it’s time Democrats and the mainstream media also act responsibly and look at the data before they use hyperbolic scare tactics to try to conform people to their will.

The dim reaper is at it again. We need, President Biden tells us, to wear masks forever, to avoid ‘more cases and more desks…deaths…look…’

Look, fat: the number of desks has fallen in Texas and Florida, where mask-wearing in public is optional, while desks are rising in New York and New Jersey, where mask-wearing in public is required. It looks like COVID-19 works just like public-school teachers: differently in red states and blue ones.

Biden uses the phrase ‘mask mandate’ like it’s already been approved, in the way that voters grant a mandate to an elected authority. But it hasn’t been voted for or approved. It’s a proposal from a president who parrots whatever the CDC tell him. It’s up to the state governors to approve or disapprove his suggestion. Not all of them have ordered their citizens to mask up everywhere at all times. Most of them seem to understand most of their voters. Such is democracy.

The ‘mask mandate’ isn’t democracy: it’s politicized bureaucratic overreach. So is preventing the media from seeing the cages packed with children at the southern border. So is blocking Ted Cruz from filming them. And so is calling for vaccination passports.

The administration attacks any tightening of this country’s baggy electoral laws as Jim Crow by any other name. So how come it’s now fine and noble to encourage everyone, and we mean everyone, to vote — but exclude the unvaccinated from attending sporting events?

The unvaccinated are disproportionately poor and non-white. So they would suffer most from vaccine-based exclusions. In functional terms, mandatory vaccination passports would be the Jim Eagle of class and race discrimination. Yet an administration obsessed with the atmospherics of imaginary slights is floating a proposal to bureaucratically disenfranchise black people. This is incoherent, knee-jerk control-freakery. Desk, where is thy sting?

My prediction.... cases will crash during summer, then pick up during winter... surprised?

Now we're finally seeing news articles about the environmental impact of 3 million masks a day being discarded. Unintended consequences of a flawed policy.

The so-called Left here behave exactly as creationists...by not following scientific data and instead following their FEEWINGS

Right on.

They listen to bureaucrats spouting nonsense and don't read through PEER-REVIEWED articles (Pope Fauci is infallible, as we all know). Problem with reading such articles is that it requires either education in a specific field or an agile mind...I believe here @just_passing_through is (was) in a somewhat close science discipline.
On a more philosophical note, scientists go into bureaucracy when their research tanks...what does that say about Fauci
