He may be a professor at Yale, but I trust his opinion no more than I do Fauci's. Walensky's or Karen of the grocery aisle’s

Mark D. Siegel: at least with his mask off, you can see his lips moving, and know that he’s lying

Please, Governor Lamont, mandate masks

Connecticut residents are understandably tired of wearing masks, and some complain that mandates impinge on their personal liberties. My colleagues and I understand the fatigue and recognize the widespread frustration as the pandemic enters its third year with no sign of letting up. But if we wish to regain our freedoms — to dine out again and to see each other’s faces again — the best thing we can do is come together to protect one another and bring this surge to a close. Masks prevent disease by protecting wearers from inhaling SARS-CoV-2 into their lungs.

Lie: The hallmark of Omicron is that it does not enter the lungs.

They also decrease spread by preventing infected people from exhaling virus into the air.

Evidence? Anyone? Anyone? Buehler?

In the hierarchy of masks, surgical masks are better than cloth because they have an electrostatic charge that helps capture the virus. KN94, KN95 and medical grade N95 masks are even more effective because they fit snugly over the face, preventing air movement through the sides. My colleagues and I have spent countless hours wearing N95s at the bedside of COVID patients and therefore facing little risk of infection. The risk is far greater in community spaces such as indoor restaurants and bars, stores, supermarkets and gyms, where mask-wearing is inconsistent.

And a mask mandate would correct that how?

… Hundreds of thousands of people remain vulnerable to COVID because they’re too young to be vaccinated, immunocompromised, or still refuse the shot despite its demonstrated safety and ability to prevent serious illness. Even among the fully vaccinated, many Connecticut residents have yet to receive booster shots, leaving them vulnerable to breakthrough infections, which can still spread disease.

Tell that to AOC and Savanna Guthrie, you putz.

Connecticut faces a choice in the weeks ahead. Without a statewide mask mandate, hospitals may be pushed past their breaking point, subjecting state residents to needless suffering and death as unmasked individuals continue to contract and spread disease.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. Gov. Lamont could issue a mandate tomorrow. He could use his authority to bring the latest surge to a more rapid end. He could choose health over politics.

Hahahaha

And here’s the good Dr. Siegel on December 22, boasting of a claimed superior knowledge he simply doesn’t have:

[W]e know how to prevent the deadly virus from spreading, and yet we're not doing everything in our power to keep it from happening.”

Thanks, doc – I’ll see you in the frozen foods section.
