Yeah, or the idea that maybe helmets in gridiron football increase CTE.
I see the possibility, but my own anecdotal experience with mask wearers and non-wearers jives with the other correlation: that non-wearers generally didn’t take the pandemic seriously.
The people that I know who shunned masks also ignored the COVID threat in other ways: Large gatherings, vacations to another state to escape lockdown restrictions, etc.
Whereas my religiously-masked friends were basically isolated last year.
And because I have several such anecdotes, I now have data :)
- ixacto 5y agoI wore a mask indoors. Then I got the vaccine. COVID is effectively over, unless we need booster shots this fall. But feel free to wear a mask as much as you want, at this point it is effectively a security blanket though.
- function_seven 5y agoSame here. The only time I'm wearing a mask now is when the establishment asks me to. Otherwise, I'm back to normal. Pre-vaccination, I was an indoor-only wearer.
