I find this to be a huge issue among "mask pushers", they assume that by overstating the effectiveness and/or the need for masks it will convince more people to wear masks. In reality everyone sees right through the deception and it just undermines your arguement. There are many examples here on the forums as well as other places a few examples are
- People who wear masks while driving down the highway
- People who wear masks while walking down wide empty roads
- I believe it was in WA, there was a state agency who put out a memo requiring their employees to wear masks on zoom conferences with people from outside the agency.
All it does is make people look and say these people are crazy.
After 6 months to find one you have yet to quote a single study or doctor disagreeing, yet still pretend there are two sides. The silence is deafening.
I’ll say it again, and it’s easy to show that I’m wrong- it’s very easy to disprove an argument claiming an absolute negative with even very slight evidence:
There is NOBODY in the medical world who disagrees. Nobody.
It’s idiotic to claim that because a few people wear masks in situations you disagree with, everybody who believes in mask wearing (around 7 billion people, give or take) is crazy.
I hope you don’t claim that actions of a few in every group speak for the whole.. or else all cops must be racist murderers.
