It’s honestly been fucking baffling watching people be like “I didn’t wear a mask during covid I ain’t wearing one now” like alright bro breathe that toxic smoke ig, you do you.
Like, at least with covid it wasn’t visible. The virus isn’t visible, you don’t show that you caught it till later, and sick and dying people usually aren’t super visible to the public. But this is smoke in the air!!! You can see it! When you breathe in it hurts! Immediately!
Have they come so far they now just completely disagree with the idea that it’s possible to filter the air you breathe? Are they about to start rejecting germ theory? Return to humoral theory?
That attitude predates COVID tbh. Lotta people think seatbelts are unnecessary, and I can't even tell you how many times I've seen people refuse to use PPE in industrial environments because it "isn't necessary".
