“Why is UC Berkeley mandating masks?” Because people who are waiting for the Messiah are full of fear and hatred of Americans and Christians. Any other questions? John Searle, Barry Stroud, and Hannah Ginsborg are leaders at UCB.
The city of Berkeley is a wonderful town with good coffee shops and bookstores. UCB is a superb university with twenty departments in the top ten in the country. Sadly, a focus on the Lord and an understanding of the writings of George Berkeley (1685-1753) leads UCB staff to become selfish and not cool. Of course, many people in epidemiology at Cal quietly know that vaccines and masks are useless.
