Science is science. I\u2019ve been lectured to for years as a Republican about climate change saying follow the science,\u201d said McCain, as reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbusters.org\/blogs\/nb\/kristine-marsh\/2021\/05\/17\/mccain-scorches-panicky-left-media-not-following-science\">Newsbusters<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019m vaccinated, vaccinated. I\u2019m back to life. I will not wear a mask unless I\u2019m required to in a business or place. Obviously, I\u2019ll respect what businesses want but I think at this point it\u2019s just irrational and emotional especially when the CDC director is saying we\u2019re coming up on impending doom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meghan McCain then highlighted states like Texas and Florida for lifting their mask mandates by allowing people to live as normal while suffering few consequences.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf there was impending doom, then Florida and Texas would be hellscapes of death and we\u2019d have to have the National Guard coming in and saving people. That\u2019s not what\u2019s happening,\u201d said McCain. \u201cMy family and friends in Arizona are living life normal. And guess what? There\u2019s not impending doom. There\u2019s not fire and fury and hellscape everywhere. This is irrational. People are reacting emotionally and not following their own science.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McCain then played a clip of Rachel Maddow lamenting on her MSNBC show that she will have a hard time overcoming her fear of people not wearing a mask.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel like I\u2019m going to have to rewire myself and when I see someone not wearing a mask I don\u2019t instantly think you\u2019re a threat, or you are selfish or you are a COVID denier and you definitely haven\u2019t been vaccinated,\u201d Maddow said. \u201cWe have to rewire the way we look at each other because the CDC\u2019s guidance which she just told me,\u00a0 is if you\u2019re vaccinated, you don\u2019t need to wear a mask except in very specific circumstances.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meghan McCain then suggested that the CDC lifted the mask guidelines for political reasons, fearing the economic fallout that could come from keeping life from going back to normal. CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky has denied that the CDC issued the change in policy for political reasons.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can tell you it certainly would have been easier if the science had evolved a week earlier and I didn\u2019t have to go to Congress making those statements, but I\u2019m delivering the science as the science is delivered to the medical journals,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd, you know, it evolved over this last week. The cases came down over the last two weeks. And so that\u2019s \u2014 I delivered it as soon as I can when we had that information available.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/cdc-director-denies-new-mask-guidance-was-politically-motivated-science-evolved\">CDC Director Denies New Mask Guidance Was Politically Motivated: Science\u00a0\u2018Evolved\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
