Anti-mask people seem absolutely incapable of absorbing the simple point that wearing a mask is not to protect you, it's to protect other people from you.
The chief reason COVID is so deadly is that there is a relatively long period of time that you can infect others before you start to show symptoms yourself. Anti-mask people seem to have successfully shouted this point out of the debate.
Of course this unique state of affairs did not exist when that interview was done.
Just bad faith argument after bad faith argument.
- jjgreen 5y agoMask people, why do you keep changing the narrative? Try a search in you favourite search engine, "masks protect the wearer" (without quotes), there you will find several results (10,000,000 on Google) most of which explain yes, of course they do, mostly from 2020. Could it be that the science is now moving against "protects the wearer"? So you retreat to the almost unfalsifiable "protects others", in the same way that the religious retreat from "God made man" to "God made the universe where evolution can happen" to "God made the conditions for the big bang"?
- blacksqr 5y agoI'm so old I remember the beginning of the pandemic. The narrative has been there from the beginning. The challenge has been to keep it from being shouted out of the public discourse. What Google search of four common English words doesn't return 10,000,000 results?
