Remember "concentration camps for the unvaccinated?"
There's still people out there convinced that their knit face masks would save the world from Sin if only everyone else would wear them too.
Has a mania for orthodoxy ever served a society positive results? Why do we keep buying these fads? Why do we hate those who urge caution while they're running?

- orbz 3y agoI think this, like many cases, was a perfect storm of lack of information, good intentions and individual profit mongering. Medical masks have proven overwhelmingly effective in stopping the spread of airborne diseases like COVID. Knit/cloth masks however barely did a thing. We were in a situation where we heard wearing masks was beneficial, and often times required in certain areas, but no restrictions around the _type_ of mask worn. In fact with the supply chain issues that were being faced the majority were unable to acquire N95/KN95 masks during critical periods. Regardless I’m not going to ever look down upon people who did what they thought best in trying to stop a pandemic.
