In the annals of manufactured scandals by TV networks, one of the lamest examples was Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ telling high school students at an event of his: “You do not have to wear those masks. I mean, please take them off. Honestly, it’s not doing anything, and we’ve got to stop this COVID theater.”
“NBC Nightly News” tried to make this a story for not just one night, but two. It’s lame because it came after everyone took off their masks for the State of the Union address, after the “nonpartisan” Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ruled against mask mandates just a few days before President Joe Biden’s big speech.
It’s also lame because days before, NBC’s own “Saturday Night Live” aired a skit satirizing urban liberals who worried that maybe they had been wrong about the spread of COVID-19. In the skit, one woman said she read an article, and her husband was trying to stop her from talking about it.
“It was in Bloomberg, and I thought it was interesting … it was just saying how mask mandates had, I don’t know, little to no effect on COVID,” she said. Then they all made faces of horror for laughs.
This article is real. Faye Flam is a Bloomberg Opinion columnist and host of the podcast “Follow the Science.” She wrote: “Masks have been the most visible part of America’s pandemic response, but one of the least consequential.” And: “There’s no avoiding it: The benefits of universal masking have been difficult to quantify.”
Republicans like DeSantis who have opposed mask mandates, especially for children in schools, have been painted as evil. He’s “DeathSantis”; he’s “the DeSantis variant”; he leads a “death cult.”

Ping.
The fifth paragraph includes a couple quotes from a Bloomberg article, so if you need to clip out paragraphs 5, 6 and 7 because of the copyright issue, go right ahead.
The great thing about getting old is learning how they do it.
Reagan was hitler, Bush sr was hitler, McCain was hitler, W was hitler, even white bread Romney and his binders of women were hitler, trump was hitler and soo desantis will be hitler
nbc is the face of disinformation.
Masks work in only ONE STATE in the United States, and that state is Florida. They are useless in the other 49 states.
Therefore, DeSantis wants to kill children in Florida.
Is Faye Flam married to Flim?
The media hates anyone who will give America a fighting chance.
NBC should be understood as the voice of Communist China
not in any sort of figurative sense either
Why should 6-year-olds be taught about sex by non-parents?
Pedophiles.
This is an anti-grooming bill.
In California you have not had to wear a mask anywhere since last Friday.
I was at WalMart and a grocery store today.
About 1/3rd or more were STILL wearing a mask. I saw walmart and grocery store workers with and without masks.
I was at a Lowes hardware store too and hardly anyone was wearing a mask.
This morning I saw 2 of my neighbors wearing a mask....
Too many zombies still walking around.
Most of us working there feel it's going to be permanent.
If they overturn cms covid rules, then obamas mandatory flu vax has to go.
No way they are overturning any of his genius. They are fully committed to this nonsense.
However, many of us are starting to turn to alternative care. Here is me hoping i can land a job in the alternative care world.
I left one state that was especially insane.. i tucked this note into the desk of the manager taking my place.
C.S. Lewis, God in the Dock: Essays on Theology (Making of Modern Theology)
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be “cured” against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.

Not in MY Walmart!
I’m away from the urban Indianapolis. We’re hicks!
You get into the more upscale areas and you’ll find more masks.

Doom on these bloody propagandists. Domesticis hostibus.
Anyone who does NOT bow . . .
Amazingly, it’s about the same here in Pensacola, FL, even though there hasn’t been a mask mandate in ages down here.
I’m kinda surprised that Gayvin lifted your mandate, since he survived recall by a large-ish percentage.
Let me guess: you left Maryland, just like I did last November.
