Missouri Governor Mike Parson, first governor to ever speak at a Right to Life rally, pulls the trigger and gets to kill the first prisoner during the covid pandemic

Pro Life only protects the unborn. Once you’re out of the womb and breathing oxygen you are on your own. Then it is up to you to find bootstraps to pull yourself up.

I have nothing but contempt for the whole state of Missouri. St. Louis is the worst place I've ever been, and I've been to West Lafeyette, Indiana.

you'd almost think that the christians aren't really pro-life..?

That is bold. Indiana really sucks.

Serious? West Lafayette is a joke. I mean Purdue is a great school but ugh. I can't see how St. Louis is worse.

When I was in St. Louis, it was the middle of August. Hell on earth. Also, fuck the Cardinals.

Man you've been on a roll lately. Good stuff.

At the request of Gov. Mike Parson, the Missouri Department of Health conducted an analysis of COVID-19 infections and deaths in those cities and counties that implemented mask mandates compared to the rest of the state. As The Missouri Independent reports, the results of that analysis were clear: During every part of the pandemic, mask mandates worked to reduce rates of infections and prevent deaths.

The department then sent an email to Parson’s office reporting that the mandates worked, complete with a pair of graphs showing the results of their analysis. From of April through October, areas with mask mandates averaged 15.8 cases per day for every 100,000 residents. Those areas without a mask mandate had 21.7 cases per day over the same period. The difference in the rate of deaths is even more stark. Deaths in areas without mask mandates occurred at a rate three times higher than in those areas with masks.

The difference between the results is consistent over the course of the entire pandemic, through both peaks and valleys of infection in the state. The mask-gap is there before vaccines become available, after vaccines become available, and right through the period in which delta becomes dominant. At the very end of the study period, mandates are saving lives more effectively than ever, with a death rate in masked areas that’s literally fifteen times lower than in unmasked areas.

So naturally, Parsons did what any good Republican governor would do when confronted with information that could save thousands of lives in his state—he buried it.
