| What we have done to children, what the experts... | |
| I should write a column on good things, good lessons to learn from the last year. | |
| One of them would be that you need contempt for the term experts. | |
| Contempt. | |
| As soon as they give advice, you must assume they're a fool. | |
| I don't know why. | |
| Well, I do know why. | |
| I take it back. | |
| Experts confuse expertise with wisdom. | |
| They are not related, and so you are likely to get advice from a fool who happens to be an expert in some narrow arena of science, or whatever it might be. | |
| The commander-in-chief of the U.S. Armed Forces is a civilian. | |
| One who may have never even served in the armed forces. | |
| Called the President of the United States. | |
| That's why they salute him. | |
| He is above every general. | |
| Why did we have that done? | |
| Why aren't experts on the military in charge of the military? | |
| Ah. | |
| That was the brilliant insight of the founders. | |
| Not to allow that. | |
| But we allow it in medicine. | |
| The CDC maintains that vaccinated adults who work at these camps should continue to be masked. | |
| And of course, kids should wear masks too. | |
| Why would you send your kid to a camp where they had to be masked? | |
| It's unfair to your kid. | |
| CDC is a crappy organization. | |
| I am telling you, I've never said this. | |
| This is all new, do you understand? | |
| I never, ever thought this way. | |
| It's painful to realize the CDC is morally and intellectually worthless. | |
| Worthless. | |
| Worse than worthless. | |
| Damaging. | |
| The medical establishment has disgraced itself over the course of the last year. | |
| Not just the CDC. These people making these absurd calls will be sitting in air-conditioned offices while your children and their underpaid counselor will be needlessly sweating under their masks, playing color war in 90-degree weather. | |
| Don't listen to them. | |
| Also last week, the CDC finally released updated guidance for vaccinated people. | |
| Vaccinated people, except apparently summer camp counselors, can now dine outdoors and gather maskless in small groups outside. | |
| Most sane people have been doing this for a while. | |
| Yep, like me from the very beginning. | |
| Last Sunday, national virus guru Dr. Anthony Fauci told CNN, the risk when you're outdoors... | |
| Which we have been saying all along is extremely low. | |
| All along? | |
| Ha! | |
| Ha! | |
| Oh my God, what a lie. | |
| And the writer in the New York Post says, they've been saying that all along? | |
| No, of course they haven't. | |
| In fact, Fauci has said many times the importance of masking even outdoors. | |
| Who could forget him standing on a pitcher's mound last spring, 90 feet from the nearest person still wearing his mask? | |
| Remember that? | |
| Yeah. | |
| That's why it's so important to now tune out Fauci and the CDC. Their misinformation and constant flip-flops are causing a societal harm. | |
| Don't believe it? | |
| Last Friday, CDC boss Dr. Rochelle Walensky said the CDC recommends that... | |
| Pregnant people receive the COVID-19 vaccine. | |
| On Monday, the CDC seemed to walk back her comments, noting the agency's recommendation remains simply that pregnant people are eligible and can receive a COVID-19. | |
| Why would she, by the way, notice pregnant people? | |
| Notice that? | |
| How sick? | |
| How sick the leftist germ is? | |
| Is it pervasive? | |
| The head of the CDC will not say pregnant women. | |
| Did you notice that? | |
| Pregnant people. | |
| Yes, including men. | |
| Pregnant men or women. | |
| Why didn't she say that? | |
| Because the calls to have her removed from her position would be quite loud and numerous. | |
| So she sneaked in. | |
| Pregnant people. |
