Rationalizing is a good thing. It is thinking based on logic and reason. As opposed to irrational thinking, which is based on neither
Imposing mask mandates is just a method of controlling the population. Softening them up for the next step in communism.
I will say this. If you want to wear a mask based on some bogus scientific reasoning by a politician like Inslee or Fuaci, who has gone back and forth on whether to wear on or not, that's fine.
But to criticize others as "rationalizing" because they don't think it's necessary is arrogant. I have just as much right to an opinion based on rationale as you do on what basis I don't know. You don't give any evidence that they are effective.
There are many doctors who say wearing a mask is not good for you. What about them? The OSHA regulations dictate the oxygen intake for masks and no one is checking that out. Many people cannot wear mask because of COPD, asthma, or sicknesses like bronchitis or pneumonia.
If all people don't wear a mask then they are useless. I have never worn a mask since this started. I live on a 30 acre cattle farm and they seem pointless. I walk for 45 minutes every morning on the highway shoulder in front of my farm and have literally had people like you stop and tell me the county requires masks. Really? Busy bodies.

I'll tell you the same I told others. I could care less whether you wear a mask or not. It is no concern of mine. Nor would it be if you were a few feet away from me in a store or anywhere else. The reason I say masks work is simple: because they seem to work. Not 100%, not appropriate for some people, etc. I am arguing for facts here, not arguing to force you to do it.
