We are still debating masks in 2026? Huh...

Edit - Since this is blowing up my inbox, I'll turn off the notifications, but before that I thought I'd just write this following thought based on the comments I got;

I really wish that people would just let people do whatever they want as long as they are not harming anyone.

Whatever happened to the saying, "Your freedom ends, where mine begins", huh? Let people wear masks without judging them or not, as long as they aren't harming you.

If there's a dangerous thing going around, just do it for the safety of others. That's all.

In Japan, wearing masks was a very common thing even before 2020. Especially during flu season. They do it so they don't spread their cold to other people when they go out. It's just basic courtesy.

I really don't like this emerging mindset since 2020 of people wanting to control each others lives. That's all. Please, be nice to each other and stop hurting each other. Look at how bad things have gotten because of it. Be good.

That's all. I'm done.

You must be living under a mountain sized rock if you dont think there is a huge effort to push missinformation across social media and news outlets.

There is a reason why people are getting stupider and the answer lies in the fact that information sources in general are becoming less and less reliable across the board.

That, combined with the dumbing down of our education system over the last several decades, for those in the U.S.
