I don’t know whether it is cause and effect or inappropriate use of statistical correlations. One might hypothesize that slavish adherence to mask wearing guidelines is an intelligence test, and those who choose to do so already had a mental deficit. So it’s not so much cause and effect as sorting the population into group A and group B. And group B are sheep and sheep are, well, just dumb sheep, not to deprecate any real live sheep.
Exactly! I’ll wear a mask if absolutely required (protect retailer from state snoops)...but I see most mask wearers otherwise as stoopid, especially when OUTSIDE!
