Walensky on DeSantis: 'Those Students Should Have Been Comfortable' Masking, It's 'Their Choice'
During a portion of an interview with NBC on Thursday, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky criticized Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) for telling a group of students that them wearing masks was theater.
At an event on Wednesday, DeSantis told a group of students, “You do not have to wear those masks. I mean, please take them off. Honestly, it’s not doing anything, and we’ve got to stop with this COVID theater. So, if you want to wear it, fine. But this is ridiculous.”
Walensky stated, “So, those students should have been comfortable wearing a mask” and that doing so is “absolutely their choice.”
