President Joe Biden continues to talk about how much his administration “follows the science.” Yet in spite of the science, the media panic over the delta variant is driving him back into the arms of clearly unnecessary mask mandates.

The rejection of science and rationality is most prominent in the administration’s stance on schools. Biden said that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is going to advise that children under the age of 12 wear masks during school. This is compounded by Dr. Anthony Fauci’s support for mask mandates for children over the age of 2 and White House press secretary Jen Psaki saying it’s “greatly concerning” that Florida is not going to require children to wear masks in schools.
