As with Mr. Ramirez: You put on a coat when it’s cold outside. You wear sunglasses when it’s too bright for comfort. You put on boots when it’s muddy. But you don’t do any of those things all the time.
Smart people adapt to changing conditions. Mr. Markstein and Mr. Ramirez seem to believe that adapting to changing conditions is worth making fun of. Draw your own conclusions.
When treating diseases, the treatment often must change to meet the mutations. That is what has and is happening. And it can change daily. And might continue to change. We are told what to do, but not enough do it.
Gary, Gary, Gary………….. Science is a process, not a thing. It is a means for learning new information and using it to change our behavior. You can’t lump all statements by scientist or the CDC (a group of scientists) over a 20 month period as equally informed. Using your logic we all need to join the flat world society and forget all that we have learned since believing the world is flat.
Time to park your silly ideological views and use actual information and logic to defend your views. Fact are real and can evolve, but there are not alternative facts. Use facts to support your theories and change your theories when they are not supported by facts.
The situation changes, sometimes on a daily basis, and “Science” must adapt and adopt such new information as it becomes available.
Do not, however, be overly critical of Mr. Markstein – keep in mind that, even today, there are people that STILL believe that the earth is flat and is the center of the universe, so Gary’s “confusion” is minor in comparison.
This is a rapidly evolving threat. I would be shocked if their guidance DIDN’T change. Conservatives, who are frightened little snowflakes when it comes to change, are shocked when others actually prefer the improvements it brings.
hey gary…i truly hope you do get the vaccine…so you can continue to spew your lies…. but just in case you haven’t gotten your shots…why don’t you go to a very crowed fearfull leader’s rally and breath deeply…hey..maybe lick some boots while your at it…you are a low life so you it should be easy for you….
The CDC ended mask requirements to try and encourage people to get vaccinated. They underestimated the stupidity of the Trump cult. So they admitted they were wrong and changed. Unlike those of the Trump cult.
We have a virus that was quite possibly developed by two superpowers. If, in the best case scenario, a LEVEL 4 Bioweapons lab was unable to contain it, how can a piece of paper or cloth over one’s face contain it?

Wrong. Today’s spin says, “There was no insurrection on January 6th.” The GOP wheel is rigged for the stupid.

The question is simple. Did Gary M. get vacinated? If not he and his kindred are the reason for the change in CDC directives.

Anti-mask morons say, “It’s too complicated.” Well, for them perhaps it is, but for me, “Wear a mask when inside” seems fairly straightforward.

Very disappointing Gary. I expected some sort of leadership that respected the continued ravages of Covid. This does not cut the mustard old man.

Gary – why not make it a sailing ship’s steering wheel instead???
By your logic, you should NEVER turn it – no matter how many rocks, reefs, or icebergs are straight ahead.
Damn the CDC….full speed ahead!!!!!

The CDC was under intense pressure to end mask mandates by guess who.
