Uh, yes. And glad to hear someone else think this. People are talking about how this represents a shift.

But at its core it is weird. I mean they have been pushing, pushing, pushing, and all of a sudden, he is like “you know we don’t have a solution - your people can call our people if you decide you need help.”

Something has happened. And he didn’t come up with this. His handlers did.

For the life of me I do not understand why they didn’t back out by withdrawing the mandates and saying something like “ omicron has changed everything - the vaccines are not stopping transmission. The unvaccinated are still to blame but we will withdraw the mandates.” And then exit as quickly as possible.

That would seem more plausible. But instead he suddenly says the equivalent of “we got nothing here - you guys do this.”

God knows I was elated at this but yes. Weird.
