Looking at a few counties in the North Florida region it is clear mask mandates have little correlation to reduced Covid cases. However Leon County will not repeal their mask orders until the CDC overlords give them the green light to do so.
Is it true that Dr. Fauci facilitated millions of dollars to the Wuhan Clinic under Obama? I guess the Democrats got their money's worth.
And with the CDC saying vaccinated individuals can toss their masks into the trash can, our Illustrious county commissioners are still mandating masks. Why do you keep voting for Democrats.
Don't get too excited the Mutants are coming!
