I really don't understand why there's so much hostility towards masks. I've always worn masks when I was sick and it was never a big deal for me. Wearing a mask all the time during 2020-2023 wasn't a bother either.
I don't get it either. I was working in a hospital lab in TX for H1N1 (swine flu) in 2009. The hospital lined up all staff members to get the brand new H1N1 vaccine and you either got it or signed a declination. Declining meant you got a sticker on your badge requiring you to wear a mask for the entire flu season while at work. No fits, no protests, and everyone cooperated. My mind is blown by how toxic the rhetoric became.
