Rep. Bill Huizenga, R-Mich., decried the CDC’s recommendation to shut down Michigan again in a statement to Fox News, calling on the Biden administration to"adopt a surge strategy" and give the state more vaccines instead of backing another shutdown."It’s clear that Michigan is a hot spot for COVID-19.

Democrats from Michigan gave their thoughts on the CDC’s recommendation as well. Rep. Andy Levin, D-Mich., said in a statement to Fox News that he appreciates the CDC's guidance for the state"because this explosion of cases and hospitalizations cannot be solved by vaccines alone."

Profits over people. Pro life until birth.
