Governor, please, stop it! Stop your nonsensical rationales and false claims about vaccinations and reopening schools. Stop playing us for fools.

There is a lot you and California can be proud of. As you’ve correctly noted, our state now has the lowest rate of positive coronavirus tests in the nation. At least for now, we’re not seeing the surges experienced in the upper Midwest and the Northeast.

You’ve also had a lot to contend with. As many, like us, have urged you during the pandemic to be more aggressive in your policies to stem the spread of the virus, too many Californians have ignored and fought the orders you and local health officials have put in place.
