What is going on in Michigan? (Right-wing nutjobs)

Not only are three GOP candidates for state AG against the 1965 Supreme Court ruling, that married couples can use birth control, there's this guy running for governor.

Michigan GOP gubernatorial candidate tells supporters 'do not depend on your doctor' to stay healthy

On Monday, progressive talk radio station WCPT 820 AM's Heartland Signal posted audio of Garrett Soldano, a Republican candidate for governor in Michigan, telling supporters at a campaign event that it would be "fine" for kids to get COVID-19 — and that people should not "depend" on their doctor.

"I am unvaccinated, I have natural immunity," said Soldano, who runs a chiropractic business. "COVID's a cold. It is, it's a coronavirus, that's a cold. You know how it is, it knocked me out, my wife lost her sense of smell and taste, I was out for ten days ... it's funny, you can't talk about your immune system. If God wanted you to have a covering over your face, he would have built you with one. He gave you something even more magical, it's called the immune system."

Soldano previously attracted national controversy for claiming that rape survivors should not get abortions because "God put them in this moment" to have a baby.

to volunteer to expose himself to tetanus or rabies and see if his "natural" immune system can handle it! What a maroon.
