Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, a Democrat, declared in a new interview that the COVID-19 emergency is "over" and that he won’t be implementing another statewide mask mandate in response to the spread of the omicron variant, explaining that if people aren’t vaccinated at this point it’s their "own darn fault" if they get sick.

[butlerweave]

and it’s the Governments fault if the vaccinated get sick

[Pollard]

One realist dem.

[gitmo]

if => when

[acoulterfan]

“alternate misinformation universe”. - THE TRUTH!!!!!

[Organic Panic]

I am sure the media will be out condemning him like they did DeSantis.

[mountainlion]

I fear for what he is going to do to us next.

[GaryCrow]

Not that I have any use for Polis, but he’s right. That’s all anybody that doesn’t have the vaccine by now is asking for, just leave them alone and let them worry about whether they get Covid or not. People just need to STFU about the unvaccinated and let them live their lives. Somebody being unvaccinated isn’t a threat to anyone else so the Covid obsessed busybodies need to get a life and let others live theirs.

[UNGN]

No **** dude, where you dem’s been?

[max americana]

he’s a DEmocrap. They wont condemn him.

Thank you.
"It is my own darn fault" - so let's get on with life.
Of course California will never let its citizens to lead their own lives, they need their enlightened betters to lock them down. And the only reason this Colorado Dem Governor is showing some willingness to lift his boot off the people's necks, is because he's running for re-election next year. But I'm happy whenever any Government wannabee tyrant backs down from their Fascist nature - whatever the reason.
At least he isn't trying to copy their model: Jacinta - the New Zealand Stalinist.

The pervert and his “husband” are just afraid of the next election cycle.

meanwhile, from the “conservative” govt in South Australia, which has had FOUR “covid” deaths in total since the “pandemic” began, and TWO suspected “omicron” cases:

13 Dec: news.com.au: South Australia forcing Omicron close contacts into hotel quarantine
One Australian state has made the controversial decision to send all close contacts of the new Omicron variant to hotel quarantine, regardless of their vax status.
by Natalie Brown
South Australian chief health officer Nicola Spurrier announced the decision on Friday, which means anyone linked to a case of the new strain will be sent into isolation for 14 days, irrespective of their vaccination status...
“Casual contact requirements for Omicron cases will continue with the requirement to get tested immediately and quarantine until a negative test result is received, and to get tested again on day six and day 13.”...
For other variants of Covid-19, vaccinated South Australians are only required to quarantine for seven days...

‘Very confusing, very stressful and very uncertain’
One person impacted by the new measures is hairdresser Shaun Ferguson, who inadvertently became a close contact when he was out browsing for plants at his local nursery on Tuesday afternoon.
Mr Ferguson received a text message from SA Health that night, telling him he’d been to a potential Omicron exposure site – so he immediately got tested. The next day, an SA Health employee told him he could isolate at home – and if he tested negative, he could leave isolation after seven days because he was fully vaccinated.
But just five minutes later, Mr Ferguson told the ABC, the same employee “came back and said, ‘I’m really sorry. I’ve given you some false information, because it’s the Omicron variant they are not necessarily happy for you to be isolating at home with your husband and they are going to consider putting you in a medi-hotel’”...

Asked to wait for another phone call from SA Health, he then received an email telling him to isolate for seven days, and then another call within the next hour from the SA Health helpline...
At about 11.30pm, he received a text message from SA Health telling him to prepare to be transported to a medi-hotel in the morning.
“Eight o’clock in the morning the bus arrived with the police escort picking me up to take me to hotel quarantine,” Mr Ferguson said...
Mr Ferguson was unable to isolate at home with his husband because they only have one bathroom. He was taken to the Pullman medi-hotel in Hindmarsh Square...

“I think it’s overkill and with Christmas only a few weeks away I think it will destroy Christmas for a lot of people,” one South Australian said.
“We’ve been encouraged to get vaccinated and now we’ve been put back in the same class as [the] unvaccinated,” said another.
Another Adelaide resident said authorities could not keep changing the rules.
“We’re always going to get new variants coming out and we can’t keep changing the goalposts every time,” they said...

So he’s basically saying all the vax carriers are free to infect anyone, then.....

[DouglasKC]

THAT’s the attitude everyone should have had in the first place.

Dem governor declares COVID-19 emergency ‘over,’ says it’s ‘their own darn fault’ if unvaccinated get sick

What an innovative thought for a Democrat - letting adults make their own decisions on vaccinations and dealing with the consequences like adults.

[Sgt_Schultze]

We may have to setup hospitals that refuse admission to the vaccinated, staffed by fired, unvaccinated nurses and doctors. In the end, NO government employee who decreed, administered, or punished resisters of vaccination mandates should ever be eligible for any treatment.

[metmom]

So what’s up with him?

Is he up for re-election or something?
