Gov. Mike
Parson took a strong line the other day about people getting COVID vaccinations
intended for others. He said that health care providers who allowed people to
jump the line for vaccinations would face consequences.
That’s pretty tough talk for a guy whose previous idea of leadership concerning the pandemic was, “If you want to wear the dang mask, wear the dang mask.”
Maybe he’s still riding the wave of anger from being dissed by the Missouri House, which wouldn’t let him give his State of the State address there because of the pandemic; although they had packed the hall the previous day, and weren’t even concerned about masks, they were suddenly alert to possible consequences of letting the governor speak to a crowd there.
Although he took a laissez-faire attitude toward people dying of the virus, this blatant disrespect got the governor pretty riled up.
Nice to know that something gets him moving.
