Governor Ron DeSantis just took to Twitter to start fighting back against this false narrative Democrats are beginning to push over the end of pandemic restrictions:
From the onset of the pandemic, corporate media outlets were advocating for lockdowns, school closures, and forced masking of children.
Two years later? The facts show lockdowns didn't work, masks didn't reduce spread, and that Democrats followed politics – not science.

Even worse, our school children were used as pawns in their political games.
The legacy media will try to whitewash the Left’s failures and hypocrisy. Don't let them just move on to the next narrative.

I love that he tweeted this before Biden’s White House Covid briefing and he’s absolutely right about it. Florida is the shining example that these lockdowns and masking mandates weren’t necessary. And as I continually point out, that’s saying something given the large amount of seniors in Florida.
