IDPH Director can’t say if she communicated with former IDVA director during peak of deadly COVID-19 outbreak – Center Square

During Friday’s hearing in a Senate committee, IDPH Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike told state Sen. Craig Wilcox she would regularly talk with then IDVA Director Linda Chapa LaVia before the outbreak to support and pray with each other. Ezike couldn’t say if they talked during the peak of the outbreak at the LaSalle home that eventually killed 36 residents.

Hope and prayers aren’t a sound strategy. No wonder Illinois has been an epic failure. Jabba can’t praise Dr. Ezike enough, but while he’s doing that she’s on a prayer call.

Wait, aren’t they “following the science”?

We don’t elect our officials to appoint directors of state agencies to “pray” for effective policy implementation, but rather to devise and enact such policy. What a stupid excuse!

IDPH director is ineffective and underqualified, serving only as another virtue-signaling appointment of Pritzker, and demonstrating the callow disregard Pritzker has for the actual welfare of the non-clouted average Illinois resident.

Here we see who the only beneficiary of big gov is: big gov.

Got a problem? Have two of your lackeys point fingers at each other until the fuss dies down.
