There will never be a time when removal of face masks will be universally welcomed just as our children will never live a day with zero risk to their well-being. The emotional safety net for people who were calling for vaccines to be available before removing masks should have been pulled when school age children were eligible to be vaccinated last fall.

Now, the CDC says people are tired, so they are recommending removal of masks to “give them a break.”

Americans don’t need “a break.” What they deserve is an apology. The Biden administration’s role was to mitigate the crises caused by the pandemic and roll back restrictions as circumstances progressed. That is the opposite of what occurred.

Policies are finally changing because the CDC and the Biden administration are being called out for becoming an anti-science machine pushing forth outdated policy with little, if any, clinically significant benefit. The only thing Americans should hear from President Biden right now is “I’m sorry.”
