Masks work. Respirators work better. Anyone saying that the public shouldn’t be given access to respirators is essentially saying either the government still aren’t ready 2yrs into a pandemic, or they think the public are too stupid to manage one.

Here is evidence to show that the public benefit from using respirators.

Everyone should have access to a respirator that fits them. Governments should give out adult and child trial packs, and then people should order the one that fits them best online.

Employers of essential workers should fit test their employees and make available a supply of suitable respirators for those that can wear them.

There should be a government sponsored ad on TV and other MSM teaching people the importance of respirator use.

In particular, people that have low income should be supported in accessing respirators by the government. This is a vital public health measure for adults and children that would otherwise be unable to protect themselves and are at increased risk of severe disease.
