The thread is about MASKS. I don’t know if the guy is phobic about them or not, but I wish he would demonstrate leadership by wearing them. But truthfully, politicians lie. I don’t like that, but that doesn’t stop it from happening. It seems to be a universal constant. There may be an exception to that, but I have yet to find one. I expected better from the public health people.

But that’s all beside the point. I made the comment that it was BAD POLICY and it was. Do you deny that? Because excusing bad behavior by pointing out other bad behavior does not justify bad policy.

i agree that the CDC should have been more straight forward with why they recommend what they did at the time. But the reaction among many seems a bit over the top and politically convenient. As for politicians lying...current WH occupant has no peer. It’s non stop and corrosive to a free society. Don’t like the facts; deem
them fake. Don’t like the results of an election; declare it invalid.

i don’t give the north end of a southbound rat about ‘the reactions of many.’ Anybody stupid enough to give naysayers this clear a shot at them has sacrificed their own credibility. The CDC people did it to themselves. One did anyway.
