Levine was heavily criticized in May, 2020, when he removed his 95-year-old mother from a personal care home as COVID-19 cases soared in elder-care facilities in the Keystone State.
That same month, Levine was accused by state Sen. Doug Mastriano of “policy malpractice in [his] handling of the coronavirus pandemic, specifically in her [sic] handling of the virus’s spread through nursing homes and other long-term care facilities,” according to a
PennLive report at the time.
“Our secretary of health, Dr. Levine, decided that it would be good to allow COVID-positive patients to be returned to elder-care facilities,” said Mastriano, “And as a result of that, it broke out like fire.”
“Rachel Levine got her [sic] own mother out of a nursing home before ordering infected patients into them, leading to countless deaths,” noted Jack Posobiec on
Twitter, reacting to Biden’s announcement.
