Masks work, but aren't magic. They can't instantly end the pandemic alone. Anti-maskers exploit this nuance to trick people into not wearing them.
But you make a difference in every space you wear a mask, by making that space more accessible to higher risk people. That's huge!
When the pandemic hit I thought Musk would see another chance to gather a group of smart people and have them innovate the shit out of Covid protection, treatment and workplace environment like they did with SpaceX and Tesla... but of course, it just showed musk was an idiot and he started spouting conspiracy theories and bullsh!t showing us who he really was.
@luckytran Nice.
People who wear seat belts still perish in vehicle collisions. Those who wear condoms yet impregnate. Tooth-brushing people sometimes still get dental cavities. Pedestrians wearing bright clothing still get mowed down by careless motorists. Yet we - even anti-maskers and other horrible people - still take measures to reduce risk.
Pertinent.
If only we had an erudite population that valued such things.
And higher risk people are about a third of the population
The problem is that masks have been sold to the public as the magic solution that can end the pandemic. This was a huge mistake. Overselling and underdelivering is one of the reasons why the public lost faith.
