JB Pritzker / IMAGE: ABC 7 Chicago (Greg Bishop, The Center Square ) Most everyone in Illinois schools, including college students, must to get vaccinated or be regularly tested for COVID-19, Gov. J.B. Pritzker ’s mandated Thursday in his latest executive order.
The governor also said masks will be required indoors statewide Monday.
Now a year-and-a-half into the pandemic, and nearly four months since vaccines have been widely available, Pritzker issued another mask mandate and ordered health care workers, school staff from preschool to college, and college students, to get vaccinated.
“Effective Sept. 5, individuals working in these settings who are unable or unwilling to receive their first dose of vaccine will be required to get tested for COVID-19 at least once a week and [Illinois Department of Public health] and [Illinois State Board of Education] may require more frequent testing in certain situations, like in an outbreak.”
Beginning Monday, masks will be required in all places for people older than 2 years old “regardless of vaccination status,” the governor said.
“Masks work, period,” Pritzker said.
The Pritzker administration says the efforts are to limit strain on hospitals. IDPH referred to a website from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention titled “ Science Brief: Community Use of Cloth Masks to Control the Spread of SARS-CoV-2 .”

The Illinois Retail Merchants Association said it supported the announcement. The retail group said it’s a measured approach to ensure shoppers have access to needed goods and keep workplaces safe. The Illinois Manufacturers’ Association said it supports vaccines and mask wearing to protect communities toward restoring the economy.
State Rep. Avery Bourne, R-Raymond, found out about the governor’s order from news reports before the announcement, not the governor’s office. She said some of these mandates must reached through collective bargaining at the local level.Pritzker said he’s working with unions to implement the mandate.In a letter to the governor before the announcement, Illinois House Minority Leader Jim Durkin, R-Western Springs, was confused by a phone call he got from the governor Wednesday night about the announcement while the governor’s political advertisements tout success in the pandemic.“That is why your phone […]

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
