Youngkin names advisory team to help with COVID-19 management; its leader is critical of most vaccine mandates
Richmond Times Dispatch ^ | 1/11/22 | Mel Leonor

Posted on 01/11/2022 1:03:27 PM PST by TexasGurl24

Gov.-elect Glenn Youngkin on Tuesday created an advisory group to help guide the state's response to COVID-19 amid a record surge in cases and hospitalizations fueled by the omicron variant.

Youngkin will be sworn into office on Saturday and quickly assume responsibility for the state's public health care system, which is under strain due to the ongoing pandemic.

Youngkin's new "Medical Advisory Group" will include several hospital leaders, physicians and public health experts. It will be led by Dr. Marty Makary, a surgical oncologist and professor of surgery at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Makary is critical of vaccine mandates, except for health care workers; of "excessive" testing and masking policies at colleges and universities; and, booster shots for teens.

The Virginia vaccine nazi Karen press is flipping out over Youngkin’s pick.

I guess the trailer park crowd will now reverse their stance again?

Now if Youngkin would just reconsider his secretary of education nominee I think we could get back on the right track.

How ghastly. Perhaps Youngkin will get the rioting ANTIFA-BLM treatment that was developed to deal with President Trump.

Strangely, I have a friend that got bone cancer (and a clot) from the jab.

What's ghastly about it?

Perhaps Youngkin will get the rioting ANTIFA-BLM treatment that was developed to deal with President Trump.

What utter nonsense.

Get back to us when the new “leader” is critical of ALL vax mandates. Either you is or you ain’t. Can’t be partially preggers. Can’t be partially vaxxed and partially UNvaxxed. And, you can’t get UNvaxxed once your in. You will henceforth be “GMO”.

:-}

...”Makary is critical of vaccine mandates, except for health care workers;....” not sure how to take this item....mandatory jabs for healthcare workers is one of the two issues before the SCOTUS, I believe...Harmeet Dhillon said last night that the SCOTUS probably WILL decide that that particular mandate is constitutional....but the other issue before the SCOTUS may get their “thumbs down”..will see.....

"the SCOTUS probably WILL decide that that particular mandate is constitutional"

Only on the basis that most hospitals receive Federal Dollars.

I hope they realize that there will be a massive shortage in hospital staffing as a result.

I also hope they if the hospital mandate is upheld, there will be an appeal, and significant follow-up litigation.

...point well made.....I read earlier in the day here on FreeRub that some hospital system in MN or WI...?..just fired about 700 of its employees who refused the jab(s)....good luck if you get sick in their service area and need medical attention...

The home of the Mayo Clinic is in Rochester, MN. It has 35,000 employees. 5000 doctors.

More than twice those numbers nation wide.

Youngkin’s intention to let local governments make their own call. Arlington is not Shenandoah is not Richmond is not Hampton Roads. And the vax/mask Karens are up in armsn. Funny thing, the new policy is really not all different from the previous one. Its why people from MD and DC come to VA for fun and to get a break.

Dr. Marty Makary is an excellent choice! One of the few sane voices on Covid.

He was a guest on Bari Weiss' outstanding podcast Honestly making it IMHO her best show ever. It was both illuminating and infuriating as he details everything we're doing wrong in regards to Covid.

Portions of the podcast have been transcribed here:

Lose the Mask. Eat the Turkey. And Other Sane Advice For This Thanksgiving.

Governor-elect Glenn Youngkin knocks this one out of the park!

Virginia is a Dillon Rule jurisdiction. Localities can’t do ANYTHING that the General Assembly doesn’t give them the power to do.

The Governor has zero authority there. The authority flows from the General Assembly.

The trailer park crowd can’t figure why that’s important.
