“The CDC does not mandate anything,” says Dr. Anthony Fauci. But if a Covid surge leads to a recommendation that people wear masks, “I hope they would abide by the recommendation and take into account the risks to themselves and to their families. We are not talking about forcing anybody to do anything.”

      Nah. What youre doing is darvo and tone policing. The correct thing to do in a global pandemic is mandate masks. The people in charge who did so did the correct thing. The mask toddlers who threw a tantrum need not be pandered to. They would have thrown a fit no matter the language used.

      You sure? Are you seeing the reaction to a potential change to the USDA’s alcohol advice?

      These people have an obsession with being treaded on.

        Humans are geared for conflict and our minds are both powerful enough and stupid enough to create it if none exist. In America that’s morphed into "if you tell me what to do I’m being oppressed " regardless of circumstance
