier mosquitoes.
@d64miller@Blunted3652@GovWhitmer And yes, we were a few WEEKS from the first frost. The state was issuing advisories to people to stay indoors before the spray because the risk of infection was so high, particularly in Kalamazoo county, and would have been upgraded to an epidemic had they not sprayed.
@d64miller@Blunted3652@GovWhitmer Theres no immunity to encephalitis as it is an infection of the brain. It was alarming considering environmental factors, such as a normal frost, would kill the mosquitoes. The pesticides used by the state were non carcinogenic, they are the same ones approved for organic food.
@hatchet19@GHall45267975@freep Thats like saying that someone only died in a car accident because they drove to work that morning, and that if they hadn’t gone to work the drunk driver wouldn’t have hit them. Yes, its technically true, but like your argument about flint, it ignores the reality of the situation
@ChrisWayneMAGA @CocklesJimmy @MeykaJ@freep@gretchenwhitmer@AP You can keep telling yourself that. At the end of the day, Snyder and the GOP forced the city’s hand in switching to the river water and didn’t use minimal emergency manager funds to treat the water with an anti corrosive agent that would’ve stopped this. They were negligent.

@swimmerterry@foxnewspolitics@FoxNews@brookefoxnews Right but if it was any democrat charged with the same crime you’d be saying the opposite regardless of the circumstances. You’re making excuses for an abhorrent human being just because he’s conservative.
@swimmerterry@foxnewspolitics@FoxNews@brookefoxnews So step aside for a minute and don’t mention obama because that’s irrelevant to the current topic, a Presidential pardon should be used on people who had questionable convictions right? So why would a guy who ADMITTED to campaign finance fraud (corruption) deserve a pardon?
