There is nothing brave about republican governors in majority republican states following the misinformed party line for political brownie points on mask mandates and vaccines, in fact the exact opposite would have been brave and saved thousands of lives.

Maybe now the approach makes more sense since vaccination rates are higher but it certainly did not at the time.

Vaccinations rates are 65% of the population only 15% higher than 6 months ago.

Deaths are between 1500 and 2000 a day across the U.S..... higher than all but 3 to 5 months of the 2 year pandemic.

The people who are going for misinformed political brownie points are the Liberal states who know if they don't lift the covid restrictions during a voting year they will be removed from office which is extremely sick and hypocritical if you ask me, especially after demonizing republicans who stuck to their priniciples.

The 2k deaths per day are vast majority unvaccinated, republican governors in those states are partly directly responsible for the low vaccination rates by participating in this madness of misinformation and partisanship. These people should not be dying at this point if it were not for this propaganda.

And yet New York and California are lifting their COVID restrictions even though this is not over.
