This is straight forward and well put. It's a simple litmus test to distinguish political hackery from the just plain wrong.
Should I search on "mask"?
Who is Eli Klein? Should I be wary because he might just be a political hack?
And your proposed contrast is political hackery vs. just plain wrong. Is that what you meant to say?
Go for it. I did accuse him of hypocrisy, for taking his mask off when he thought he was not being photographed multiple times. I thought he was wrong about the masks, accused him of knowingly lying to the American people for paternalistic reasons and flipflopping on his prior positions, including the double masks. I thought he was wrong and manipulated the evidence supporting mask usage. But I never accused him of using masks, for example, to bring down the Trump admin. That's the distinction here....this is a political act on his part, which he is selling administrative propaganda that this is a schools reopening plan when it is clearly a schools closing plan, as discussed in the other thread.
Don't know but he nails it.
Yup...this is a litmus test for political hackery v. those that are just wrong but well intentioned.
Just linking to someone who agrees with you is not much of an argument.
It's not evidence. It's a good expression of the litmus test for political hackery. Can't tell the distinction between the 2 much, can you?
The whole premise is just political hackery.
Now who's making an assertion without foundation.

I have no proof of any direct linkage, but it is interesting to note that the recent big surge in covid cases in the US (the surge from which we are now descending) started ramping up in mid-September.
It is interesting, but like you said, no direct linkage or causation. States that never went back to school saw the same surge, or even bigger surges in some cases.

When the conclusion is already determined, certain facts need to be ignored.

I have been saying this for a long time.
CA's premise was closure of schools, biz, etc would limit the spread.
Their cases per million are higher vs TX and FL who have taken the other path.
Obvious by inspection.
Displaying a little of your own partisan hackery there. Oh yeah, I keep forgetting...you are a "conservative".
I guess you can't see it because reading it makes you feel so good.
The conservative in me expects you to lay out precisely, point by point, why you dislike the CDC guidelines so much. The historian in me suspects that you won't.
It's been asked and answered already in the other thread including support. I can't help it if you are so lazy you won't go back and read the thread.
Which other thread?
CA Youth Sports. We've all been discussing it there. You've missed it.
I don't see a thread by that name. Is it a closed group?
Nope it's up at the top. Crush is the last poster. Maybe you've been banned by someone? ^\_(;?)_/^
Dad4's breakdown of the CDC recommendations was especially useful.
