    That's a really bizarre takeaway, and a huge switch from "I'm not going to do it," which is what I was responding to. If I see a person wearing a mask, even one of those single-ply gaiters that seems to be much less effective than three-ply cotton masks, I still understand that they are not one of the radical science-denying people that make zero effort to avoid infecting themselves and others, and are therefore dangerous. Personal responsibility sounds great, and is a good start. But also, we live in a society, so personal responsibility includes doing what you can to avoid spreading COVID-19 to others. Epidemiology is not "insecurity." That's... wow, I'm not even sure how to respond to that.
