Mayors, governors and other public and private officials across America are being scrutinized for alleged abuses of authority during the year-long COVID-19 hysteria – and well they should be.
Questions that should have been asked and answered remain unanswered and even unasked. Do government officials and private individuals have the right to compel citizens to receive medical interventions they do not desire? Can persons refusing such interventions be lawfully fined, prosecuted, reprimanded, and terminated?
Have any of the vaccines actually been approved? Have any been rigorously tested?
Are the vaccines really vaccines, properly defined?
Can constitutionally-protected rights and freedoms be abrogated any time someone sees, or pretends to see, a bogeyman?
LEWISBURG – A Greenbrier County woman has sued a Chicago-based assisted living facility operator after she was fired for refusing to take a COVID-19 vaccine.
CHARLESTON – West Virginia will receive a $10 million settlement from a national consulting firm that allegedly designed marketing plans and programs that helped fuel the state s opioid epidemic.
Attorney General Patrick Morrisey announced the settlement February 4. His office says it resolves allegations that McKinsey & Company Inc. collected millions from the nation’s largest opioid manufacturers, most notably a more than 15-year relationship with Purdue Pharma, to boost sales of OxyContin even well after the opioid epidemic peaked.
“Marketing efforts to boost the profits of opioid drug makers have caused – and continue to cause – immense harm to West Virginia,” Morrisey said of West Virginia’s settlement. “Such strategies valued profits above human life, and those responsible must be held accountable.
