San Fran mayor breaking Covid rules is why we should end all mandates

In the wake of San Francisco Mayor London Breed recently breaking her own indoor mask mandate - her explanation was “I was feeling the spirit and I wasn’t thinking about a mask" - National Review's Charlie Cooke writes, "The rule in San Francisco is that unless you’re actively eating or drinking, you need to wear a mask. And, per her own testimony, London Breed wasn’t actively eating or drinking; she was dancing while her drink was 'sitting at the table.”

Cooke asks, "Is the rule that Breed broke stupid? Yes, it is — especially given that San Francisco has a system of vaccine passports that applies to the very club she was attending. But it’s the rule nevertheless, and, as mayor, she has to follow it, too."

"As I write, millions of American kids are on their way to school with masks strapped over their faces — a fact of which London Breed’s political party not only approves, but is willing to sue in order to universalize," Cooke adds. "If, as Breed implies, these rules represent unnecessary and intrusive micromanagement that can’t possibly survive contact with reality, then maybe we should do the obvious thing, and blow them all up?"
