Do you think there is any real substantive reason as to why people opposed masks so greatly? Was it a cultural issue? Was it a public health education issue? I was just thinking back to the heights of COVID and I don’t understand exactly the weirdly difficult issue with masks and public life. It was really odd that such a simple health tool was so opposed. I am not talking about the disease or vaccine but the act of wearing a mask. What was that such a point of contention?
I don’t think I ever heard a real reason why people were bugging out about them, was real just as simple as the minor inconvenience? The disruption of our already too busy lives were we all have so little power or control and this just another thing on top of that?
What do y’all think? Do you still mask up?
There is a huge percentage of people who just hate to do things when they are told they have to, doubly so if it's from the government. Americans are especially bad with this but it's not limited to the US. It doesn't matter if it's actually meant to stop them from killing themselves or not.
Covid was extra bad with this because the effects are not immediate due to the longer incubation period, and the mask was meant to prevent others from getting sick rather than yourself.
If covid had 1/10th the mortality rate but it made your dick half an inch shorter, we would have been locked inside our houses in the first month of the pandemic.
