There are serious risks to young and healthy people from COVID: theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
Meanwhile: Alex Berenson on Fox "straight news" program: "Children and young adults are at basically no risk of serious illness or death from this virus"
No pushback at all.
It's a genuine scandal that the president was downplaying COVID in March despite knowing otherwise.
His favorite network is *still* doing that for nakedly political reasons -- under the guise of "straight news" no less.
Berenson went on to rail at masks, putting it on Chris Hahn to explain why masks are good.
It's just so telling: Fox treats the science as just part of the same old partisan bickering. This is why Trump downplayed the virus in the first place.
Like, book a panel of epidemiologists if you want to talk about whether masks work or kids are at risks. Not a former aide to Schumer and whatever Berenson is today.
It's not complicated. "By physically blocking the mouth and nose of a person with COVID-19, these masks limit dispersion of the exhaled respiratory droplets that carry the virus and make it less likely they will infect others" mediamatters.org/fox-news/foxs-…
