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!

@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.

@rose @luckytran People get bitten by mosquitoes while sleeping in their homes, but they still invest in screens for their windows. 😉​
