Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg explains why it's safe to be mask-free at the WHCD but not on airplanes

Here’s the current Covid “science” status as it pertains to the White House Correspondents’ dinner:

–President Biden will attend, but to lower the risk of Covid spread he’ll skip the dinner portion of the evening. Apparently Covid’s only going to show up for dinner but not for the rest of the program.

–The double-vaxxed and double-boosted Dr. Anthony Fauci was going to attend the dinner but decided not to go at all out of Covid-19 concerns. It’s always important to demonstrate to the public that they should have complete confidence in the vaccines (cue eye roll).

–Pete Buttigieg will attend the mask-free WHCD in complete confidence.

Fox News’ Bret Baier asked the Transportation Secretary why it’s OK to have a maskless packed house at the WHCD while at the same time the Biden administration wants to bring back mask mandates on airplanes. The “science” is strong with Buttigieg’s answer:

Yes, Mayor Pete, we do understand the difference:

The airplane has much, much better air filters? https://t.co/fRwovHgtjO

And this guy’s the Secretary of Transportation.

Yeah, we understand.

commercial airplanes constantly filter the air, which is why a Covid outbreak was never traced back to an airplane.

Ballrooms do not, which is why you all get sick at your fancy parties. https://t.co/3SsXhUf5HD

This just yet another item on the long list of examples that this administration’s Covid concern and response has nothing to do with “science” or even common sense.
