(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) It has been announced that some of Washington DC’s COVID restrictions and mandates are set to expire on Feb, 15, only a month after they were implemented.
The vaccination mandate would be lifted, while the masking mandate would start being phased out starting on March 1, according to The Post Millennial.
Businesses will be allowed to keep vaccination requirements if they choose to do so.
While it is not clear what spurred this unexpected change, it is speculated that local businesses got the ear of Mayor Murial Boswer, saying they were losing money and the mandates needed to end.
Of course, the city of DC had been enforcing the mandates for the past month with panache, causing several problems for the restaurants that opposed the mandates.
Big Board, a veteran-owned restaurant that defied the mandates, had its liquor license pulled.
The DC government has spent the last few weeks trying to shut down a veteran-owned small business @thebigboarddc for not complying with the vax mandate only to turn around and remove it 5 seconds later https://t.co/rUSaSVSuNO

The only people that do not get to breathe free, fresh air are the children of DC public schools, where mask mandates will remain until public school teachers have every one of their wishes fulfilled.
Will anyone ask the mayor why children still need to be masked when they are at lowest risk for a disease that is almost gone anyway?

Unmask the kids bowow, it will be easier to identify the looters and carjackers

Her face has never seen the inside of a useless mask, this is only for the serfs and anyone dumb enough to vote for her
