Public-health commentator Leana Wen may relate to the biblical saying that a prophet is never honored in her own home. A few years ago she was pushed out as president of Planned Parenthood because she wasn’t radical enough on abortion. Now the erstwhile supporter of government Covid mandates is enduring the wrath of public-health activists for saying we need to learn to live with Covid.
Dr. Wen, a CNN commentator, was once a defender of government vaccine and mask mandates. Last fall she opined that the Biden Administration’s vaccine mandates didn’t go far enough. “Why didn’t Biden announce that he will mandate vaccinations for plane and train travel?” she said.
