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?

    You know that meme about the shopping cart test? Like if you can't put your cart away after shopping then you are no better than an animal?

    Well the entire world was subjected to that very same test with masks. It costs no one anything to wear a mask, it helps and protects others, there are literally nothing but upsides to doing it. It only takes a few seconds of personal inconvenience to do so. And millions of people failed the test.
