Spot on! A symbol of repression.

Sounds like they are going into CYA mode over at CNN. More lawsuits on the way?
CNN Medical Analyst Leana Wen joined Victor Blackwell on Monday afternoon to offer advice for Americans as Omicron panic grips mainstream airwaves ahead of Christmas and New Year's gatherings. And one warning she gave viewers about masks is raising eyebrows.
"We should be keeping the events that are safe and also the events that have fun for people too," Wen — who previously served as president of Planned Parenthood before being ousted after less than one year with the organization — said of New Year's Eve celebrations. "We can't be canceling everything especially if we're going to be living with COVID for the foreseeable future," Wen said in an unintentional debunking of President Biden's quixotic campaign promise to "shut down the virus."
For those who choose to attend celebrations in Times Square or elsewhere, Wen said "I would make sure that you're vaccinated and boosted, make sure that you're wearing a mask even though it's outdoors."
Wen advised that, "If there are lots of people packed around you, wearing a three-ply surgical mask" would offer protection but told viewers "don't wear a cloth mask — cloth masks are little more than facial decorations — there's no place for them in light of Omicron," Wen explained.
