Retiring Guy's Digest: GET ME REWRITE: Guess who introduced anti-vaxxer 2021 Senate Bill 366 in the Wisconsin legislature?

This clown-show, major-league COVIDIOT!

Meet Andre Jacque

Wisconsin Public Radio, 1/12/2022

Some of the bills go beyond business. Senate Bill 336, for example, would prohibit schools and universities from "discriminating against a student on the basis of the student's vaccination status." That same bill would prevent state agencies from discriminating on account of a person's vaccination status.

In an interview with WPR’s "The Morning Show," Jacque said Monday his recovery has gone well, but he's still working to regain his strength through physical therapy.
When asked whether his experience with the disease changed his views on how the state should be battling the pandemic or approaching public health, Jacque said he did not want to comment on COVID-19. But he said he has some "insights" from his time in the hospital.

Jacque, 40, fell ill in mid-August with COVID-19 induced pneumonia and was placed on a ventilator on Aug. 23, which requires sedation. Tompach said Jacque will need time to recover from the ordeal through respiratory and occupational therapy. He did not say whether he still needed assistance breathing.

Before testing positive for the virus, Jacque authored and supported legislation to end the statewide face mask mandate before vaccines were available and to ban vaccine requirements.

His hospitalization came days after he testified in at least two public hearings in the Wisconsin State Capitol without a mask. Legislative leaders did not reach out to hearing attendees to notify them of a possible exposure to COVID-19. [emphasis added]

Despicable behavior.

No sympathy for this reckless, smug, and overweening legislator who has worked overtime to trash the Wisconsin Idea ever since he was first elected to the Assembly in 2010. And since the start of the pandemic, he has fought against the implementation of any public health and safety measures. He is a most despicable person, an embarrassment to the State of Wisconsin.

Excerpts: One of the Legislature's most active lawmakers who has opposed mask and vaccine mandates was hospitalized after testing positive for COVID-19.

Jacque testified before two committee hearings in the Wisconsin State Capitol last Wednesday. He spoke without a mask during at least one of the hearings, which was packed and where not everyone was wearing face coverings.

In recent months, Jacque has been one of most outspoken lawmakers against COVID-19 vaccine mandates and has authored legislation that would bar government officials or business owners from requiring Wisconsinites be vaccinated against COVID-19 or show proof of vaccination to access services.

Jacque also opposed the statewide mask mandate implemented by Gov. Tony Evers and joined legislation to end it.
