Anti-Vax Nutbags Flood Missouri City Council Meeting

The Springfield News-Leader reports:

Despite a packed and rowdy crowd opposed to the measure, the Springfield city council Monday night passed a nonbinding resolution encouraging vaccination against COVID-19.

Many in the crowd wore shirts in support of Romine, reading “ROMINE: voice of the people.” A smaller group of about 15 wore a bright yellow, felt star on their chest, which one speaker said was a way to compare the city’s vaccination campaign to the holocaust and extermination of more than six million Jews by the Nazi regime.

Swane Loftus, I believe, is next. He says President Trump talked about hydroxychloroquine, says Fauci lied about the drug. Says hydroxi is “highly effective” for COVID.
