Steve Nass battles "Delta-variant hysteria" with ban on UW System health "mandates."

Only Vos-Republicans think the smart government thing to do is put vehement opponents of specific issues in charge of managing their eventual destruction. Case in point; Sen. Steve Nass' brutal dismantling of public education.

Here's how Nass describes his latest COVID denial effort endangering the lives of children and their parents: 

"Take back their public schools" from what? The threat of private vouchers schools? No. Nass is responding to, get this, just 20 anti-mask parents and student protesters:

Huge crowd too...actual story snapshot:

Minority Control? How can you argue with the publics anti-science brain dead lunacy like this?

Tami Hajcak spoke against the mask mandate. “The vast majority of students have returned to their unmasked lives. We are no longer in a pandemic.

Jade said, “I’m in 5th grade at the middle school my muscles get tense and they don’t get the oxygen they need. It makes me anxious and I can’t see the smile on people’s face.”

Amanda Roedl: “Our kids learn through emotion. How do you expect our kids learn through emotion with a mask?”

Tzvia Springer explained her background in science and said the science does not support the efficacy of mask wearing. “When my son returns for instruction in fall 2021, he will not be wearing a mask.”

Star Trek's George Takei has their answer:

Fear Mongering Delta Infection Sweeping Country?: Sen. Nass wasn't done yet, passing his latest insane attack on our kids...WKOW: 

Nass believes our "liberal" UW System is... 

"...take advantage of the Delta-variant hysteria to enact excessive COVID-19 mandates."

The senator pointed to public health measures including "newly announced Covid-19 mandates such as requiring healthy unvaccinated students submit to weekly Covid-19 testing, requiring students to submit their Covid-19 vaccination status and pending announcements on mandatory masking," as the reason for his proposal. "Unfortunately, some chancellors in the UW System consider themselves mini-Andrea Palms not beholden to following state law and moving quickly to take advantage of the Delta-variant hysteria to enact excessive COVID-19 mandates."

Nass, stating total nonsense as fact, doesn't like to be challenged in the "control/compliance" department:

How about today's data on the "Delta-variant hysteria"...

WISN in Milwaukee: 

Throughout the United States, all public school districts require a vaccination record prior to enrolling a student. It is interesting that in many Republican-dominated states that reject the notion of requiring its students to be vaccinated against COVID-19, there is no opposition to requiring vaccinations for many other life-threatening diseases such as measles, mumps, rubella etc.

Smarter in 1905? Yes: A challenge is likely at the State Supreme Court level, but after rejecting and describing Gov. Evers efforts to stop the deadly virus as "tyrannical," ya kinda know where this is going. Yet even they can't ignore the federal Supreme Court Ruling in 1905, which we hope may win the day:

There is a Supreme Court precedent allowing any state to “enforce compulsory vaccination laws” regardless of anyone’s claim of individual or religious liberty protections.

In the 1905 Supreme Court case, 197 U.S., Jacobson v. Massachusetts, the High Court upheld the authority of states to enforce compulsory vaccination laws. The Court’s decision articulated the view that individual liberty is not absolute and is subject to the police power of the state.

Recognizing that public health is more important than an individual’s personal liberty, the High Court held that:

“In every well ordered society charged with the duty of conserving the safety of its members the rights of the individual in respect of his liberty may at times, under the pressure of great dangers, be subjected to such restraint, to be enforced by reasonable regulations, as the safety of the general public may demand. Real liberty for all could not exist under the operation of a principle which recognizes the right of each individual person to use his own liberty, whether in respect of his person or his property, regardless of the injury that may be done to others.”

National Movement to UNMASK: It's still hard to imagine "adults" ranting juvenile tantrums like this, since right wing COVID denial is actually prolonging the slow return to schools:

5,643 Deaths and counting, and Vos Republicans never took the COVID-19 Pandemic Seriously! Think about that.

If Scott Walker was governor, herd immunity would be a thing, and the state economy would have plunged into an endless COVID-19 recession, with businesses collapsing everywhere.

Anti-maskers, demanding businesses to reopen, have unknowingly trashed the consumer driven economy by making it unsafe to go out. 

The No Solutions, Do-Nothing Vos-Republican Freeloaders: For 8 years, Walker didn't solve one social problem. Vos-Republicans are sticking to their freeloading ways.

Wait out the pandemic = let the vaccines do all the heavy lifting.  

They always say we should follow CDC recommendations, right? But they don't mean it AT ALL:

More than two dozen Republican lawmakers have signed onto a new resolution that, if taken up and passed by the Senate and Assembly, would immediately cease Evers' extended face mask requirement and the public health emergency declaration that serves as its basis.

Republicans could just Vote to Support Evers' Mask Mandate, Right? They could have also repealed the mandate right before the election, but they weren't that brave: 

Recent Marquette University Law School poll results showed the mask mandate was supported by a majority of Wisconsinites.

While GOP lawmakers had the power to convene at any time to knock it down, they declined to do so in the months leading up to and following the November election.

It's so ridiculous to listen to Republicans whine about Evers not supporting the "integrity of the legislative powers...blah, blah, blah. Pandemic guys! Process is so much more important than peoples lives. 

Proving they don't believe COVID-19 and it's more dangerous mutations... 

Led by Sens. Julian Bradley and Steve Nass, the joint resolution would terminate the public health emergency declaration and subsequent mask order, a step that the language says would "protect the integrity of the legislative powers authorized under the Wisconsin Constitution."

If they believed we were in a COVID-19 pandemic they would support Evers, but...

“The time has come for the Wisconsin Legislature to stand up for civil liberties and put an end to the excessive actions of Governor Evers to control the people of this state with unending Covid-19 emergency declarations," Nass said in a recent statement. "These overreaching mask mandates from @GovEvers must stop," Bradley said this week in a tweet. "I'm ready to vote to end them now."

The gerrymandered-out-of-power Democrats keep telling the truth, even after 5,607 Wisconsinites died horrible lonely deaths thanks to Republican opposition:

Evers spokeswoman Britt Cudaback slammed the resolution, "Republicans haven’t taken COVID-19 seriously from the beginning, and they still aren’t now more than 280 days since they last sent a bill to the governor’s desk," she added.

And the madness continues, pretending this never really happened;

A host of provisions that made their way through the committee process this week, such as two separate bills that would bar health officials, as well as employers, from requiring individuals to receive a COVID-19 vaccination; another to prohibit health officials from closing places of worship to curb the virus; and a final one that would require school board approval to allow virtual instruction.
