A *very* unlikely leader of the Covid-19 vaccine push – CNN

Jim Justice, the Mountain State's governor, switched from the Democratic to the Republican Party in August 2017 -- announcing the move at a rally for Trump in the state."Today I will tell you as West Virginians, I can't help you anymore being a Democrat governor," Justice said at the rally. "So tomorrow, I will be changing my registration to Republican."

None of that would have predicted this: Justice has been one of the leading voices pushing for vaccinations of his citizens.

This isn't the first time that Justice has broken with his Party when it comes to dealing with the pandemic.

Back in February, Justice spoke out -- on CNN among other media outlets -- about his belief that Congress needed to "go big" with its coronavirus stimulus package. (West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin's vote to pass the $1.9 trillion measure via budget reconciliation shortly after the Justice public prodding.)

The Point: Justice is way beyond political concerns at this point in his term -- and his life. Which allows him, at least in regard Covid-19 vaccinations, to simply do the right thing.
