Bill Nye Drops Mask Science On Tucker Carlson's 'Weird Claim' - The Beat With Ari Melber - MSNBC



The science is clear – wearing a mask works. While President Trump and his supporters have been reluctant to wear masks, Bill Nye “The Science Guy” took to TikTok to explain why some face coverings work better than others. The science guru himself joined “The Beat” to discuss the science behind wearing masks and why you should wear one. Aired on 7/14/2020.

Though it would have been a lot more helpful and effective if we'd gotten this message on a national level from the beginning as has happened in other countries.

I had the benefit of having a family in China that was locked down early on and that influenced us greatly.

It seems there is no problem with wearing a mask when you know it will save your life. Add our governments lack of response and confusing messages and well, we got chaos.

Our education system and TV/hate radio seems to breed ignorance.

Stay well.

This is what we should have been doing here since the beginning! I fault Trump and his lack of leadership. We needed a national mandate from the beginning instead of leaving it up to the states since too many looked to Trump and didn't take it seriously - and some still don't - with dire consequences. What does it take to enact simple precautions that save lives??

Stay safe out there!
