House confirms Manisha Juthani as DPH commissioner

House Republicans futilely objected Wednesday to the confirmation of Dr. Manisha Juthani as commissioner of public health, re-litigating how Connecticut employed lockdowns, vaccinations and mask mandates to fight COVID-19.

Knowing they had no chance at denying confirmation of an epidemiologist recruited from the Yale School of Medicine during the pandemic, the GOP minority used the debate to vent over restrictions, most no longer in force.
