I'll be damned -- maybe he was struck by lightning?

ATLANTA — Gov. Brian Kemp calls the COVID-19 vaccine a medical miracle and is urging hesitant Georgians to consider the vaccine or masking up and keep your distance.

“I am over this, ready to move on. But the fact is, we have to hunker down and fight through this over the next two, three weeks and I just really want to urge people to consider getting vaccinated,” Kemp said.

Kemp told Channel 2′s Justin Farmer that Georgians hesitant to get the COVID vaccine must listen to doctors, not politicians.

“I feel really strongly that a mandate will only divide people,” Kemp said. “My thinking is, look, talk to your medical professional. Talk to your doctor, talk to your local pharmacist and just make a good decision to protect you and your family and, hopefully, that would be to get vaccinated.”

The governor told Farmer that he talks with hospital CEOs frequently about the virus’ impact. He said staffing healthcare workers in hospitals is a big problem statewide.

1. I guess he doesn't have presidential ambitions so is not auditioning for

libertarian republican oligarchs who want to see deaths of all kinds, including that of children, more acceptable in the US and around the world.
