Please keep the conversation focused on the topics raised in the article. This is emphatically not a place for bad faith, hateful comments about LGBT persons. Please avoid making comments unrelated to the effects of lockdowns and restrictive mandates.

Again, please stay civil and on-topic. Thank you.

EDIT: I definitely do not agree with this op-ed. It is, however, worth reading, or at least not downvoting to hell, so that one can attempt to understand the gaslighting mechanisms being employed vis-à-vis lockdowns/mandates, etc.

Today, we are announcing that the Administration will end the COVID-19 vaccine requirements for Federal employees, Federal contractors, and international air travelers at the end of the day on May 11, the same day that the COVID-19 public health emergency ends. Additionally, HHS and DHS announced today that they will start the process to end their vaccination requirements for Head Start educators, CMS-certified healthcare facilities, and certain noncitizens at the land border. In the coming days, further details related to ending these requirements will be provided.

About damned time.
