Meanwhile on CNN…

NIH Director Francis Collins on Tuesday said parents should wear masks at home in front of their unvaccinated children.

Collins conceded that it “may sound weird” that people should wear masks in their homes, but he advised it anyway.

“Parents of unvaccinated kids should be thoughtful about this and the recommendation is to wear masks [at home] as well,” Collins said. “I know that’s uncomfortable. I know it seems weird but it is the best way to protect your kids.”

Even if you assume his statement about "protecting the kids" is true, it's a rather amazing statement in terms of what it says about his thought processes. He clearly isn't even considering any other factor that may be affected by parents having to wear masks around kids. Human contact, speech, affection, teaching, even how willing parents will be to spend time around their kids -- he didn't consider any of that. The only factor he considered in making that recommendation was the possibility of transmitting Covid, as if that is the only consideration in life that matters any more.

To me, that is the fatal flaw in outsourcing decision-making on masks to these doctors. They have complete blinders on, and never consider the impact of factors outside of their particular speciality.

Masks are as useless as a chain link fence built to keep mosquitoes out of your yard.
