CNN Medical Expert: It’s Time To Lift Mask Mandates
Over the weekend, CNN medical expert Dr. Leana Wen said that it is time for governments to lift mask mandates in order to “preserve public health authority for when it’s needed again.” Wen explained that she did not believe that people should stop wearing masks, but that governments needed to allow people to make decisions for themselves. Wen argued that people would be more likely to accept government-imposed restrictions again if they were first given back some of their freedom. “You say we can start removing at least some coronavirus restrictions,” CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer said. “Now, tell us why?”
