We’re not here to tell other people how to parent their children, but we can’t help but feel like New York Times columnist Andrew Ross Sorkin is doing it wrong:
Just brought my child to an urgent care center because she had a fever and I wanted to get her checked out. The doctor, nor the nurses, wore any masks. “Why would we mask if we are vaccinated?” the nurse told me. I was dumbfounded. I turned around and walked out.

In other words, the doctor and nurses were following the science and understand how vaccines work. And that’s just dumbfounding to Sorkin.
The great thing about being a journalist is that you’re always smarter than actual experts https://t.co/MfBtGiZHci

What makes this extra crazy is that there are actually people out there who think Sorkin is the smart one in this scenario.
Good call.

Because the CDC said it's required in areas of substantial spread, even indoors, and even if vaccinated? Is anyone paying any attention to anything?! I lose faith in front-line medical/healthcare staff every day from these stories I'm hearing…

Good move Andrew. I would have done the same thing.

Bravo, and thank you for sharing your personal family healthcare experience publicly.

Stunning and brave!
Unfortunately that’s the view of a lot of people @andrewrsorkin I feel your pain I live in Atlanta and no one wears masks here because they think they are vaccinated we are fine it’s definitely a problem. Hope you and your family particularly your daughter are feeling better

this was my exact thought that I came to write. I am exhausted by human's limited capacity at sound decision making. I just….🤬

We, too, are exhausted by humans’ limited capacity at sound decision making.
This is, of course, insane. https://t.co/2GGxBz9bPU
— jimtreacher.substack.com (@jtLOL) September 3, 2021
It is. And Sorkin’s doubling down on the insanity:
The responses here are crazy. Vaccinated people can transmit COVID. Especially Delta. CDC says medical facilities are REQUIRED to mask. NY requires masking (where the urgent care was — btw so does Broadway or US Open) Kids under 12 aren’t vaccinated. We went to different doctor. https://t.co/6G1emEUeKm
— Andrew Ross Sorkin (@andrewrsorkin) September 3, 2021
Again, we can’t even be sure that Sorkin’s account is true.
What are things that didn’t happen, Alex? https://t.co/roEBWHEXz6

That was a violation of the OSHA COVID-19 ETS if it actually happened. Did you call the OSHA whistleblower hotline? Or just tell us the name of the facility and we can do it for you. https://t.co/EPzTJPdmb2

I’ll take “things that didn’t happen but were fabricated by a grown man with an unhealthy craving for attention on social media” for 1000. https://t.co/WnVtj1NRzC

Heh.
Assuming Sorkin’s story is true and he’s not just making it up to make himself look brilliant and special, anyone who believes that it’s a better look to risk your child’s health than to believe in a demonstrably effective vaccine is clearly not firing on all cylinders.

The Follow The Science™ Crowd is basically ready to start putting unvaccinated people into camps for not Following The Science™. But these same geniuses are simultaneously insisting that the vaccine isn’t effective. The cognitive dissonance is just staggering.

This really sums up liberal journo COVID alarmists in a nutshell. Literally delaying healthcare for your child because you think you know “the Science” better than actual doctors and nurses. Could be a @TheBabylonBee article. https://t.co/v6oleY3fuX

LMAO
Andrew has just shown the world he's a moronic anti-vaxxer who's so ignorant about the risk Covid poses to kids that he is bragging about refusing medical care for his own sick child for virtue points https://t.co/TT3wUtxXJc
