As #WearAMask trends, we mustn’t forget how mask mandates arose. Recall in March/April/May of the first wave (2020) masks were not mandatory. Some people who were very scared wore masks. Public health experts like Fauci or @CPHO_Canada reminded us the science didn’t support that.
But the mask wearers became resentful that everybody did not share their paralyzing fear. And this is when suddenly the propaganda arose that masking apparently healthy people was about ‘protecting others’. The purpose of this line of fallacy was to defeat any argument of choice.
We now have ample data from Canada and elsewhere, that COVID is seasonal & mask mandates did little-to-nothing to affect the spread.
But the mask-wearers are just as resentful as they were before—even more so now since the wide-scale abandonment of masks will give us more data.

#WearAMask if you want, but if you are honest you’ll realize the theatre serves no valid purpose for most people and in most situations. The mandatory masking of apparently healthy people indoors does virtually nothing to affect the spread of COVID, and it’s grotesque.
Seeing the faces of other humans is one of the small things which makes life worth living. If masks were highly effective at stopping the spread, then maybe mandates might have had a temporary place. But mandates are ineffective & mask wearing is anti-human. It’s time to #MaskOff
