    Democratic narrative

    The ruling was not a legal decision but a political one.

The politicization of the legal system is putting public health at risk.

This decision is a mistake, especially as COVID cases have decreased dramatically since Jan. and the less-lethal Omicron variant is still the dominant strain.
