VP, in the absence of actual RCTs how do these docs go around shouting #MASKS WORK!!!

I feel like the medical profession writ large either has no idea what an RCT is, or pays no attention to whether they exist for (fill in the blank) recommendation.

Basically, my entire impression of doctors is eroded. And it ain’t coming back anytime soon. These people are out of their minds — truly driving blind, and appealing to authority to CYA.

I wasn’t looking for this.

Let's see how mad people really are at the judge. The same day of her decision every major airline dropped the requirement. Multiple viral videos show people cheering, flight attendants singing. When asked whether people should mask on airplanes, Biden - the executive sponsor of the mandate that had been overturned - said, "it's up to them." The administration took two days to even suggest they would appeal the ruling and, still, will do so *without asking for a stay.* Most of the coverage of the administration's thinking says they are concerned they will lose on appeal because the judge's decision was, you know, right.

I think a lot of the anger is performative.
