So, I fully support ending mask mandates, etc. Why? Because there is little to no evidence the mandates work.

But for politicians like @GovMurphy, @GovKathyHochul, @GovNedLamont, etc...stop the BS. This is not because the science changed.

Its because the politics changed.

Lets look at the data. Where on this chart would you choose to end mandates?

???

Case numbers are higher now than any time in 2020 or 2021.

Look at this chart.

Does this make ANY sense, considering their past arguments for mandates???

The answer is clearly NO.

Maybe case numbers dropped! That would be great, right???

Except...also not the case.

So, at the end of the day, when you look at these charts, its quite clear the data isn't really what shifted.

There are two charts that does show why Democrats have all of a sudden come around...

What is funny is...the public still supports the mandates! I mean, I disagree with them, but again, this shows why Dems are in trouble.

They can't stick to any metric, so they are just flailing.
