The news of Governor Henry McMaster reappointing Dr. Edward Simmer as the Director of the South Carolina Public Health Department has understandably angered countless South Carolinians following Simmer’s failed career as the head of DHEC during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. To fully comprehend Simmer’s mistakes as the Director of DHEC, I reviewed all of DHEC’s board meetings from 2021 and boiled down the main clips so you don’t have to.
As the Health Director of South Carolina during the pandemic, Simmer spearheaded all vaccination efforts of adults and children, required masks for kids in school against the legislature’s efforts to block unconstitutional mask mandates, lied and contradicted himself on the vaccine’s effectiveness, and created several incentives to get citizens vaccinated without providing fully informed consent (just to name a few.) Dr. Simmer consistently and constantly pushed the agenda and recommendations of the CDC, and in some cases took the CDC’s recommendations to the next level.

They closed the PUBLIC beach entrance points in North Myrtle Beach during the lockdown by having the cops put up yellow Police tape all over. Of course SC being what it is (except for electing Haley and Linda…), the tape was ripped down daily. Bureaucratic dipshits.
South Carolina is an oligarchy of multinational corporations. What the likes of BMW, Boeing, and Volvo want, the state government delivers.
Some new MAGA people in the SC GOP legislature would sure go a long way in fixing that problem, imho.
An obvious solution, but with open primaries where Democrats can help nominate GOP candidates, true conservatives have little chance of unseating an incumbent. Closed primaries have to come about before any RINO hunting can be successful.
