When not dishing bizarre mask advice, Dr. Collins enjoys posting cringe Covid videos

Since Camp Fantastic, a summer camp for kids with cancer, has to go virtual this year, my wife, Diane, and I made this #COVID19 parody on “Puff, the Magic Dragon” to let the kids know we’re with them in spirit during these challenging times. #NIH

Update: Dr. Collins says he misspoke and parents don’t need to wear masks at home

Let me clarify the masking message that I garbled on @NewDay this morning. Vaccinated parents who live in communities with high COVID transmission rates should mask when out in public indoor settings to minimize risks to their unvaccinated kids. No need to mask at home.

This is really stupid. When they say something that is this far off the wall, they have to realize that they are just alienating millions of people who they are trying to convince to get vaccinated. Can they not get some professional marketing experts to guide the message?
