Because the democrats have to face the voters in November 2022.
Michael Knowles gets it right, IMO. The State has gotten almost everything they wanted from the pandemic, and have reached a point of diminishing political returns.
Not to mention few deaths from Omicron.
Two reasons
First the lies about the virus are no longer scaring the people
Second the lies about the virus is generating hate against the establishment (Democrats, media, Hollywood and the usual gang of liars).
As a previous poster noted - there is an election coming soon.
This game is about over.
Because it is all Trump’s fault.
The public may be nearing its propaganda saturation point and the media is recognizing that their credibility is zeroing out.
I hope so, but I don’t see restrictions on freedom, such as the employer mandates and proof of vacinated status to enter restaurants in many blue cities being rescinded.

Dr Tully talks about this issue.
On a side note he talks about the NETWORK SOCIETY which is the first time I have heard of it. Interesting stuff.
When has facing the voters ever bothered Democrats? They just trot out the same old playbook that the GOP are racist, sexist homophobes who are both evil and incompetent while they use every underhanded trick in the book to disenfranchise conservatives and drop in fraudulent ballots.
It worked like a charm in 2020. Trump was going to win until 3 a.m. when the Dems snuck in fake ballots in five states that overturned the results. Why do we not think they’ll do it again in 2022?
If the Dems have changed their minds on totalitarian overreach while prepping all of us for the Mark of the Beast economy, amen. But fear of the voters isn’t in the Democrat vocabulary. As long as I’ve been alive, they’ve never moderated their tone. Ever.
True story....... a few weeks ago a relative was in the hospital, but he went through the ER route first. My sister and I sat most of the day day in the ER waiting room, which was outfitted with furniture all socially distanced. For nearly 8 hours, we saw a few people walk up check in. Parents with infants, some elderly, usual stuff. Half the ER waiting room wasn’t even open. They roped it off.
That night, I was back in the ER patient room with dad, who was waiting on a room to be admitted. I was so bored I was reading through the local news for the nth time that day. And came across a new article about the local hospital - the very hospital we were in. (There are two in town). The article was a story how the ER was overrun with COVID patients. And the hospital was concerned about bed shortage.
Dad and I were talking about I said the ER waiting room was nearly empty. I mentioned I dont know how they came to this conclusion. I basically lived in the waiting room all day and it was never full - even with limited seating.
So I walked out to the nurses station and showed it to the nurses who were sitting there. One looked at it and said, “I don’t know where that came from. We’ve only seen ONE positive test since I’ve been here today.”
Two days later, there was a second story written, but this one didn’t contain the scary descriptors. I would call it more of a correction. (The first story is gone). It was an article written about getting tested, and you didn’t have to go to the ER to get a test, yada yada.
A few days later, I inquired how many covid ppl were at the hospital. The answer multiple people gave me was 6 at the most. One technician thought 4. Dad’s night nurse told us 6 but someone went home.
>>Because the democrats have to face the voters in November 2022.<<
I hope and pray these leftists in the senate and house are thrown out of power for what they’ve done to this country.
How we could go from a strong, prosperous nation to a weak, pathetic social welfare state in a year should be a wakeup call for everyone...even the leftist’s base.
Tagline.
The wheels are falling off the storyline wagon, and the geniuses want to tell us that we will be floating in the air , until it’s all in the ditch.
However the OP is right - they quickly move on to other things. They don't want people asking or even considering the natural follow-up question -- how many lives are lost? Because Omicron is turning out to be relatively mild. Hard to generate the requisite fear levels from common cold/flu like symptoms.
However, if you can talk about hospitalizations. Especially if you can do a little hand waving and relate it to some percentage of capacity. Now, they'll never admit capacities have been decreased rather than increased here of late. Too many staff members fired or left due to vaccine mandates. "So never mind why the capacity is what it is, just know that covid is pushing hospitals to their limits!"
People are covid-fatugued. No-one wants to hear about another variant or any more bad news. For two years now it has been non-stop fear porn. People are literally and figuratively exhausted.
People are vaccine-fatigued. People were sold the vaccines as a return to normal. Then they were told no normal for you, because of those dirty un-vaccinated types. Then they were told they'd need a booster after just 6 months. Then maybe another booster, in fact maybe boosters as often as every 4 months. Then maybe as often as every 2 months since Omicron could get you if your last shot was more than 60 days prior... What's the end state, continuous suckling at the mRNA teat?
The fascist left has about wrung all they can out of covid and the vaccines. But they've tasted more power and control than ever before (in the US). They will not voluntarily give it up. We are going to have to fight to return to normal. My concern is what are they planning next. What crisis to justify maintaining, even expanding their draconian un-Constitutional controls.
COVID-19 Has been a scam from day one and to say that they're moderating because omicron is less virulent is just you lying to yourself.
You are either an idiot or a newbie troll.
What Zuckerberg did wasn’t illegal, and the GOP better adapt and adjust. Set up Ballot harvesting operations like the Dems did. Go to Gettr or Gab for social networking. Use Rumble for videos. An alternative to PayPal for fundraising. Dan Bongino laid it out very well.
