Months late, the CDC finally announces that those who have been vaccinated can take off their masks.

Joe Biden continues his war on teleprompters and Israel polls one of the great military misdirect in modern history.

Well, who's been telling you that for months on end? Hmm? Who's been saying that? But every time we have said that, for months on end, we have worried that YouTube will take down our videos or that Apple will somehow censor us that Facebook will hit us with a fact check. Why? Well, because your public health experts have been lying to you. See, here is the thing. And this has been a thing throughout the pandemic. Science is a process. Science is rooted in data. It's rooted in hypotheses, which are then either falsified or held up by the data. Science is not, in fact, a group of quote-unquote tuss scientists. It is not an institution. Science is not Anthony Fauci. Science is not Rishol Walenski. Science is not any of these jokers. Science is a process of verifying truth or falsity. And so those of us who have been looking at the data all along knew that once you are vaccinated

and you are two weeks past your final vaccination, you don't need to wear a mask anymore. In fact,

in these very offices, I was very into masking because I didn't want to infect my parents. I was very

into masking up until the point at which they got vaccinated and I got vaccinated. And at that point,

I said to everyone in the offices, if you don't want to wear a mask and you have the option to get vaccinated, if you choose not to get vaccinated, that's a you problem. If you choose to wear a mask, that's a you problem. Once you're vaccinated, you don't have to care. I've been saying this four months. You know why? Because I read the studies. You know why? Because I followed the data. You know why? Because I didn't listen to the dullards in the public health

establishment who have been infected with politics. We were told for a year that Donald Trump

infused all of his COVID response with politics. And they pointed to his supposed pressure

on the CDC, which the CDC denied. And they pointed to his so-called pressure on Anthony Fauci

which Fauci denied. And then pointed to his so-called pressure on Anthony Fauci, which Fauci denied.

And then Joe Biden came into office and the entire public health establishment just started

mirroring whatever Joe Biden wanted politically.

They started going soft on whether schools should reopen, even though the data said that

schools should be open.

They started suggesting that vaccines weren't all that effective.

They started suggesting that workplaces should continue to socially distance even after

people have been vaccinated. Joe Biden was appearing publicly 20,000 feet away from anybody outdoors

and he was still masking. Kamala Harris was kissing her husband on tarmac through a mask,

even though both of them had been vaccinated. None of this was in compliance with science.

All of it was politically driven bull crap because, as I said, the goal of the Biden administration
