I don't think "masks is a "machlokes haposkim" by the goyim" at all.
The politicians may debate whether or not to mandate mask wearing, but I dont recall any legitimate scientific side that advocated against mask wearing.
In any case, if you're in a local where it's mandated or advised, "keeping a low profile" includes wearing a mask -especially if you're asked to.
u can call it whatever u want, but fact is that about half of US citizens are gonna vote for a man who until basically forced to, refused to wear a mask.
and he isnt jewish.
but of course the jews are to blame, as said so eloquently (spelling mistakes in original) by one of our own:
For hundreds of years jews have been blamed for pandemics and for spreading disease, based on the way certain segments of the Frum communities are behaving maybe there are right.
u may be right that "if you're in a local where it's mandated or advised, "keeping a low profile" includes wearing a mask -especially if you're asked to", but the same would then apply to if u are in a local of "anti maskers" keeping a low profile would require u to remove youre mask.
meaning that being in galus has nothing to do with wearing masks, it just means תתכופף ותחכה עד שהגל יעבור
