Guests who are not fully vaccinated must wear a mask at all times and maintain at least six feet distance from others while on the White House grounds,\u201d the email said.<\/p>\n<p>Forget that social distancing doesn\u2019t really work (if you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deseret.com\/coronavirus\/2021\/4\/28\/22403972\/social-distancing-work-inside\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">believe<\/a> those IQ-challenged wonks at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology), masks don\u2019t really work (a <a href=\"https:\/\/physiciansqualitycare.com\/patients\/pdfs\/mask-study.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">study<\/a> of 3,000 found). And that vaccine, along will endless boosters? Yeah, no. Even the <a href=\"https:\/\/slate.com\/technology\/2022\/01\/covid-immunity-triple-vaccinated-omicron.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">triple-vaxxed<\/a> can get the virus.<\/p>\n<p>But the White House and Democrats don\u2019t care about the facts. They\u2019d rather continue to scare the hell out of Americans and ignore the science. They gave away a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/federal-reserve-blames-congress-for-inflation\/\" title=\"Federal Reserve Blames Congress for Inflation\">couple trillion dollars<\/a> to their cronies (hey, no need to pay it back) and the only way to sell that is to continue the hype that COVID is worse than the Black Plague.<\/p>\n<p>Take Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). The pandemic lives on for the New York democratic socialist \u2014 at least according to an automated phone message that reportedly plays when people call her congressional office in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThank you for calling the office of Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Federal, state and local officials have advised that social distancing is critical to preventing the spread of COVID-19,\u201d the recorded greeting from a male staffer says, <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2023\/05\/28\/aocs-office-still-touts-social-distancing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to the New York Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b data-stringify-type=\"bold\"><\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs such, staff in the congresswoman\u2019s DC and district offices will shortly begin telecommuting. Meetings and other business will be conducted by phone or video. Thank you for your understanding.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For the record, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) got rid of its social distance requirement way back in August 2022. But most of us were already long done with the virus; the vast majority of Americans were done with the pandemic last year.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, when the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/labor-unions-took-37-million-of-ineligible-covid-relief-from-government\/\" title=\"Labor Unions Took  Million Of Ineligible COVID Relief From Government\">federal government launched<\/a> a vaccine booster campaign last September, advising people over 50 and those with certain medical conditions to take the jab, Americans uttered a collective \u201cmeh.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAround two-thirds of adults in the United States do not plan to get updated COVID-19 booster shots soon, according to a survey conducted by the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF), a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/for-biden-white-house-covid-masks-will-never-go-away\/\" title=\"COVID and masks are here to stay in the Biden White House.\">health policy nonprofit organization<\/a>,\u201d Reuters <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/us\/two-thirds-us-adults-dont-plan-getting-covid-boosters-soon-poll-2022-09-30\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a> at the time.<\/p>\n<p>That was made clear in a Gallup poll last November. \u201cAmericans in all party groups have become more likely to say the pandemic is over since July, including increases of 12 points among Republicans, 14 points among Democrats and 10 points among independents,\u201d Gallup <a href=\"https:\/\/news.gallup.com\/poll\/404696\/pandemic-outlook-recovers-leaders-messaging-falters.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">found<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, Republicans are the only party with a majority saying the pandemic is over. Republicans are more than three times as likely as Democrats to say this, at 73% vs. 21%, while 48% of independents agree. Despite the fact that Biden has said he believes the pandemic is over, a majority of his party\u2019s faithful, 79%, do not concur.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Late last year, Biden declared, \u201cThe pandemic is over.\u201d In a bit of hilarity, Biden\u2019s staff and Dr. Anthony Fauci, who headed up the White House COVID response team, walked back the president\u2019s declaration.<\/p>\n<p>Biden did sign a bill passed by Congress that officially ended the COVID emergency on May 11. So that\u2019s gotta\u2019 be the end, right? Wrong. For Democrats, the pandemic will never end.
