I’ve said it before. I’ve listen to this over and over again.
From people that can’t climb a flight of stairs anymore.
“They aren’t high risk.”
Because it’s scary to think you are abandoned, an outsider, expendable.
It’s not just the dying that scares people. It’s the dying alone.

Every single person over 50 that I knew at the time bailed on masking immediately.
Every. Single. One.
The high-risk categories also named people with cancer, the immunocompromised, etc…
All of whom were a bit slower to drop masking, but they soon bailed too. (2/7)

What Steve said. There has never been a study in which high-quality, well-fitting masks were actually WORN that did not show a significant impact on disease transmission. Many mask studies failed to take account of post-allocation confounders (non-adherence + non-mask people choosing to mask).
So, to those who say "masks don't work", cite the flawed Cochrane report, insist upon an unfeasible RCT, accuse folks of panic, and undermine public health on social and mainstream media during a flu/RSV epidemic...
