It?s difficult to imagine much that is of greater public interest than the science and data behind the state?s pandemic policy. Gov. Whitmer used extraordinary executive power to issue sweeping policies that dictated when people were allowed to leave their homes, where they were allowed to travel and what they were allowed to do outside their homes. Whatever interest there is in letting public officials speak plainly when helping formulate policy, it simply cannot compete with the public?s need to know what informed this unprecedented government action.

In denying access to certain information (including material as innocuous as working group e-mail addresses), the university cited exemptions relating to procedures relating to the physical safety of its property and employees.

It strains credulity to argue that requesting records somehow jeopardizes the safety of these interests. These exemptions are designed to protect a public body?s response to terrorism, cybersecurity, and emergency response plans, as well as passwords and other security data. We never asked for information that a reasonable person would consider remotely related to these aims.
It's not the reasonable people who'd make death threats against various entities involved in COVID-19 response.

The info on who was consulted on science and what they said should be public, but people shouldn't form lynch mobs because they don't like science.
