Marc Elrich, County Executive of Montgomery County, Maryland — one of the most vaccinated counties in America with 95% of those over age 65 and 93% of those over age 5 fully vaccinated — is warning of future school closures if booster numbers don’t increase.

So, he’s holding kids hostage?

*And* he’s doing this KNOWING how much harm it causes:
This guy is threatening to close the schools again. After all we know about the harms of school closures, it’s hard to believe. All MoCo voters who love children need to rid us of this scourge. https://t.co/e4oLuK6apK
