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?

    I get mad sweaty and any good mask was seriously uncomfortable for any length of time. Just like 10 minutes in my upper lip is sweating and condensation from my breath collects.

    Extrapolate that to millions of sweaty burger eaters who are only concerned about their comfort, and a reason to make an excuse for operating along that comfort, and you get anti-maskers, regardless of if they're actually uncomfortable.
