   We slammed Gov. Andrew Cuomo the other day for his refusal to simply   
   accept the CDC guidelines and greatly loosen New York’s mask mandates, but   
   the sad fact is that he’s hardly alone.   
      
   California Gov. Gavin Newsom is only talking about lifting his mandate by   
   June 15, when he means the state to reopen. New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy is   
   keeping his mandate “as we continue to work toward our vaccination goals,”   
   which makes no sense at all: Masks are pointless for those who’ve been   
   jabbed, and the potential freedom to go unmasked is actually a great   
   incentive to get vaccinated.   
      
   And Speaker Nancy Pelosi is retaining her must-mask rule for the House   
   floor, although not for members’ offices, on the grounds that some   
   representatives may not be vaccinated (though they’ve all had the   
   opportunity for months). Is it just about what the cameras show?   
      
   These reek of a bizarre partisan overreaction: Conservatives made a big   
   show of resenting masking as some sort of government excess; in response,   
   liberals seem to have taken mask-wearing as (in the words of Reason’s   
   Robby Soave) “the MAGA hat for Team Blue.”   
      
   On either extreme, science and common sense have gone out the window. For   
   most of the last year, masking indoors or out seemed a basic precaution to   
   reduce COVID spread. Eventually (long before the CDC admitted it, sigh),   
   it became apparent that outdoor transmission is close to zero — so   
   continued outdoor masking and outdoor-mask mandates were simply a fetish.   
      
   And the vaccinated are neither likely to contract the bug nor spread it in   
   the remote chance they still get infected. So there’s now zero reason to   
   require the tens of millions who’ve been jabbed to mask up, even indoors.   
      
   And if any member of Congress has refused to get jabbed, the risk is on   
   her — the sensible representatives would be safe without the speaker’s   
   mandate. (Heck, Nancy, it might even increase your so-thin majority. . .)   
      
   Sorry, folks: Maybe in your mind you’re signaling some refusal to identify   
   as a Trump supporter, but in reality you’re just living in the past or   
   playing a self-defeating kind of partisan politics, which is particularly   
   obscene for governors like Cuomo who insist they’re “following the   
   science” even when the science says otherwise.   
      
   Please: Get over it.

   fiasco, President Trump.
