Or maybe they're one of 12,943 medical and public health scientists who signed the Great Barrington Declaration [0].

- Exmoor 6y agoThe declaration you linked seems to be more about lockdown policy and doesn't even mention masks.
- MaulingMonkey 6y agoIt at least mentions: > Simple hygiene measures, such as hand washing and staying home when sick should be practiced by everyone to reduce the herd immunity threshold. Wearing a mask seems like a simple hygine measure to me. Perhaps a signator might not wear a mask as a measure of protest against government "overreach", disregarding that part of the declaration, disregarding the law, and disregarding the risk of their actions to the health of their fellow citizens. That last bit seems rather hostile. Rather belligerent. So I think we're right back to square one. There are reasonable discussions and lawsuits to be had about how far is too far, and what reasonable public policy looks like. Even arguing on the internet sounds more productive to me than not wearing a mask as "protest" though.
