CNN medical expert says we can ease up on mandates, because 'the science has changed'

Shameless

According to CNN’s medical expert Dr. Leana Wen, we can all relax a bit when it comes to draconian COVID restrictions because, you know, "the science has changed."

CNN's Anderson Cooper shared a video clip on Twitter Monday night, in which Wen argued in favor of lifting some pandemic restrictions and shifting the decision to wear masks from government mandates to individual choice.

"Circumstances have changed. Case counts are declining. Also, the science has changed," Wen said.

Wait, what happened to "don't question the science"? Will Wen or CNN get fact-checked by the social media overlords? And isn't it interesting that, as Democrats quake in the path of oncoming midterm elections, the narrative has conveniently shifted — and all on the same day?

This is truly maddening. Isn't this what the "science deniers," "misinformation spreaders," and "fringe scientists" (ahem, Joe Rogan's podcast) have been smeared, discredited, and canceled for saying all along? Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said it best: "The medical science on forced masking children didn’t change — the political science did."

And as always, Twitter can be counted on to weigh in:
