It's interesting that the mask heads broke off into two groups.

The "go along to get along" group gave up masking as soon as new herd consensus was reached on it.

The "forever maskers" believed the earlier arguments made by health authorities and still see deaths coming in high (even though deaths aren't being amplified by media), generally realize the vaccines don't work, and have moved on from wearing any masks to only wearing higher grade masks and monitoring air quality. Many distrust health authorities now.

I actually have more respect for the forever maskers. They're at least willing to own their reasoning and act on it in the face of broad scientific unacceptance. If you're going strictly off cabal data and summaries I think the forever maskers argument may even be logically sound.

I think forever maskers will come around eventually. They'll keep getting sick even though they mask, and after they've been sick X times they just won't be able to stick to their guns any longer.
