Opinion: Lesson from the COVID pandemic: don’t forget about common sense and personal autonomy
Two years ago, Dr. Anthony Fauci called for “common sense” in an effort to get Americans to wear not one, but two face masks to slow the spread of COVID.
Of course this didn’t make sense. Looking back for COVID’s third birthday, so little of it did. But that’s how I’ll remember COVID: Full of panic and brow-beating and short on common sense and facts. Case closed, right? You have Fauci20 saying masking wasn’t really effective. You have a top medical research institute agreeing after a review of the pandemic. And you have millions and millions of cases during mandatory masking.
We knew it was all a game when leaders like Gov. Gavin Newsom were repeatedly caught in public not wearing masks. At the Lakers game or at an exclusive restaurant partying with lobbyists. But that didn’t stop some of my colleagues from attacking me for attacking the photojournalist. I repeatedly said I was not attacking the photojournalist, but they were undeterred.
