> and somehow it became a partisan issue. this wasn't a partisan issue in the beginning. it only became a partisan issue when 50% of the population started getting the "scientific information about efficacy of wearing masks" via Mary from Pennsylvania on "X" same with the vaccines. the loudest pro-vaccine politicians (e.g. DeSantis) after seeing posts on "X" from our PA/MT/MO experts decided it would be super beneficial to their political career to make that a partisan issue as well :)

>it only became a partisan issue when 50% of the population started getting the "scientific information about efficacy of wearing masks" via Mary from Pennsylvania on "X" Really? Only then? No partisan aspect to official narratives about masks and virus origin being practically imposed upon the public via all narrative-sympathetic media and social media channels? No partisan aspect to the blatant hypocrisy of BLM protests being no problem in terms of mass gatherings, while any other type of mass grouping was considered wrong, and something only done by ignorant covid-deniers? Not to even mention the whole "don't use masks you selfish pig, no wait! use masks, yes, use them you ignorant bumpkin!" debacle... I guess none of these wonderfully varied and acrobatic narratives in the least bit created good reason to make large numbers of people start mistrusting the hell out of a whole range of politicians and media personalities.
