It absolutely could. This is just the "slippery slope fallacy fallacy": assuming that all slippery slope arguments are fallacious. Complete nonsense. Reasonable precautions aren't a slippery slope. They never have been and they never will be, yet every time one comes up we get people screaming about it. Another mistake you make is assuming that everybody you talk to on this site lives in the US. I can assure you that not only I was "forced" to wear a mask, in many parts of the world people lost their jobs for refusing to do so. The vast majority do live in the US. If you choose to refuse requirements of your job, that's on you. I am not inclined to adopt a technique of uncertain effectiveness and potential unknown consequences You're literally afraid of change. You see something that requires adaptation and you recoil in horror, and make up a bunch of nonsense to rationalize your fearful reaction. Grow up.
