Biden's mask mania

 Red States:

Joe Biden has been vaccinated since last year. Despite that, he’s continued to push a message on wearing masks that spits in the face of science and risk probabilities. Just the other day, Biden walked through Arlington cemetery wearing a double mask, while having no one within 50 feet of him. What science prompts someone to be so performative? The answer is none.

He wasn’t done, though. Biden has now decided to take his inane mask hysteria to another level. While eating with Japanese PM Yoshihide Suga, the president sat socially distanced and double-masked for some reason.

This kind of thing just makes us look stupid on the international stage. It’s also anti-vaccine in nature. The efficacy of the vaccines is not scientifically in doubt. That doesn’t mean they are perfect, but it does mean that there’s only a 0.0075% chance of re-infection. Past that, if you manage to be one of the vanishing few who does get re-infected, your chances of death are less than getting struck by lightning. In other words, if you aren’t promoting for vaccinated people to go back to their normal lives, you are downplaying the vaccine while sending the message that it’s not worth waiting in line for.

...

Fortunately, I live in Texas where you can eat without a mask.  Having an irrational fear of being without a mask is not a sign of intelligence.
