In my house, science is a process based on skepticism that demands empiric data and constant re-evaluation as new evidence becomes available.

All "consensus" should be subject to questioning and dispute. There's nothing wrong with doing it.

But for most of the COVID pandemic, it wasn't allowed – certainly not culturally, and often at all. It's only allowed now that liberals don't like the new CDC guidance on masks.

If someone like @morningmika or @maddow or whoever wants to keep wearing masks, that is their right. I have no interest in critiquing that choice.

But if you go on TV and keep defending that choice, it is 100% an anti-vax message: you don't believe the vaccine really works.
