Stitt's Main Covid guy is a Veterinarian! [View all]
Recent revelations of the Oklahoma Office of Fiscal Transparency have called even more attention to Governor Stitt's mismanagement of all things Covid19. As quoted in the Tulsa World: "Data provided by the state was either lacking in substance, withheld, misaligned or never developed for public consumption, the report said." Last week local health agencies were critical of recent moves by the Governor's team to make data even less transparent
Whether trying to return $2 Million worth of malaria medication (hydroxychloroquine) touted by Trump, refusing a mask mandate, the power grab from local health departments--these serious missteps cost lives.
Perhaps the Governor has been poorly advised adding to his ego driven mistakes. How many people know that the State Epidemiologist advising the Governor is not a medical doctor, medical statistician, or doctorate level epidemiologist? I'm sure that Jared Taylor DMV is a fine veterinarian, and I do love animals, but the proof is in the ongoing high death rates he is unqualified for his position.
Governor Stitt likes to claim he is leading the way back to normalcy, that his calls were the right ones for all concerned. He neglects to say that his decisions resulted in a death toll more than twice that of a similarly sized state (Oregon) that took mitigation efforts more seriously.
The "don't worry, be happy" and "trust me, I know better than the medical experts" of our Governor is wearing thin.
