Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves (R) on Friday announced at a press conference that he has no plans of issuing a statewide mask mandate or requiring state employees to get vaccinated as the state experiences a spike in COVID-19 cases, WJTV reported.

Reeves did, however, encourage residents of his state to get the vaccine.

"Either the vaccine works or it doesn't. I believe it does, and it works in two ways; makes you significantly less likely to get the virus, and the second phase, makes it even less likely that you are going to end up hospitalized or in an ICU bed," Reeves said, according to WJTV.

for state employee, and especially school employees with kids under 12, and unable to get vaccinated themselves, going back to school now.

And masks too.

It's a huge, no-brainer decision. It's like these latent trumpers, still kinda being loyal to the orange turd, have to be dragged kicking and screaming to do the right thing.
