Mandates don’t work. But don’t just take my word for it. This is the position adopted by
The High Priest of Lockdowns and Mask Mandates
Dr. Anthony Fauci
who on Dec. 1, 2020, said mitigation efforts have
NO EFFECT
on the course of Covid.

Fauci was asked directly (at 35:00) why several states with different mitigation schemes and different mandates all move in unison with respect to cases. Fauci’s response was that “once you get things really bad…people do start mitigating.”

The importance of this statement cannot be understated. Fauci (arguably the chief architect of our national response to Covid) believes that whether you implement restrictions or whether you allow people to make their own decisions:
The outcome is the same.

Of course, Fauci had to answer this way. If he said Covid is following a natural course, then he'd have to admit mitigation isn’t effective. That would cut to his core, destroy his credibility, & basically make him guilty of promoting societal suicide.
He has a lot to lose.

Therefore, in Fauci’s mind, mitigation must be effective and it is the only way Covid can be slowed absent a vaccine.
He suffers from the Illusion of Control.

So when states start to turn the corner, for Fauci it must be because of mitigation. And where mitigation was seemingly absent, such as in South Dakota where there was never a state mask mandate, the only logical conclusion is that there must be unseen, secret mitigation.

The best part of this is whether you are Fauci and believe all downturns are due to mitigation, or you believe that the disease is simply taking a natural course, the result is the same:
government mandates are ineffective.
Team Apocalypse and Team Reason agree!

The fact Fauci possesses the cognitive dissonance to not recognize the implications of his belief system is amazing, yet not unexpected in a high level career bureaucrat.
But if this is what it takes, let’s follow Fauci and end all mandates.

Side note: The question to Fauci was fantastic, but the reporter @chrisvanderveen who asked it then completely dropped the ball by not understanding the repercussions of Fauci's position. In fact, he went on to parrot Fauci's answer without ever discussing its implications.
