creed 1,666 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I was watching a segment on 60 minutes concerning Covid and the reporter (can't remember his name) stated that he asked the doctors in the segment what would they choose if given a choice between a mask versus a vaccine. He said all the doctors stated they would choose a mask. This was totally 180 from what I thought the doctors would say. Did anyone watch this 60 minutes episode and what was your reaction? The doctors choice made me think why would they choose a mask being in the medical field dealing with Covid everyday. So what would happen if the president has a vaccine to deploy and some or most of the citizens say "no, I'll stick with the mask". If that's the case is that a tougher policy decision for Trump or Biden and what should they do from that standpoint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he was interviewing a female doctor when the statement was made. i just watched the segment again and the statement was made 10 minutes or so in while interviewing a female doctor.

creed 1,666 Posted October 14, 2020 Author Share Posted October 14, 2020 I guess either no one watched the episode or the response didn't peak anyone's interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
