Biden's CDC chief delivers grim public service message with bizarre continuous smile
American Thinker ^ | Feb 23, 2021 | Monica Showalter

Posted on 02/23/2021 8:22:48 PM PST by upchuck

The unmasked woman with the strange, smirking, mirthless grin, making that grim message about COVID having no end in sight and calling for everyone to wear a mask is Biden's appointment to the Centers for Disease Control, Dr. Rochelle Walensky.

Who the heck delivers news like that with that bizarre kind of extended smile? And worse still, the head bobbing, and that flippant giggly ending? That's the image she wants to project as the calm, knowledgable, trustworthy top doctor? Even Dr. Anthony Fauci was pretty good at putting that act on. Her strange smile suggests that apparently she thinks her audience is stupid.

Instead of seeming like someone medically trustworthy, she comes off as kind of a screwball commercial actor, insincere but grinning, or else a lowly customer service representative spouting the company line, or worst of all, maybe someone who likes the sort of situation she's touting with a commercial interest in permanent lockdowns.

That's bad, because it's what the public already is suspecting.

It's fine and dandy to mouth well-known platitudes about wearing masks for a public service video. But it's also late to the party, given that the public already doing it, suggesting someone just a little out of touch. After all, Americans are bombarded with these messages, every billboard near a hospital has one and every television set blares them, but to do it once more, this time with that huge grin, that bobbing head, and that long, continuous unstopping wide open smile, as if this were the happiest thing in the world instead of a failure of public health, is kind of clown-creepy. At a minimum, it's different.

It's in Q&A format. Last question asked of her is, "What the biggest COVID-19 myth you would like to get rid of right now?"
Her response, "That masking doesn't work."

Which is kind of interesting since the agency she's heading has said on at least three occasions that masks don't stop the China virus:

CDC Admits: No Conclusive Evidence Cloth Masks Work Against COVID 10/29/20

CDC Admits "At No Time Has CDC Guidance Suggested that Masks Were Intended to Protect the Wearers" 10/14/20

The CDC Accidentally Admits Cloth Masks Are Not Effective 9/10/20

Conservatives and the GOPe need to drop the mask stuff and hammer-home on school closures as Xiden hides behind the teachers unions. The corrupt media will always make it about Trump, Ted Cruz, people in Anytown USA refusing to wear masks while American children fall even further behind. China has now already gained an entire year on the US just by continuing to actually educate their kids.

I want to say that the children are in charge now. But that’s not quite descriptive enough. It’s better to say that the silly and often quick-to-anger children are in charge now.

Yes, you are right. That’s a much better description of the Democrats who are in power now. You can reason with silly children. You can reason with angry children. But you cannot reason with psycho children.

That it’s really a “pandemic” and we need to lockdown and mask up to stop it.

She smiling because she believes that COVID represents power over people. Good fascists love that.

I remember reading lots of articles during the ‘90s speculating what the kids on Ritalin and other mood-altering drugs might be like when they grew up.

I think we’re getting a good idea.

The constant mask wearing is causing cases of bacterial pneumonia to increase dramatically. Two of my parents best friends got very sick and has pemanent lung damage; one of them died. They were both habitual mask wearers who were scared to death of getting Covid.

Exactly. It's a movie. Think Truman Show. We're ALL Truman now.

A bizarre smile is akin to the sun rising at 3 AM. Scripted.

Even Dr. Anthony Fauci was pretty good at putting that act on.

I disagree with the author on this. Fauci has been smiling, laughing and generally yucking it up since his first briefings with the Trump-Pence team last year. All while Trump, Pence and every other participant seemed to struggle to not be too dour about what seemed at the time to be a very serious crisis.

Fauci seemed creepily gleeful from day one to me.
