New Jersey Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy has performed exceedingly well during the COVID19 pandemic. By which we mean, of course, he’s been at the front at the pack when it comes to presiding over deaths, particularly in nursing homes and long-term care facilities.
You’d think a guy with that record would shift to a more science-based approach to navigating what remains of the pandemic, but nope:
NJ’s @GovMurphy defends ignoring science on masks/continuing to penalize New Jerseyans who disobey his Covid edicts.

Welp.
"we know [indoor mask mandates] were hugely helpful"
Do we Phil? Where are the"data points" on that one?— Travis (@TPum01) May 17, 2021
The claims that:
– NJ was the 1st state with a mandate
– Masks work to save lives
– NJ has the highest death rate, nationallyseem incongruent. Which one isn't true? (Hint: the one without any data to support it)

So, he is telling everyone the vaccine doesn’t work. Don’t bother getting one.

How many lives would it save if New Jersey elected a governor who actually knew what he (or she) was doing?
“If it saves just one life…” 🙄

Ah, the old “if it saves one life,” trick.

Anyone who utters the phrase "If it saves one life" should be immediately disqualified from public policy discussions.

"If it saves one life" is the new "think of the *children*" and anyone who uses it as justification for flying in the face of both science and basic humane treatment of people should be instantly discredited. https://t.co/Me7nEGLhl9
