I understand when the elites use their power and position to circumvent laws intended to insure fairness. Like if the governor parks in a handicapped parking spot even though he isn't handicapped, sure, he thinks that he is so important and his time is so crucial that it supersedes the needs of handicapped people.

But the purpose of mask and social distancing mandates was supposed to be to protect the masked/separated person from catching a deadly disease. If the big shot politicians really believed that wearing a mask would save them from suffering and death, would they have used their power and position to ignore the rules? (Do I need to rattle off examples? California Governor Newsom at the football game, speaker of the house Nancy Pelosi at the hair dresser, Michigan Governor Whitmer at the restaurant, etc etc) Surely not. They would have used their power and position to make sure that they got the best masks available. They would probably have a staffer standing by with spare masks just in case anything happened to the one they were wearing.

The only possible conclusion is that when the politicians made these rules, they themselves didn't believe for a moment that they actually did anything to protect the wearer's health. They're not just hypocrites and elitists. They are liars.

(By the way, it doesn't matter if YOU are convinced that masks save lives. My point is that the people who made the rules don't believe it.)

John, I think you've made a far greater impression than you may realize. Your articles have been generating troll activity. Bless their hearts - they will remain Covidiots 'til their dying breath - possibly from Covid or fatal TDS😏

Those in positions of authority who have promulgated lies, ignorance, and fear porn these past 2 years deserve a reckoning. Once this country rights itself, which may be sooner rather than later, that will happen. The consequences cannot be severe enough.
