President Obama's birthday party was a bad idea

106. It wasn't outdoors.

The tent was outdoors. 475 people in the tent. Plus 200 workers.

Francis Collins, NIH director appointed by Pres Obama on CNN Sunday said this:

“If you're talking about a small party like I might have at my house for six or eight people who are all fully vaccinated, I do not believe, at this point, we need to put masks on to be next to each other.

But if there were 100 people -- and, of course, how are you really going to be sure about people's vaccination status? And maybe there's some immunocompromised people there who, though they're vaccinated, are not actually fully protected, then the dynamic changes a little bit. There will be some need for common sense there.”

It's not "carrying water for GOP propagandists" to recognize that this is bad optics and that we need to practice what we preach.
