Tweet text:

@AndrewSolender
GOP Rep. Mo Brooks urges Biden to reverse a mask mandate for unvaccinated soldiers at a base in Alabama:

- Calls the vaccines “experimental,” says hesitancy is “understandable” due to their “rapid” development.
- Says masks “endanger the health of those who wear them.”

If you're in my OR getting an operation, you're cool with me not wearing a mask and sneezing and coughing all into your wound? Good with that? I mean, since masks "endanger my health" and all

John Candy from his Second City days, doing his guy-in-a-labcoat bit to endorse some hare-brained health warning by agreeing with every bit of the warning and intoning, "You could die!"

Dr. Ding tweet:

RETRACTION of junk paper on masks & CO2 toxicity—hogwash study by Walach is now retracted based on bad science. Walach has now gotten fired from his university & 2 papers retracted in 1 month (his other anti-vax paper also retracted). Beware junk science. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamap


If he is even citing research. (Sorry, op won't expand so I can read.)

Brooks seems to think that requiring masks for unvaccinated troops is "taking away liberties" for people who all have to wear the same uniform, down to the same underwear, people who when they travel to foreign lands or deploy for combat, have to take a bunch of shots and medications, people who cannot leave their base without leave from a superior officer, people who get up when told, do what they are told all day long, and go to sleep when they are told, at the risk of punishment.

All of the above shit is okay, but a mask and a vaccine for a deadly, contagious disease is not?

Dumb fucker indeed!
