Most Americans are over the pandemic

The general public is over the pandemic, plain and simple. The weather is getting warmer, and people are getting restless, writes Kentucky Sen. @RandPaul.

"It appears we’re entering the phase of the pandemic when even the pettiest of tyrants are beginning to see the absurdity of their mandates. But don’t give them full credit just yet. With the public pressure mounting and tolerance for bureaucratic edicts waning, they didn’t really have a choice.

Look no further than Washington, D.C. This week, Mayor Muriel Bowser announced that the district-wide vaccine mandate for restaurants, bars, gyms, and other entertainment venues would come to an end on Feb. 15, just one month after its enactment. The indoor mask mandate now expires on Mar. 1.

While I’m certainly thrilled these mandates are being canceled and allowed to expire, I must ask, did this happen because Mayor Bowser finally saw the light when it comes to the ridiculous nature of vaccine and mask mandates? Was that the reason for the quick reversal? Or did she see the writing on the wall that spelled out a tale of protest and noncompliance?

I say it’s the latter. The truckers in Canada have certainly made their point. Imagine if D.C. workers and families resisted!"
