I don't know what this phenomenon is, but I'm getting to where I just can't stand the mask so much that if I see someone wearing it, I assume several things about them:

  • They are a mindless authoritarian
  • They are a conformist
  • They are a meat golem
  • They have no soul
  • They have no mind
  • They are cowards
  • They are also idiots
  • They are PATHOLOGICALLY INCURIOUS (this to me is the biggest offense)
  • They are so brainwashed, they say "SCIENCE" and I know they don't know it
  • They say I'm a stupid white supreme pizza working class redneck q tard. I have a masters degree in IT; 25 ish yrs ago as undergrad I took over 50 hours of college level science w/ calc (chemistry, organic and physics) in an engineering oriented university. Many of us here have similar or better education. Those saying 'science' I am pretty sure they don't know it...at all, not even from government schools.
  • You can't even tell these people something logical, because you can't convince someone who is illogical most of the time. There is no way to appeal to their fee fees either.
  • Gell-Mann amnesia described by Michael Crichton is where CNN can lie to you and you can catch them in the lie, and then still believe them about "Masks working" because they say "science" and you don't know science, so you trust it. This phenomenon is what is at play with the masks.
  • My two parents are doctors of a different type; both in biology and they both have researched the masks themselves and thought about it and know they don't work.
  • The guy who does spray insulation and painting with his N95 mask knows that if the N95 cannot stop the bullshit from coming into his mouth and nose, there is NO WAY its going to stop an airborne aerosolized virus thats 500x times smaller than the particles that his mask isn't blocking.
  • It's not rocket science to explain to someone who is reasonably minded and logical that the MINIMUM infective dose of a viral infection is ONE. One viron. Only one is needed to infect you. Therefore if it's TRULY airborne (it's not), if it were truly airborne then it would be endemic and the mask would not help you at all.
  • Since it's not really airborne, then you can practice social distancing and wash your hands. That's all that is needed.
  • Masks are good if you're coughing and sneezing, so you really only need them A) on public transportation where you're in close range with people, and B) during the fall to winter transition when people are coughing and sneezing (holiday season)...and its to keep them from spraying a cloud of spittle in the air. ONLY COVID INFECTED NEED TO WEAR IT

EDIT: UPDATE:

True. We should discount those. I should have said that in my post: "except those retail employees who are compelled by their employer to wear a mask"
