Kool-Aid is hazardous to our public health system

 
Headline:  Des Moines Register, 10/23/2023

As politicians continue their attacks on COVID-19 mandates and vaccines, fueling public resentment over pandemic-era policies, state health experts are retooling their message to try to sway skeptical Iowans to get boosted and take precautions as needed. 
In recent months, some local entities across the U.S. have taken on scattered efforts, such as mask requirements, to stave off a late-summer wave of new coronavirus infections. 
But they have become a popular punching bag for several Republican presidential hopefuls campaigning in Iowa, who have renewed attacks against strategies used to combat the coronavirus, such as masking and shutdowns. 
Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds has joined the growing chorus and slammed the door on a return to pandemic mitigation strategies in Iowa such as shutdowns and mandatory vaccinations, vowing in an August statement: "Not on my watch."
What else would you expect from this Kool-Aid guzzling clown?
