Glad to see that they take COVID so seriously when they are dictating COVID response to others.

I didn't think the OP seemed too enraged so much as he was identifying hypocritical global politicians.

I have never "cried" about wearing masks despite my clinical diagnosis of claustrophobia or natural immunity. I have always worn a mask when a private business required it as I could simply choose not to enter the business, or more commonly, take the mask off when I exited the business. As opposed to an injection.

But as we have witnessed over the past year, virtually all global politicians have issued edicts that they themselves failed to follow.

The only outrage that I question is yours.

This guy is a 'conservative' in France (which we all can agree is not a conservative by American standards - lol). He also was quite militant about mandates last year in his 'district'.

So what I can gather is - he walked into the building quite boldly -- lots of photographers etc...they knew they were on camera.

Someone in the room told them to put on the mask and they obliged.....but they knew they were being filmed. There are pics of him surrounded by photographers in the building with no mask prior to getting to the podium. The black masks weren't being picked off the floor but a container with masks being handed out by whoever.


So at that time we were not wearing masks if vaccinated so it isn't a gotcha moment. It's a fabricated gotcha moment.

Oh dear......

So, they faked it to make a point? The "guy" was militant in what regard? Wearing masks or anti-masks? What about the others? Were they subservient to the "guy"?

Your post makes a lot of implications without any facts to back them up.

Actually went to my VPN -- switched it to France and went to that day and yes pieced together he was walking in with a storm of photographers filming him -- you see the guy who is masked start handing out masks to the crowd.....

No they didn't fake it.

So the people walk into the building -- photographers everywhere.

They are in the room waiting for the press conference. Someone handed them masks and asked them to put on.
They went - oh and put on a mask.

Not the same thing as --- let's not wear masks -- oh look cameras - let's put masks on.



Cote D'Azure had strict lockdown protocols, including curfews

And another little tidbit -- the guy has COVID....announced August 30th....even with being double vaxxed.

So it’s not a fabricated gotcha moment? They were unmasked until instructed to mask up for cameras?

But the leader, anti-mask or pro-mask? I’m not sure of the date this was filmed so the date of infection is irrelevant at this point.

I still don’t understand how news cameras increase the risks of COVID infection.

No they were on camera the whole time.

I took it as if they walked in with no masks -- thinking hey we are vaxxed and someone said -- um you need to wear a mask -- not for the cameras but because they had a a protocol in the building for everyone to mask.

And actually when they started the press conference, the guy at the podium has no mask on.

But this thread implies they didn't wear a mask until they thought they were being filmed and it appears they knew they were being filmed, photographed all along.
