Rand Paul is right: It's time to stop listening and start resisting   Kaylee McGhee White 1 hr ago

In the early days of the pandemic, I advocated for a temporary shutdown that I believed was necessary to prevent the healthcare system from collapsing. I also supported the widespread use of masks indoors because I believed they were better than nothing. Both of these opinions were based on the scant knowledge we had at the time and the concern that we would not be well-equipped to fight this virus.

But now we know two things for sure: the shutdown, which went from 14 days to several months, did a lot more harm than good. Meanwhile, the cloth masks that the vast majority of Americans use are barely better than useless. These were not solutions; they were Band-Aids, and we should not accept the reimposition of impractical restrictions when the only real solution — the vaccine — has been available to everyone for months.

Several states and cities are returning to mask mandates as the Delta variant spreads and vaccination rates wane. My own city, Washington, D.C., is reportedly planning on keeping its renewed mask mandate in place until Thanksgiving, even though we have a 7-day rolling average of zero coronavirus deaths. There is no reason for this — it is an anti-scientific policy, one that defies common sense. Just ask Mayor Muriel Bowser, who violated her own mandate while at a wedding the other weekend.
