Grandstanding Cuomo should follow the science and end NY’s mask mandate

In fact, the CDC guidance merely acknowledges well-established science — which Cuomo has throughout the pandemic loudly insisted he’s following. To claim he and Zucker need to review it before he acts is just another example of the gov’s arrogance.

It’s a repeat of last year, when Cuomo made a grand show of commissioning a panel to review the vaccines after they’d gained federal approval. “The way the federal government has handled the vaccine, there are now serious questions about whether or not the vaccine has become politicized,” Cuomo pontificated, utterly without evidence. (Notably, Dr. Anthony Fauci reproached the gov for needlessly undermining confidence in the jabs.)

In fact, Cuomo’s panel gave its OK just hours after the feds did. Did the members actually do anything? Team Cuomo has stonewalled a Freedom of Information inquiry into its activities.

There’s no need for Cuomo and Zucker to reinvent the wheel. More than half of adult New Yorkers are fully vaccinated, with nearly two-thirds having received at least one dose. COVID cases and hospitalizations have plummeted, along with the transmission rate. The vaxxed should be able to go without masks in almost every setting. It would encourage those who haven’t gotten the shot, too.

But Andrew Cuomo just can’t stop putting his ego ahead of the interests of New York’s citizens.

Our County Health Leader, Monroe County NY, Dr. Mendoza is saying that Cuomo should get off his high horse and follow the new guidelines.

We all know that the dems made this sudden, contradictory change in their position because Joe was destroying the country and they needed to change the “narrative.” But I have to say it’s been really entertaining today watching libs try to deal with it. They’re losing their minds, because their security blanket/badge of superiority/progressive club membership patch has been unexpectedly yanked away, and they don’t know what to do. Rachel Maddow looked like a deer in the headlights, lamenting the fact that she didn’t know how she was going to “recalibrate” her mind to accept others not wearing masks, and no longer being able to mask shame them (that’s pretty much what she came right out and admitted.).

These lunatics love the Wuhan virus, masks, lockdowns, and being ordered around by their “superiors.” They don’t want to go back to normal. The very idea really upsets them. They’re a very sick bunch.

Cuomo should be in jail for mass murder

As I watch the unfolding drama on the new CDC guidance, I am reminded of the chain of events following the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Amazingly, I was originally rather incurious about the timing of this. But as I watch all these people and institutions turn on a dime, I now am very willing to believe that the timing is politically driven.

Amusingly, I want to take credit for the CDC's shift--I got my second Pfizer shot on Thursday.

The problem is, there’s so many Trump supporters hanging out at the CDC they’re not to be trusted. Because they know the unvaxxed will stop wearing masks too! Those selfish Trumpers are only thinking of themselves. Think of the children under 12 who can’t be vaccinated yet. They’re all going to die!

I read about it on Democratic Underground so it must be true.

I call BS on the fully half of NYSers being vaccinated.

NTS has been lying about case counts, deaths.

Why wouldn’t NYS lie about the vaccination rate as well?

Grandstanding Cuomo should be arrested and charged with murders. Along with Whitmer, Wolf, Murphy and Newsom. This “Gang of Five” is responsible for more murders than anyone in US a history.

I left Monroe County in 1974 - I thought it was getting bad then, but it was more conservative than most of the State and the “Greater Rochester Area”.

Anyone else wondering if the continuation of the muzzle mandate has anything to do with NYS primaries in June...

EVERYONE should be able to go without masks everywhere, all of the time. This is all b.s.

But I guess now the angle, predictably, is going to be “If you get the “vaccine” [carrot], you will be “allowed” to live like a semi-free human being. If you don’t, then you won’t.” [stick]

We are living in the dumbest period in human history, ruled by despicable hacks making fools out of fear-driven, gullible idiots.

I’m still in Monroe County but left the city about the same time you left.
