Thomas had never seen such bullshit before

But the CDC doesn't say that.
Besides, the CDC issues "guidelines", it doesn't pass laws

Well according to business and local governments they are the word of God.

A child must learn to support his head and eventually go from immobile, to crawling and then to walking, just for the weak through government edict to make him crawl again.

Actually most states have lifted mask mandates and the CDC didnt make the mandates, state governments did. The CDC just provided guidelines.

Have a good day!
