But....if I take off my mask, people can see how ugly I am! And it makes them angry!
Removing one’s mask is not at all the same thing as walking around with genitals exposed, but some put the two different acts in the same category.
Repeat after me - Masks. Do. Not. Work. Certainly not for the purposes claimed for them. Masks might stop a little particulate dust, but certainly not virus particles.
Masks are, and always have been, performance theater.
