No, don’t play this both sides crap - you were the one saying _“I find it interesting that people know more than CDC. I’m following the CDC guidelines which don’t advise wearing a mask, so I’m not wearing a mask.”_ I challenged you and pointed out that the CDC was a little slow on the uptake. I was right. You were not. And you’re not now.

You are deliberately trying to have a dishonest debate and you’re trying to, within the rules, sow misinformation. This should not be allowed. In fact, I think YOU should not be allowed.

To everyone reading this: everyone knows the little games that our resident “conservatives” play. I am trying to defend the integrity of the community discussion here.
