<p>&#8220;The View&#8221; co-host Sunny Hostin says she&#8217;s not going to trust others when it comes to COVID-19 and that governments need to enact &#8220;mask mandates&#8221; because &#8220;people just aren&#8217;t great people.&#8221;</p>
<p>During a panel discussion Tuesday on &#8220;<a href="https://twitter.com/TheView/status/1513899754526281729?s=20&amp;t=vm8XXF67694jFUBSoa9KoA">The View</a>,&#8221; the co-hosts debated whether or not mask mandates are necessary in light of Philadelphia becoming the &#8220;first major U.S. city to reinstate mask mandates.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sara Haines said, as the virus variants and severity have changed, she has also changed her thoughts on this, and that it&#8217;s not time to pull out the masks but instead it&#8217;s time to save &#8220;the life of our economy.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t think right now we need federal and state mandates, with the exception of like travel,&#8221; Haines shared.</p>
<p>&#8220;But I think right now they are not only not necessary to have those mandates from above or from the government. But I also think they are not prudent because we are going to maybe need to put those masks on again. &#8230; If we&#8217;re grabbing those right away &#8230; it kind of sows mistrust in when we&#8217;re going to need them,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>&#8220;As it&#8217;s [virus] kind of changed and the severity has gone down and the deaths have gone down, now it&#8217;s time to save the life of our economy and our businesses,&#8221; she added. &#8220;There are small businesses that are never going to come back. Dreams crushed &#8230; we need to save them now.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">WILL AMERICANS REJECT REINSTATED MASK MANDATES? As Philadelphia just became the first major U.S. city to reinstate an indoor mask mandate and Vice Pres.

<p>Alyssa Farah Griffin, who worked in former President Donald Trump&#8217;s administration, interjected, saying, &#8220;two years ago we didn&#8217;t let people, Americans, make assessments based on their own health?&#8221;</p>
<p>Griffin and Hostin then got in a heated head-to-head over whether it was Trump or then-vice presidential hopeful Kamala Harris who politicized the virus. Joy Behar contended that it was Trump and the Republican Party &#8220;who poisoned the well from the beginning&#8221; so &#8220;a lot of people maybe in the millions who refused to have gotten vaccinated. And that&#8217;s where this all started.&#8221;</p>
<p>Griffin pointed out that there were &#8220;things that were said by Democrats early on that politicized the virus.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Vice President Kamala Harris in the Vice Presidential debate said if Dr. [Anthony] Fauci says I should get it I will, but I&#8217;m not getting a Trump vaccine,&#8221; Griffin explained. &#8220;That&#8217;s dangerous.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/despicable-sunny-hostin-blows-up-at-guest-host-for-defending-republican-response-to-ukraine">Hostin</a> looked shocked and said to Griffin that Harris&#8217; comment was &#8220;way after this vaccine was politicized by your boss.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We want people to be better than they are,&#8221; Hostin shared, going back to the mandate debate. &#8220;But we can not necessarily rely on people to protect their fellow man. We know that that just doesn&#8217;t happen. But I think when it comes to mask mandates, they&#8217;re there because people just aren&#8217;t great people.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s just the bottom line,&#8221; she added. &#8220;Americans just aren&#8217;t great to each other. We just aren&#8217;t.&#8221;</p>
