U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy suggested parents wear masks at home with their kids to better protect them against COVID-19, and not surprisingly, critics had a field day.
“There are no words,” Arizona congressman Andy Biggs tweeted above a video of Murthy’s comments.
“Cowardly and pathetic,” added Christopher Bedford, senior editor of The Federalist.
Murthy’s comments came during an appearance on MSNBC.
“If you happen to have a lot of interaction with folks who are unvaccinated, let’s say you’re a parent like me who has young children at home who are not vaccinated, that’s a circumstance where we’re being extra cautious and wearing that mask even if you’re fully vaccinated, wearing it outside, when you’re in indoor public locations, is an extra step to protecting those at home,” he said.
This follows advice from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention earlier in the week, stating that vaccinated individuals in certain areas with “high” or “substantial” coronavirus transmission rates return to wearing masks indoors.
“The time for government mask mandates is over — now is the time for personal responsibility,” Texas Gov. Greg Abbott tweeted. “In May, I signed an executive order prohibiting mask mandates by gov’t entities. Every Texan has the right to choose whether they will wear a mask or have their children wear masks.”
Abbott has already shot down a request from the San Antonio mayor and a judge to enforce mask requirements in schools and government offices.
Now, Murthy is suggesting people wear them in their own homes.
Sheep
It’s beyond crazy that anyone is still taking any of these people seriously anymore.
I sure as shit am not and have not been since last year. These scare tactics they have been deploying since last year are strictly for power purposes. If everyone is scared they can more easily justify these trillions of dollars they keep spending and want to continue to spend. The bill they are trying to pass now is stalling thank god because of Kristen Sinema and Joe Manchin so the dems are trying to scare shit out of all the normies and hope they can put pressure on those two. The delta variant is more contagious supposedly but way less lethal. I believe that 6 people died in New York from COVID yesterday. The death numbers are so low now that they aren’t talking about them anymore. They are only talking about positive tests now because those are up a bit but again who gives a shit if they go up if no one is dying. Moral of the story, don’t believe a word out of the cdc or this administration they are fucking liars period.
That’s right. If we tracked positive tests for every cold, sinus infection, bronchitis, strep throat, flu, etc like we have done with Covid everyone would want to live in a bubble. The Nazi’s act like people are falling out in the streets like a zombie apocalypses. Lame.
Why is the NFL allowed to do any mask/vax mandates in TX or FLA?
Govs in both states should lock up their stadiums and practice facilities until they comply with state law.
Good point. I’d love to see that.
It would be awesome if the two strong red states would stand up to the tyrannical NFL.
Sounds like this Surgeon General and Jill Biden have the same doctorate
Tyrannical nonsense. It’s past time for these assclowns to be frogmarched to the town square and tarred and feathered, placed in stocks, and forced to wear two masks in the sweltering heat for the next year.
what’s the word I’m looking for, DOUCHE.
and why isn’t twitter shutting this goat fucker down?
This messaging is all over the place I think people are just ignoring these folks no one really seems to know at least from day to day amazing stuff smh
Maybe government morons keep throwing idiotic messaging out to keep citizens from talking about serious problems confronting our country,southern border,inflation,President and VP not capable of carrying out their duties,etc.
You are correct. Unfortunately too many lemmings buy the bullshit hook line and sinker and all the major fuckups the Biden administration keeps compounding get swept under the rug.
Truth
Most of the Democratic Party is fine with being lied to. Some of them wouldn’t admit this – but in a strange way they prefer it.
Not just the Democratic Party, but people in general. Ignorance is bliss.
Who picked these people!
really?!
If you took this guy, Psaki, Walensky, and Fauci and put them in a room with a giant piece of paper on the floor and the paper was enscribed with the words “Same Page” and you asked them what do you think you should do next, they would all walk off in different directions.
they are AKA, “Useful Idiots”…
