<p dir="auto">Also, flu was highly mortal at the time, and people were acutely aware of this.</p>
<p dir="auto">I lost my parents because of an asymptomatic idiot who refused to wear a mask and wash his hands, yet insisted of visiting them. That person literally killed them.</p>
<p dir="auto">I still consider anyone who consciously refused to wear a mask or get vaccinated during the last pandemic as selfish criminals and murderers who should be held accountable.</p>

And they exit through mouth and nose (specifically for respiratory illness like covid-19).<br />
So unless you touch your mouth and nose you should not have any amount of viruses on your hands. And touching your moth and nose, knowing you are potentially exposing yourself or others to a contagious virus, are things you shouldn't do. It's about protecting others maybe more than it is about protecting yourself.</p>

So good intentions but would have been more effective if the policy was reversed.</p>

I think the viruses are always bound in saliva and thus are always bound in particulates that are big enough to get caught by the ffp2 mask.</p>

<p dir="auto">'public health leaders rebranded personal care as a display of patriotism and duty to make men to wear masks.'</p>
<p dir="auto">'In 1927, Edwin Jordan’s definitive study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association as a series of articles and then as a book, determined that masks were effective when worn by patients already sick or by those directly exposed to victims, including nurses and physicians.'</p>

<p dir="auto">The whole mask thing was a a distraction drama like blm. We all know blm but the pop.marketing made it drama. A tool for division.</p>
<p dir="auto">In the end understand psychological warfare. 2020 was a learning period of psychological warfare. Fighting for what was real and right became psychological. How do we combat both at the same time without driving hate (anti blm, anti mask).</p>
<p dir="auto">What happened in in 2020 obviously didn't work. Or else we wouldn't be living in shit now. 2020 was a proof of concept.</p>
<p dir="auto">Rethink. Rebuild.  Sacrifice.</p>
<p dir="auto">America isn't on the side of humanity. That's truth. And if you haven't figured that out I suggest a detox of American culture until you regain an honest sense of humanity.</p>
<p dir="auto">One vengeance for all. Wishful thinking would say iran is the only one truly fighting back.  But we will have to see what happens in the days coming for that statement to be true. (I don't say that in "Support" but simple fact of reality....)</p>
