Here is a bit of local news that illustrates the political nature of the pandemic and shows how the progressive mindset has come to utterly dominate our culture.

Jefferson County, Missouri is an exurban part of the St. Louis area. South of St. Louis, it lies in the foothills of the Ozarks and is populated by "hoosiers" as we call them around here; a "hoosier" is local term for redneck or hillbilly, only it usually applies to urban hillbillies. As St. Louis underwent a population shift the old South Side Hoosiers migrated to Jefferson County and reside there, so now are more rural. The area is poorer than most of the exurbs  and underdeveloped. And there are a lot of true country folk out there.

But many of the hoosiers usually vote Democratic as most were labor union workers. On the other hand it was Trump country too.

Which is what makes this story of interest to me.

Suzy Davis has been a vocal opponent of lockdowns and masking orders and has helped keep Jefferson County from being overrun by the pandemic frenzy oppression.

She sits on the county's board of health and has stopped a number of power grabs by the board.

So now they are censuring her. The reasons are multiple (as is always the case with the Left) including "being aggressive" in meetings and tardiness, but the reality is it is over her stance on Covid.

I caught an exchange between her and another council member last night; he kept accusing her of risking lives for politics (something he and his buddies on the council were in fact doing themselves.)

I do not know much about Davis, but I do know how progressives think, and know she is bitterly opposed to masking and lockdown rules.

Here
is an exchange between board members about implementing a mask mandate.

As I pointed out in a Facebook page devoted to getting her removed, the anti-science people are on their side, not ours. I know of at least 26 peer-reviewed studies that contradict masking, and here is a recent one from Kentucky U.

The argument is always about the public good and never about the rights of the citizen to be free of public coercion.

We are living in an era where people seem to care nothing for their liberty or autonomy. And so many simply believe whatever the media tells them to - or the civil authorities who have a vested interest in increasing their power over the individual.

And of course all of the medical people pushing this are getting their marching orders from Washington and the CDC - and from the Chinese controlled World Health Organization.

Frankly, these bodies have been politicized for this very purpose. We've been lied to more than once over Covid; remember "flatten the curve" and "three week lockdown"? Remember them laughing at claims this was created in a lab? But they are absolutely correct about masking and lockdowns! Yessireee Billy Bob!

The totalitarian mindset has infected the whole stinking country.
