Lo and behold, the mandates are no longer needed.

convenient.
The Dems are absolutely doomed except in the most blue of blueish states b/c of mandate resentment.

I'll also say, and I have absolutely nothing to back this up with, that I think it's also possible the CDC and other decision makers looked at Omicron and said "here's a highly transmissible, not as lethal variant" and thought it might be a good idea to remove the mandates, overcome the anti-vaxxers and nudge us toward herd immunity. The next variant could be much worse.
