Britt Hume Drops a Truth Bomb on Dems Dropping Mask Mandates: ‘It’s Not the Science That’s Changed, It’s the Politics’

During a segment on his show last night Tucker Carlson asked Britt Hume if he thought it odd that so many Democrat leaders have changed or modified their state’s mask mandated seemingly all at once.

“Yeah, it’s not the science that has changed, it’s the politics, and the political winds are killing them so strongly that I think the democratic politicians can see that what has happened, they want out from under these mask mandates. Parents are up in arms about them and understandably so,” Hume said.

“Coupled with this whole issue has been that the science that backs up masks for everybody has never been very strong. Only a couple of studies, and they were basically inconclusive at best.”

“But there really is no science at all of any legitimacy that says that it is a good idea and necessary for children, who are the least vulnerable population in the country, to wear masks,” Hume added. “And yet it has gone on all this time. There was a refusal to recognize the harms being done to children. We kept hearing planned assurances that kids are adaptable and adjustable and everything is going to be fine, and now of course, people are saying it is not working out that way, that there are serious problems, so the mask mandates are now on the way out.”

Tucker Carlson then laid the blame for the damage done to our society from mandates and lockdowns where it belongs, with Democrats, and asked Hume if he thought changing course will save the Dems in November.

The epidemiologists basically have one job: to fight the disease. But the side effects, the collateral damage, that is not their responsibility.”

“Epidemiologists aren’t responsible for the U.S. economy, children’s education, children’s mental health, not responsible for cancer screenings that got missed because people could not go out and all the rest of it. Mistake that was made was making them the only advice that was really listened to for a long time time, and there is a poll out now about whether to move on or not. Majorities, huge majorities of independents and Republicans, adding up to something like 70% of the population, thinks we should. It appears only a minority of Democrats want restrictions to continue. They have been alarmists all...
