The healthcare worker mask mandate for flu existed for years before COVID without controversy.
But health departments are refusing to follow the science and enact mask mandates for COVID—which is more prevalent and kills more people than the flu—because it's "too political."
Dr. Lucky Tran :verified:
NYS DoH just sent a reminder that healthcare workers are required to wear a mask if they haven't gotten their flu shot.
It makes zero sense they are ignoring COVID and not requiring masks for everyone. COVID levels are high, and you can still spread it if you are vaccinated.

In Spain we started much stricter than US. Nowadays, there are zero measures. Not even in hospitals.

@luckytran This isn’t politics, this is cult behavior. And it is only a matter of time before they start rolling back other public health measures.

I actually don't blame the health departments or facilities too much over this. Once governors and the attorneys general start threatening facilities and physicians, and angry people start showing up at healthcare worker's places of work, or even worse, at their homes, you cannot expect the public health system to do anything but back away fast
