A county health department in Michigan is threatening to throw parents in jail if their child was believed to have been exposed to Covid-19.
In a letter to parents, the Allegan County Health Director tells parents they’re “required to cooperate” with the agency, or be taken to court following allegations they exposed their child to Covid-19.
“The Allegan County Health Department has become aware that your son/daughter is a close contact to a COVID-19 positive individual and has determined that he/she is a ‘carrier’ as defined by Michigan Law,” the letter publicized by State Rep. Steve Johnson (R) stated.
“You are hereby notified that you are required to cooperate with the Allegan County Health Department in efforts to prevent or control the transmission of this serious disease or infection.”
The letter continues: “If you fail to take the actions prescribed in this warning notice, the Allegan County Health Deaprtment shall petition the circuit court to seek an order to compel your compliance, which may result in you being taken into protective custody to protect the public’s health.”
Responding to the “reckless and tyrannical” order, Rep. Johnson called on Allegan County to fire its health director.
“Allegan’s County Commission needs to step up and fire this reckless and tyrannical health director for threatening to take away people’s kids for possibly coming in close contact with someone who had COVID,” Johnson wrote on Facebook. “This absolutely should not be happening in Allegan County.”
Responding to allegations that the county is attempting to take children away from parents, a county spokesperson claimed the letter is merely intended to inform parents they’re required to quarantine if infected.
We’ve received inquiries about our Quarantine Letter, with claims that ACHD is trying to take children away from their parents. These quarantine letters have been issued to individuals identified as close contacts since the start of the pandemic to ensure individuals are aware that they are required to quarantine. Many people need this quarantine documentation for work or school. Our letter also includes education for what to look for as far as symptoms, ensuring basic needs are being met and who to call based on what an individual or family needs. These quarantine letters are part of the standard procedure for stopping the spread of any infectious disease.
In 2020-2021 school year, there were 3,671 school age children that were quarantined for a known COVID-19 exposure and were sent a quarantine letter. 0 individuals have been petitioned and 0 individuals were taken into custody. Our intent for isolation and quarantine letters is to mitigate transmission of COVID-19.
Isolation and Quarantine are both proven mitigation strategies used to mitigate transmission of COVID-19.
As intended.
but only for the unindoctrinated... right?
The ‘people’ running that county are too stupid to read the stats which prove these jabs o not stop infection or prevent transmission of the virus and its ‘variants’. Such stupid peope should not be elected to run a county.
I listened to NPR for a while this morning, and some young soul was telling how his parents changed his school because the old school lifted the mask mandate, and he didn’t want to spend half his time quarantined every time another student got sick.
Did they white out the swastika?
The correct response to this kind of bullying and tyranny is found in section .308 of the Michigan common code.
National Propaganda Radio, why?
Slaves have three choices:
—Obey their masters
—Organize and fight
—Run
sub section .556-.40
I think it’s also in the ,280 and .243 section, too.
30-06 applies as well.
For the same reason Jefferson had a Quran.

My first thought would be to run. Get the H*ll out of Dodge!
Has this become Michiganistan? Such a beautiful state; I have family in Detroit. What a loss.

I admit that I do listen to NPR in the car on occasion just to keep tabs on the Ministry of Propaganda narrative as I do not take in any of their other broadcasts.
Small doses, though.
And I never believe it as the person I was responding to seemed to.
Are you British?
Paragraph 12, section G, subsection A.
If vaccinated, the parents can be giving COVID to their children. Also, a friend (vaccinated) was diagnosed with COVID yesterday. This is all about creating chaos. . .for out of chaos comes more power for those already in charge behind the scenes.
