this dude loves to be on the air, and he's about as consistent as Fauci.
He think every single public health tool should be used to fight COVID, and is a believer in both vaccine and mask mandates. Somehow, though, that isn't political to him even though the very nature of public health is political:

I'm not sure how COVID can be such a huge crisis, but then it can be blown off as long as it's not U.S. citizens attributing to the spread.
