Lemon revealed that he does not feel that he has to wear a mask around those whom he knows have been fully vaccinated.<\/p>\n<p>Lemon\u2019s comments came during the hand-off of his show to fellow CNN host Chris Cuomo at 10 p.m. Monday night.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m kind of jealous you\u2019ve got to spend [Mother\u2019s Day] with your mom,\u201d Lemon told Cuomo, \u201cBecause I would love to spend it with my mom. But my mom won\u2019t leave [her home].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe is fully vaccinated, Chris,\u201d Lemon continued before addressing his audience, and especially his mom:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"17\">\n<p><em>We are saying to you, if you are fully vaccinated, you don\u2019t have to wear a mask outside. If you want to travel, you can. Wear a mask, follow the protocols. But it is 99.99 [or] whatever percent chance that you won\u2019t get the COVID \u2014 you won\u2019t get COVID. You should trust in that science, as well. \u2026 If you are going to say, I believe in the science and the scientists, then now on this side of the pandemic, then you must believe in the science and scientists, as well.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Lemon gently referenced his mother\u2019s age before saying he\u2019s ready for life to return to the pre-pandemic standards after widespread vaccinations. \u201cI want to live my life. I want to see my loved ones. So, can we get back to some semblance of normalcy?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n<p>His mother may fear for her safety, but the media have been replete with articles by people who have thrived during the COVID-19 lockdowns and do not want its extraordinary conditions to end.<\/p>\n<p>In March, Medium <a href=\"https:\/\/elemental.medium.com\/the-side-of-me-that-doesnt-want-the-pandemic-to-end-e362a6b07d4f\">published<\/a> an article titled, \u201cThe Side of Me That Doesn\u2019t Want the Pandemic to End.\u201d\u00a0Later in the month, Yahoo News republished an op-ed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/lifestyle\/aspects-pandemic-don-t-want-044317410.html\">stating<\/a>, \u201cThere Are Some Aspects Of The Pandemic I Don\u2019t Want To End.\u201d BuzzFeed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzfeednews.com\/article\/shannonkeating\/post-pandemic-anxiety\">proclaimed<\/a> that a return to normal life \u201cfor many people\u201d isn\u2019t \u201ca good thing.\u201d CNBC <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/03\/20\/why-some-are-averse-to-return-to-normal-post-covid.html\">explained<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"13\">\n<p><em>For some, this comes from an extreme fear of the disease. For others, it\u2019s about the anxiety that comes with the idea of reacclimating into society. Others, meanwhile, have found that the pandemic has brought about positive changes in their lives, and they\u2019re afraid of losing what they\u2019ve gained.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Yet as the vaccine rolled out, the fear continued unabated. In April, New York Magazine posted a lengthy article <a href=\"https:\/\/nymag.com\/intelligencer\/2021\/04\/covid-19-and-the-people-who-dont-want-to-return-to-normalcy.html\">profiling<\/a> \u201cThe People Who Don\u2019t Want to Return to Normalcy.\u201d And last week, The Atlantic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/politics\/archive\/2021\/05\/liberals-covid-19-science-denial-lockdown\/618780\/\">exposed<\/a> \u201cThe Liberals Who Can\u2019t Quit Lockdown,\u201d noting that \u201csome liberal policy makers have left scientific evidence behind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is real,\u201d Lemon said on Monday night. \u201cPeople are having trouble reemerging into society after COVID-19 lockdowns.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Why would anyone want to live in the \u201cnew normal\u201d? Chris Cuomo blamed the narrative of continued coercion and control emanating from Dr. Anthony Fauci and the Biden administration\u2019s CDC.<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"15\">\n<p><em>Cuomo: This messaging about the vaccine has not been good enough. They still make you feel like it\u2019s not like every other vaccine that you\u2019ve ever had in your life where, you may still get it, [but] you should still wear a mask; you can still have enough to be contagious; you can still spread it.\u00a0You know, I get why people like your mom and my mom did not feel the confidence that we were supposed to have in getting this vaccine.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Lemon: Yes, messaging.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Cuomo: And I still don\u2019t think they are allowing these numbers and the science to rule, and they are giving people vaccines even more latitude.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Lemon: Yes.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Lemon concluded by telling audience members who were afraid to leave the house: \u201cYou\u2019ve got to believe in the science. You\u2019ve got to believe in facts. And you\u2019ve got to believe in reality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We welcome Don Lemon\u2019s statement that facts don\u2019t care about your feelings. We hope it informs the rest of his reporting. And we hope he gets to hug his mother soon.<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
