I think the nuance here is appropriate.
One side politicized it and is actively encouraging anti-vax and mass infection. No doubt. None of that is good.
While DeSantis is enacting these things, as you say, his kids are homeschooled and the public tours of his house(the Governor's mansion) were cancelled for years and now only allowed when him and his family aren't there. As with many politicians he's a hypocrite.
All of that is true.
The other side capitulated. Biden said it's over. Jha says he lives life like 2019. Becerra said it's over. "You have the tools" when we really don't and they're about to get really expensive to boot. The CDC under Biden's a total mess.
That's true, too.
Neither "side" has the moral high ground here. I don't think there's any need to defend *any* of them here. They all failed public health.
@BE @barney @danvanmoll Republicans have been worse without a doubt, but let's not let Biden off the hook that easily for declaring the pandemic over. Or for his CDC leader failing to mention masks. Or that the CDC continues to push that useless COmmunity Levels map rather than the more vital and useful Transmission Map. There is plenty of blame to go around, and while I agree Trump, DeSantis and others in the GOP have been particularly awful, that doesn't make every Dem a hero by comparison.
