You are preaching to the idiots.
Morons like this are what brings conservatives into disrepute. What stupid idiot twists wearing a mask with tyranny? This is the knee jerk squad in action.
These people would look great wearing ventilators or better yet with crossed arms as they lay in the casket.
In reading your first two sentences...I am sure that you are talking of those “karens” who want to force masks on everyone all the time. Freedom does have some risks, you know.
I agree with you. It isn’t tyranny. They’re just trying to offer vulnerable people some protection, any kind of protection. Masks don’t stop the inhalation of aerosols and aerosols are one way the virus is being spread.
However, masks that fit well may prevent you from inhaling an infected person’s spit or mucus that they expel when they cough and they’re crowding you in the grocery store and they aren’t wearing a mask.
It’s just a measure to try to stop some of the virus particles so elderly and those with an underlying health problem that makes them vulnerable aren’t forced to barricade themselves at home and never go out.
It’s the best that can be done at this point until there’s a vaccine. The typical face mask is not PPE. The CDC website says it isn’t.
