REQUEST FOR MAYOR AND DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC HELP TO COUNTERACT ANTI-MASK CAMPAIGN BY A CANDIDATE FOR SCHOOL COMMITTEE, A TRUMP SUPPORTER


TO THE MAYOR AND DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC HEALTH

Have you seen the petition to give children in Medford the OPTION of wearing masks in school, while the Delta variant is raging?

The group is called "Families of Medford" but it appears to be Kerry Laidlaw, Trump supporter and candidate for Medford School Committee

A story from Kinga Borondy at Wicked Local notes:
Should you go mask free? Most people are saying definitely not

May 24, 2021 — Kinga Borondy / kborondy@wickedlocal.com. True, Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker has already decreed an end to masking in public as of May ...

HERE IS A PORTION OF CANDIDATE LAIDLAW'S ANTI-MASK PETITION
 
Families of Medford started this petition to Mayor, Superintendent, School Committee

We have decided to put this petition together as we want to be proactive in this and get ahead before the children go back to school.

I have spoke to many regarding this. The governor of MA himself finds the mask mandate unnecessary, due to 73% of MA being vaccinated. MA is the highest vaccinated state. DESE also stated they will leave it up to the individual school districts to make the decision.

I feel safe putting this together due to the number of vaccinations that have been administered. The breakthrough cases in MA are incredibly low, those hospitalized or passed away are even lower. "Deaths are very uncommon" per Todd Ellerin director of infectious disease at South Shore Health. 73% of deaths have had underlining conditions here in MA. Not 1 child in MA has passed away due to this terrible disease.

I am posting this petition for parent's/guardians who feel face coverings should be optional for the MPS. As usual the administration waited until the last minute to put this in place. So many of our surroundings cities have stood up to fight just like those have done to keep one on and have be able to have it optional. I have had hundreds of teachers, parents and even students sending me messages to continue to fight this. I cannot do it alone I need your help. The administration needs to see how strongly you feel about this, not just myself. It makes me so very sad to see how fearful some of you are about this and that you will lose your job if you speak up. Nobody should ever feel that way. If everyone stopped making this political just for one moment I think everyone would be able to view this from a different lense.
I am going to also make something VERY I will NOT tolerate any name calling, disrespect on my page if you do not agree that is fine it's your choice. I am not going to sit back and allow our city to stay divided any longer. We need to ALL find a common ground and build a better, stronger, Medford with supporting EVERYONE!

Ms. Laidlaw told me that she's "Best friends" with John Falco.  Fine.  Tie Falco's campaign to Trump supporter Laidlaw's campaign.

Read from the small number of supporters Ms. Laidlaw attracted  Medford Schools should have a choice!
Only 115 in a city of 58,000 or so, which is 112 better than the 3 supporters on Go Fund Me

A little bit about this very dangerous candidate, Kerry Laidlaw

1)Yes, she has a 1st Amendment right to say things about city government, we are all supposed to have that right, except at the city council where President Caravirello violates his oath and the rules with impunity
(allowing John Falco to attack his opponent using Medford resources??????  State Ethics Commission RED FLAG if ever there was one!)

2)I've personally heard Laidlaw screaming at her kids on the phone, so Mother of the Year she is not, though she uses her children in her campaign ads shamelessly

3)The Trump supporter when hysterically OFF on me for supporting Joe Biden.  When I politely blocked her she started texting me, stalking me, posting vicious things on her Facebook,
  then attacked my family....it was horrifying.  I won't put into print the extreme cruelty that she and an accomplice displayed, but Mark Rumley and I discussed how you call a truce and
  don't go after those who have passed on.  Kerry's accomplice did.  It was brutal

4)The Go Fund Me for Laidlaw's campaign was stuck at $220.00 with only 3 supporters.  It seems to have been taken down.

5)Ms Laidlaw is on a page THE RACISTS OF MEDFORD   Again, Laidlaw shields herself behind "the children of Medford"

Only 74 days to election day Nov 2 74 days  There are 74 days from August 20, 2021 to November 2, 2021
 
25 days to the Sept 14 primary  * There are 25 days from August 20, 2021 to September 14, 2021*

MEDFORD, MA — Medford's municipal election will be held Tuesday, Nov. 2. If necessary, a preliminary election is scheduled for Sept. 14.
 
I just purchased the 3M N95 masks on eBay and they arrived rather quickly.  This is a huge public safety matter  We need to take the situation seriously

As they say "An ounce of prevention, worth a pound of cure." (Was that Benjamin Franklin?)

Can you and the mayor do something to counteract this Trump misinformation from candidate Laidlaw up to the primary.

She doesn't seem to have very many supporters so I expect she will lose in the first round.


Respectfully


Joe Viglione
