America is moving past the virus, but not because of any progress made during his presidency, as the science has not changed.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cBecause of the progress we\u2019ve made, because of your resilience and the tools we have, tonight I can say\u00a0we are moving forward safely, back to more normal routines,\u201d Biden said, failing to mention that blue state leaders and federal agencies just recently began to ease mandates before the SOTU address and months before the midterm elections. In fact, the Democrat-led House of Representatives and Biden White House conveniently lifted their mask mandates right before his big address.<\/p>\n<p>Biden continued, briefly mentioning the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issuing new masking guidance, freeing most of the country from the burden of face coverings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThanks to the progress we have made this past year, COVID-19 need no longer control our lives,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>However, Biden attributed the loosened restrictions and rules to the \u201ctools\u201d and progress made during his presidency, despite the fact that the science <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/08\/24\/study-surgical-and-cloth-masks-filter-roughly-10-efficient-at-blocking-aerosols\/\">has not changed<\/a>. Drugstore masks continue to be ineffective, as documented by studies and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/health\/2021\/06\/02\/report-anthony-fauci-said-released-emails-drug-store-masks-not-really-effective\/\">acknowledged<\/a> by the CDC and Fauci themselves. Additionally, vaccines have been available over the past year, yet several blue areas still reimplemented coronavirus restrictions in Biden\u2019s first year in office, imposing mask mandates and continuing to force children to mask up in school as elite leftists <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/02\/07\/stacey-abrams-required-children-to-cover-their-faces-so-she-could-go-maskless\/\">failed<\/a> to abide by their own standard, forgoing masks for their own convenience.<\/p>\n<p>Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R)\u2013 the Republican governor who has championed liberty in his state over the past two years while facing constant criticism from lockdown Democrats \u2014 \u00a0is among those who have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/02\/09\/desantis-rips-blue-state-governors-science-didnt-change-the-political-science-changed\/\">pointed<\/a> out that the science has not changed, despite the fact that Democrats appear to be suggesting otherwise to justify their past year of forced masking and restrictions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe science has not changed one iota. We knew from the beginning, and that\u2019s why Florida never imposed a forced masking policy on school children, and that\u2019s why we fought to liberate the kids from the forced masking that was done on the local level because there was never a justification for it,\u201d DeSantis said during a press conference weeks ago.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo when you start to see them kind of reevaluate or say all this, just understand this. The science didn\u2019t change. The medical science didn\u2019t change. The political science changed. They feel the heat. They know that voters have been tired of perpetual lockdown policies,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey know that they have basically offered no offramp and they know that they\u2019re fixing to be whooped at the polls, so that\u2019s causing the epiphany,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CLAIM: President Biden declared during Tuesday\u2019s State of the Union address that the Chinese coronavirus no longer needs to control Americans\u2019 lives due to the \u201cprogress\u201d made during his administration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1353719","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1353719","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1353719"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1353719\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1353719"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1353719"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1353719"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
