Tucker Carlson: We should start asking people to stop wearing masks outside, it makes us uncomfortable

'Tucker Carlson Tonight' host asks why we still wear masks outside if science says they're not necessary.

In San Francisco, the authorities demanded that citizens wear masks while running outside. In the city of Boston, the mayor extended that requirement to all outdoor activities. "You need to be wearing a face-covering when you’re out exercising." In a functioning democracy, like we had just a few years ago, demands like these would be impossible to make. A politician might prefer that you wear a mask outdoors, but he couldn’t make you do it. At best, he’d have to ask nicely. He’d have to show you the science, and try to convince you to follow his advice, one adult to another. The onus would be on him to make his case, not on you to obey the command. But over the course of the Coronavirus pandemic, the opposite happened, it was inverted. And it happened because large groups of people failed to resist it, it kept happening, becoming more unreasonable and disconnected from science day by day.   As of tonight, for example, more than 15 months after we first told you about the spread of this weird new virus in China, the state of Michigan now requires children as young as two to wear face masks while in "public spaces and places like camps or daycare centers." This is not a suggestion. It’s an order. They all are. A pregnant mother and her two-year-old were thrown off a Spirit Airlines flight because the two-year-old was not wearing a mask.
