Call me old fashioned, but I prefer seeing the leaders of public health agencies keeping us updated on the status of disease outbreaks, rather than how full their parking lots are.

Bloomberg tried to ban large sodas in the name of public health, but is more than happy to spread anti-public health propaganda when it affects his bottom line.

The far right previously said that we can't have fun if we have seatbelts, condoms, or smoke-free bars. None of that has panned out to be remotely true. It's the same thing with COVID precautions.
