Mullen’s science dangerous

A self-proclaimed biologist from Sedro-Wooley has decided that she is smarter than the leading scientists in Japan, Germany, Russia and the United States among many others and is certain that we do not need to wear masks to combat COVID-19.

It is so dangerous when you combine hubris with carelessness, especially when you are not only subjecting yourself to the disease, but also all those you come into contact with.

I could understand someone saying that they do not think the science is clear enough yet but let us err on the side of caution while we continue to study this phenomenon and give respect to the huge number of health officials and scientists who disagree with me.

But to politicize this issue is just wrong. In the past, a pandemic would bring a country together but our country is so polarized that people actually put politics above reason and throw caution to the winds and say “hey, life is full of risk” (and if you die, you die).

I say, life is full of risk and we need to do everything we can to protect ourselves and those we come in contact with.
