That decision has garnered both praise and scorn from the public toward Dr. Cody
hile millions of vaccinated people across the Bay Area can now leave their masks behind, those in Santa Clara County must continue to don theirs in most public settings. And that’s no doubt got many of them ticked off again at the county’s top health officer, Dr. Sara Cody.
But Cody, whose hard stance has drawn both praise and scorn, isn’t budging, even after county Supervisor Cindy Chavez cracked the county’s typically united front against COVID-19 by publicly questioning an earlier public health mandate.
“I do want to better understand, philosophically, the approach to the health orders,” Chavez told Cody at a recent Board of Supervisors meeting. “And in particular, what I am concerned about, and I have raised this at a number of meetings, is just the difference between the state orders and what’s happening locally and the level of stress and confusion that I believe it’s causing.”
Chavez had questioned the county’s mandate that all front-line employees must have booster shots and those with religious or medical exemptions are to be reassigned or disciplined. She expressed “concern about the way (the county) is addressing this relative to the science.”
In an interview this week, Cody acknowledged her orders can be viewed as government overreach, even by people who take the danger of COVID-19 seriously and do all the right things to avoid it.

She has an MD from Yale, and went to undergrad at Stanford.
“...with Cody leading the charge in ordering the first stay-home orders in the nation in March 2020”
The result of her actions?
Silicon Valley’s towns still look like ghost towns. The roads are at maybe half their normal traffic. Storefronts are boarded up all over the place. Many downtowns are dead. Restaurants are still closing up. People still have fear in their faces. 99.9% of people walk around all masked up. I saw people yesterday up on Skyline, wind blowing about 40 mph, and they STILL had their masks on!
You can’t be too careful because it is well known that the atmosphere has about 10% poison COVID gas in it.
She should escalate and go “full brown bag”.
That just goes to show you that politics controls medicine.
Also Dr. plushbottom, how about mitigating your comobidity risk and dropping some weight-
In any area where they use stupid excuses to keep wearing masks, I would be on the look out for upcoming BLM and Antifa riots.
