In the wake of a court ruling that struck down the federal mask-wearing mandate on airplanes and public transportation, the left has shown its true colors with fear-mongering meltdowns.
Many Americans celebrated the decision Monday by U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle who noted that the mandate went beyond the statutory authority of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But the CDC soon issued a statement recommending masks still be worn in those settings and asked the Biden Justice Department to file an appeal.
And the left-leaning media continued to beat the drum of panic over suddenly unmasking while on public transportation or on flights. One eyebrow-raising bit of advice came from a health analyst on MSNBC who even admitted that what she was advising “sounds crazy.”
“If people want to stay safe, the best thing they can do — high-quality mask. And that when possible carry some extra masks,” Dr. Kavita Patel suggested.
“I know this sounds crazy — but if you tell someone next to you on a plane — N95 mask or surgical mask and just say, ‘I’ve got an elderly mother at home or I’ve got a child with cancer at home, please do me a favor,” she added.
“Having the people at least closest to you in that row protecting yourself and them can be the best safety,” Patel said.
MSNBC’s health “expert” says to carry extra masks and give them to people sitting next to you on airplanes and ask them to wear them. The only things masks, which do not work, have done is demonstrate how insane and anti-science left wingers truly are. pic.twitter.com/NarwJ47IiR

Patel’s advice was ridiculed on social media for being just as “crazy” as she thought.
“I know this sounds crazy.” Lady, it is crazy.

As a physician it pains me to say that we have lost a lot of credibility in this pandemic

Nothing wrong with asking but be prepared when person you asked laughs and says no. This is ridiculous.

So it’s not enough that they’re vaccinated/boosted & wearing a mask? Do they NOT believe in their own science? If you don’t believe it why should I?

Sure. Let’s all carry extra masks so that we can ask strangers to wear one. I mean, it all went so smoothly when there was a mandate. What could possibly go wrong now? 🙄
