CNN Medical Analyst Blasted on Twitter After Reversal on COVID Mandates

Dr. Leana Wen, a CNN medical analyst and the former head of Planned Parenthood, is facing loads of backlash on social media for her recent calls to roll back Covid-19 restrictions. And she’s getting it from both sides.

As Julio reported yesterday, Wen told CNN anchor John Berman that she supports off-ramps to mask mandates, particularly in schools, because “the science has changed.”

“We know that vaccines protect very well against Omicron, which is the dominant variant,” Wen said Monday. “Everyone 5 and older have widespread access to vaccines and we also know about one-way masking. The idea that even if other people around you are not wearing masks, if you wear a high-quality mask, that also protects you, the wearer, too … I don’t think anyone really is saying, no one should ever wear masks, but rather that the responsibility should shift from a government mandate imposed from the state or local district of the school, rather it should shift to an individual responsibility by the family who can still decide that their child can wear a mask if needed.”

Before, there were 2 camps, for & against pandemic restrictions.

Now, there's a 3rd: pro-restrictions earlier but recognizing it's a different time now.

This group wants to move from vitriol & divisiveness to nuance & compromise. @postopinions 🧵https://t.co/YdmR2mEHmT

You advocated for human rights violations, discrimination, and state aggression against innocent people mere months ago.

You can't sit here. https://t.co/PeOPueYnS9

You once advocated for the forced detention of the unvaccinated. With all due respect, GFY.
