Representative Kevin Kiley humiliates HHS Secretary Becerra in this exchange.

Then there was this exchange on the House floor between Representative Nadler, who, unbelievably, defended a maximalist position on child-masking. Chip Roy tore him apart in response.
Rep. @chiproytx responded by ripping Nadler a new one: “My Democratic colleagues [believe] the full power of the federal government should be part of ensuring and forcing your two year old child to be masked.” pic.twitter.com/eHcxMXHMUC

As we saw in the clip with Becerra, the bodies issuing guidelines disclaim all responsibility for the policy. The separation between the guideline-issuing bodies (HHS, CDC, etc.), and the legal bodies that adopted them and made them enforceable (states and localities) has allowed the officers of both to escape scrutiny.
The fact is that childhood masking in the United States was a total fiasco. It’s clearly why learning loss is worse in the United States than in Europe. It’s also a contributing factor to why the United States will continue to have a significant populist bent in its politics. The experts and elites got behind a patently ridiculous policy, falsely justified in the name of science. Against such idiocy, the common sense of the people can prevail easily.
