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.

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

They don't want to admit it.

I expect things’ll get real bad about a week before the first swing state’s early voting starts.

Yes. They need the breed fear to increase their turnout in November. Trump will probably be indicted a day or two before the election, too.

There never was a pandemic. There were no mass deaths on city sidewalks. There were no crowds of old ladies desperately gasping for air in busy intersections. There were no piles of dead bodies out in the open. The short horror films of March 2020 were nonsense. When the MSM filth had successfully terrorized enough people, they pulled the propaganda films in the blink of an eye. and we are supposed to forget they ever existed.

ANTIFA and BLM won’t riot for the Dems if they can’t cover their face, so Dems need mandatory masking at least where they intend to riot. LA and NYC for starters?
