Despotic Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer Orders Masking Of Two-Year-Olds

They are powerless to stop her…

Power-mad psychopath and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has issued another one of her authoritarian COVID decrees and this time, not even the little children are safe.

Whitmer, a cruel and petty tyrant who has ruled the Wolverine State with an iron fist continues to flout the legislature and courts with her irrational and inhumane edicts, and for anyone that harbors any illusions that Michigan will relax the onerous restrictions had better think again.

In response to a spike in “cases” that would seem to indicate that the lockdowns have failed, Whitmer is now demanding that two-year-old children be subjected to forced masking, something that too many of the young ones’ sheeplike parents will willingly accept.

Via The Detroit News, “Whitmer official expands mask requirement to children as young as 2”:

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s administration is expanding a requirement to children as young as 2 years old that residents wear masks during gatherings under a new epidemic order unveiled Friday.

The policy change comes amid surging COVID-19 infection and hospitalization rates in Michigan. The state has led the nation in new cases per population for two weeks, and Dr. Joneigh Khaldun, Michigan’s chief medical executive, described the situation as “dire” on Thursday.

The new order maintains the 50% capacity limit on indoor dining at restaurants and a 15-person limit on indoor residential gatherings. Some public health experts had called on Whitmer to do more to restrict gatherings and shut down certain activities to combat the high case rates.

The mask requirement previously exempted children younger than the age of 5. Expanding the mask rule to children ages 2 to 4 also requires “a good faith effort to ensure that these children wear masks while in gatherings at childcare facilities or camps,” according to the Whitmer administration.

The new mask policy for children, which takes effect Monday, is meant to address increases in cases among younger Michiganians. It has been recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics and urged in a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance, according to the state.

Whitmer’s war on children coincides with a push by Big Pharma and its government puppets to offset the millions of Americans who are reluctant to be injected with an experimental vaccine that was rushed into production without the regular testing phase by calling for America’s youngsters to be used as their lab rats and guinea pigs.

The governor is also working on further bolstering her dictatorial powers by making the state of emergency permanent.

According to Michigan Capitol Confidential:

The administration of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is drafting permanent rules that, once adopted, would impose an indefinite mandate for employees and customers to wear face masks.

The mandate is spelled out in draft rules posted by the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or MIOSHA. The rules, once formalized, would replace the state’s current emergency orders.

According to the state, “MIOSHA issued emergency rules for COVID-19 which will expire on April 14, 2021. These emergency rules may be extended for an additional 6 months, at which time formal rules would need to be implemented.”

MIOSHA stated that the face mask mandate was put into effect in Oct. 14, 2020.

Under the draft rules, a gym, bowling alley or other covered facility that is full of vaccinated customers would still have to require its patrons to wear face masks. Also under the proposed rules, fans at sporting events would have to wear masks.

The proposed rules state that once the state health department’s epidemic orders, which also require face masks and limit gatherings, are rescinded, the agency “will examine the continued need for these COVID-19 rules.” Under current Michigan law, the Legislature effectively has no ability to halt state agencies from imposing new rules. The Legislature can delay the implementation of the rules.

With Democrat-controlled states and cities increasingly coming to resemble lawless communist countries, Michiganders really have only two choices: move or accept your enslavement.
