Joe Biden announced today wanted his first campaign promises that, if elected, he will force you to wear masks for at least three months apparently including outside he didnt offer any details or any science to explain why we must do this. We must do it anyway says Joe Biden Watch. Every single American should be wearing a mask when they are outside for the next three months. At minimum, every governor should mandate every governor should mandate mandatory, mask wearing so lets Institute a mask mandate nationwide starting immediately, and we will save lives its not about your rights, its about your responsibilities as an American, its not about your rights. You dont have any rights anymore. You have to wear a mask when youre alone in the woods walking with no one near you in
the park while running riding your bike. Is there any science behind this whatsoever? And if so, what is it? Dr Marc Siegel is a Fox news, medical contributor. I get really uncomfortable when people try to justify a purportedly public health based decision by telling me to be patriotic. If I disagree or ask questions im not patriotic. So what is the scientific basis for making people wear masks alone outside good evening, Tucker its a politics of fear and the power of science? Big government addition, as you just said, what is the science behind this? Some recent studies show that masking, if you use them properly in proper conditions, when youre close together or indoors, when the ventilation is poor, they likely decrease the amount of viral spread, and that was shown in several hot spot states and Washington D, DOT c end and a couple others theres also been stimulations that show that masking may help
decrease the spread of the virus. Thats enough for me to like the idea of masks, the politics of fear, big government addition Vice President Biden is talking about outside outside, is where its much more difficult to spread the virus and Tucker. I rode my bicycle. Recently around New York, everybody was wearing a mask. You know what they werent wearing helmets. We are going to see a lot more damage to the brain because they are so worried about the government, ideas and access masking. You also talk this week about the fact that Harvard researchers have said that during sex with someone outside your household, I cant comment on the science of that and imagine if the government is watching you with that end. A Wisconsin state agency, as you also said, has come out with a decree that, even if youre at
home on a zoom call, you should wear a mask. Even if you are alone im going to tell all of your viewers tonight do not do that, but, depending on the outcome of the presidential election, you may have to turn your camera off, because big brother, maybe watching you Tucker. This is getting really scary. When you make a decree that you claim is rooted in data, show us.
