The Mask Debacle

This is a really good opinion piece on the mask charade. I’m in the camp it is political theatre.

Recent days have witnessed the emergence of a new riftin our pandemic debate. Strikingly, this time the dispute is not just partisan, but also splittingthe Democratic Party. While Democratic governors appear to see where political winds are blowing, some blue cities are moving in the opposite direction. And many states that are dropping adult mask mandates are retaining them for kids, resulting in the absurd prospect of indefinite masking for a less vulnerable population for whom masks have more significantdownsides.


For many the wearing of masks is a 'virtue signal' to others that they are doing what's right in preventing the spread......for others it's a sign of someone who has not taken the time to learn the science behind the virus and a sign of merely following herd mentality. Both have their reasoning, excuses and support they show to bolster their position.

For me, I've found it hard to believe and understand that so many actually believe in their heart of hearts that a little cloth mask, which 90% wear is going to interfere in anyways a microscopic germ.....simply incredible. Then, it's the politicization of the pandemic, from masks to vaccine ID cards, and weaponizing it during the election of 2020.....then use these things to demonize entire groups of people, all in the name of their new 'god'.....amazing to watch. Basic insanity, imo.
 
I think you're too much of a coward to speak plainly. Go ahead and post another picture to prove me right. 😁
