Will the Biden Administration Bring Back Mask Mandates and Lockdowns?
PJ Media ^ | 7/18/2022 | MATT MARGOLIS

Joe Biden repeatedly promised on the campaign trail that he would “shut down the virus,” yet, despite inheriting a few vaccines and a year’s worth of research and understanding of the virus, cases and deaths surged multiple times, and more Americans died on his watch than under Trump. For most people, the pandemic is essentially over, and they just want things to return to normal.

But the Biden administration is not ready for normal.

On Sunday, Dr. Ashish Jha, Joe Biden’s COVID-19 coordinator, appeared on ABC’s “This Week,” during which he “reminded” people that the pandemic isn’t over yet and that they should wear masks out in public.

“You know, I have to say I’ve been traveling again this week, on airplanes, in airports, so few people wearing masks. And in New York City, where they have a 15 percent positivity rate, The New York Times described it as kind of a ‘meh’ reaction to this variant. So what do you do?” host Martha Raddatz of ABC’s “This Week,” asked Jha.

“I think it’s really important to remind people of the science, the public health science. And the public health science is very clear,” Jha replied. “If you’re in a crowded indoor space, especially if it’s poorly ventilated, wearing a mask reduces your risk of infection and reduces your risk of spreading it to others.”

Jha also expressed support for Los Angeles County, which is bringing back its universal mask mandate later this month.

Of course they will. It's not about health. It's about control.

Signalman :" Of course they will. It's not about health. It's about control. "

When covid first came out, a CDC study showed that N-95 masks are between four and ten percent (4 - 10 %)effective in preventing illness transmission.
It is all about control during the media and press engineered hysteria.

Even if “The Biden Administration” doesn’t reinstate lockdowns and mandates at the federal level, blue state governors will.

Apology in advance. Level of tolerance past.

I don’t give a Rat’s Ass about this clown’s qualifications. Harvard, go figure!! Can we PLEASE send this INDIAN POS back home? I’m sick and tired of people like him and the Twitter CEO dictating to natural born AMERICANS!

Go back to your smelly shithole country, and take your CAST System with you. GTFO!

My family didn’t give in to the tyranny the first time, and we will not give in to it in the future!

This is a free country—how do they think they can simply issue “mandates”?

I agree. I fully expect it, and suspect that their vote fraud plans for the mid-terms are depending on lockdowns and fear mongering.

The interesting question will be to see how this plays out from state to state.

100% correct.

In Canaduh, expect it sooner as True-dolt MUST be THE MOST VIRTUOUS of VIRTUE SIGNALERS. Likely even MANDITORY shots, NO EXCEPTIONS this time! He knows how far the courts backed him the last time, ignoring the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, so he’ll go FULL DICK-TATER this time! XiJinBiden and his band of crooks will follow suit.

If they think it’ll help them politically and/or financially, - YES!

If Sisolak somehow gets re-elected here in NV, I know he will jump on the bandwagon.

Even studies like that don’t account for all the ways that mask wearing causes health issues.
