You know, I am old enough to remember (because I am older than 3 years old) the conversation going like this
- Masks work! You're a science denier! MY MASK PROTECTS YOU AND YOUR MASK PROTECTS ME!
- Ok, masks work
at least a little bit, by stopping me from breathing on YOU with DROPLETS!
- Ok, so, we don't *actually* have any studies proving that masks work, but the Bangladesh study proves they do!
- Ok, so the CLOTH masks don't work- I can't even believe you'd ever believe that lol you're so dumb- we meant N95 masks!
- Ok, so the N95's don't actually work unless they're properly fitted, you NEVER touch them, and they move less than 2-5% on your face (the fit tolerance).
- Ok, well the masks are still a good idea, even if we don't have any proof, it's not like it's harming children in ways we have never seen in history or setting back their development
years.
- Oh, turns out masks of all kinds were not effective at stopping the spread of COVID and the harm they've done is irreparable and unconscionable. We should just like, agree to amnesty?
To be clear- if you ever supported masks, or asked someone to put a mask on, or tattle-tailed on someone for not having theirs on- go fuck yourself. If you're reading this on the board here and think I am mean, please read words 27-29 in the first sentence.
