Many constituents in my riding wanted to use masks in the beginning, but it was suggested that wearing a mask in public would instill fear or a racist backlash. Since Dr. Tam would have known that masks were an added level of protection right from the start, why do you think she didn't insist they be used? Do you think she was pressured by the WHO or other political stakeholders?
