Maine lawmaker resigns after wife’s COVID-19 death
WABI-TV (Maine) ^ | 1 December 2021 | WABI-TV (Maine)

A state lawmaker who flouted mask requirements in the Maine State House and fought against pandemic restrictions has resigned from his seat because of his wife’s COVID-19 death.

Republican Rep. Chris Johansen, of Monticello, told House Speaker Ryan Fecteau in a letter this month that he needs to tend to his family farm.

His wife, he wrote, had been dedicated to the farm, freeing him to serve in the Legislature.

He was one of seven lawmakers who was stripped of committee assignments for refusing to wear masks in the State House after leaders required them.

Both he and his wife contracted COVID-19 over the summer, and his wife, who has asthma, died from the disease.

How many years before I’m vested in the site?
Thanks.

Funny , I didn’t know we were all supposed to live forever. But with that being said, how come when people wear a mask and get the vaccine for the fake disease and still die— we don’t get that whole narrative behind it. More than likely she probably died just being treated for something that doesn’t exist, therefore the treatment itself is just pure intrusive

At Walgreens it was “Be Well,” which is so idiotic. Is that a command? It’s not like I have total control over my well-being anyway.

I didn’t read whether either of them were vaccinated in the article, just that he refused to wear a mask and fought back against pandemic restrictions. The article was deliberately vague about their immunization status. Anything to make a point I guess.

We also had “We’re in this together”.
Meaningless faggotry.

I am growing to despise large corporations more than ever.
Woke, government teat sucking spineless entities...

Tragically, mortality is even higher in unvaccinated individuals hospitalized with severe COVID infection. It's becoming more evident with each new set of numbers released since October.

Texas Study (Nov 8th) - Texas Department of State Health Services

They are releasing a lot of these reports right now for those who want to check the numbers on their own.

Here are some additional links with similar breakdowns if anyone needs expanded references. If anyone would like to share their calculations and datasets, please do.

That wouldn’t surprise me, but can you provide a link to that effect?

Thank you for your telling response. I’d suggest that if you want to be listen to, you should treat your peers (I’ve only a few months on you) and your elders with some respect.

I’m not vaxxed, I have huge sympathies for the anti-vaxers and would consider myself anti-vaxxed. AIC and I may or may not see eye-to-eye on this, and that my position is closer to your than AIC’s, but AIC deserves to be heard with respect.

AIC is not a retread. If you ever want to retread you can always go with littleboy6502002

No, but relative old timers ought to be better behaved than they are sometimes. If you go around accusing someone who has been around since 1999 of being someone posting other another moniker there is a chance you may be called out. It’s generally good to check a home page before making such an accusation.

Some civility in the community is a good thing.

If someone accused you of being a retread of Salvation or NYer or Wardaddy (or any one of several dozen freepers I have grown to respect individually over the years) I would assure them that is not the case. That said, I have little doubt that someone making that accusation concerning you would get an earful, and rightfully so, without me bothering to comment.

(“We’re All in this together”)

I just heard that at a truck stop a couple of hours ago. The same voice-guy that tells you to get the va666ine at Walmart.

No joke.

He’s resigning for whatever reason. I note he had been stripped of all committee assignments making his days very long

Sincere thanks for all the work you put into that post. It will be good to have as a reference in the future.

Im anti-vax but let’s process this one. The dude has an asthmatic wife and she is wisely ensconced on a remote farm.

But meanwhile he’s in Augusta which is pretty much the closest thing Maine has to a 3rd-World hotspot other than downtown Portland. And he dont look like he’s missing too many meals, so he’s eating out.

Two guesses who brought home the koof.

And now that’s she’s dead, Now he resigns?! #facepalm

What kind of BS are you spewing? If you’ve really been active for the 16 years you have had an account, you would have no doubt that BerlinFreeper and AmericanInTokyo are not one and the same. In fact you are the one coming off as a sleeper troll.

I don’t give a crap if you or any other scumbag listens or not. You are really dumb. And you’re a defender of the scumbag concern trolls, thus you’re one of them.

A link to what? If she wasn’t vaxxed it would have been in the article.

They tried to imply it because her husband wouldn’t wear a mask.
