Hawaii’s Governor is rarely without controversy and that continues today.

Why don’t they look at the 150 studies that say that masks don’t work and they are actually bad for you, especially for children? We need to replace both the Governor and the Lt. Governor.
There are not 150 studies that prove masks are harmful. There are some papers that someone wrote saying that masks are harmful but these people did not follow all the protocols required for a real study and therefore they retracted the paper but not before the misinformation was spread by certain networks. Medical professionals have worn masks for years with no ill effects.
Beat of Hawaii – how did you let this comment through? This is pure misinformation.
Because BOH is not totalitarian like social media. BTW guys, did the site get hacked recently? I tried to email you to say all BOH links were going to YAHOO. Was it your issue or something on the web?
Hi MJ.
No not hacked. Were you by any chance using a proxy server or something that could have made it appear that you were somewhere other than in the US? We block traffic from many countries due to extensive spam. Please let us know. Thanks.
Aloha.
Unfortunately Saying it and Actually Doing it are Two Totally Opposing Points of Interest in Hawaii. I wish that I could say that it’s a rarity, it’s not, where the Voter’s choose to be pillaged by their elected officials. I wonder if self mutilation began this way. Root Canals are much less painless than Voting any other way for Hawaiians. They’re not alone in the self propagation of painful experiences and angst that comes with allowing Politicians to Abuse Them, and Their Elected Offices too. All that I can say is Good Luck Hawaii, You’re going to Need it!
During our trip to Maui in summer 2019, my daughter decided she wanted to go back for her 21st birthday. We have 12 months until the big day and we’re keeping our fingers crossed that Safe Travels and mask mandates are gone so we can go. We’ve given ourselves until August to make a final decision about where to go. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻🤞🏻 it’s Hawaii.
If I were you there would be a very good and acceptable plan B, have a feeling that it will be Needed. Governor Ige is a Lame “Lame Duck” and is taking full advantage of the Power Trip he Commands. Save Hawaii for another time when hopefully it can be fully enjoyed!
I personally don’t want the virus so I will continue to wear a mask when I don’t feel safe.
And, that is Your choice.
When walking around outside I do not wear a mask. When I go into a store I mask up. Not because I am afraid of catching something, but not to cause a problem for the store. After all they are only following the rules.
This is the society we live in now. Sad.
Already booked the Caribbean.
Hi Guys,
Glad you’re traveling again. I think we learn more when you’re on the move. Ige is out of his mind. The rest of the country picks February 28th, with some small variations, and our governor has to show he’s “in charge” by adding an extra month to Hawaii’s mask mandate. That’s one month of tourists who already picked their vacation days deciding to go elsewhere, despite airlines offering discounts to “bribe” people when they no longer believe in the need for testing/mask mandates.
My wife and I have been visiting Hawaii for the past 18 years – even last year with all the covid restrictions in place.
Too much hassle now. We will miss our friends, the scenery, and weather. Until all this craziness gets worked out with your govenor we are done!
Nobody likes wearing a mask, but it really isn’t that big of a deal. I will just chill and put a mask on, it isn’t going to ruin my life. It is my body and my choice after all. Also, if you are in Hawaii and you are complaining about masks, I think you don’t really get what hawaii is all about and maybe you should go to Mexico or the Caribbean.
Ige may be the only governor to have a medical doctor with whom he can consult and apparently doesn’t.
If term limits won’t doom this man, the voters should.
This may no longer be about an idiot Governor. It may say more about the constituency.
I am a regular visitor to the islands and happy to comply with whatever is required to enter the state. I am also willing to comply with whatever masking requirements are in place. I’m so thankful to leave the gray skies and rain behind for a time and feel the sun and sand. Mahalo for asking!
Why isn’t the governor following the “Science” now? Ige is a lot like Biden….missing logical thinking skills and the ability to formulate and follow any kind of plans that make sense.
J.T,
We have stopped caring about one another. Wearing a mask is no big deal. You wear clothes don’t you?
The “Science” of which moment, there’s been far too many. Then there’s occasionally the Real Science that steps forward, the one that everyone is told to ignore and is then discarded like a 3 day old newspaper Only to discover it was the truth a year and a half later. “Science” isn’t a guessing game, it’s supposed to be well defined unlike what we’ve been told about Vaccines and Covid. That is ever changing depending upon who’s speaking and what they’re attempting to hide from us. When the Science of Opinion is all Fiction.
