The Governor and public welfare
New Hampshire residents should question Governor Ayotte’s understanding of, and concern for, public welfare.
Compare the governor’s enthusiasm for the Northern Border Alliance to protect us from people crossing the Canadian border with her lack of enthusiasm for using all available resources to protect public health.
The Northern Border Alliance, using hundreds of police patrols and costing more than a million dollars, protected us by making a grand total of 47 arrests over its one-and-a-half years of operation.
By contrast, how will the Governor protect us from diseases, including COVID, when U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kennedy mischaracterizes long-established vaccines as dangerous and denies COVID vaccines to healthy children and pregnant women?
The Governor has refused to join the other New England states in a bipartisan coalition coordinating recommendations for the COVID vaccine and other vaccines, and intends to rely exclusively on the recommendations of a single expert, the state epidemiologist.
Do readers believe her rationale that she “doesn’t want to politicize health care”?
