... they are deliberately or ignorantly misrepresenting the purpose of the mask. It is to protect others from the infected by reducing transmission, not to protect against infection.
I am amazed that this still needs saying.

Of course, this fact is deliberately ignored by some, since they want to tell people that mask wearing is solely about their personal freedom - not about their duty to their fellow human beings.
The problem seems to be that some people, particularly hard right conservatives, and even more especially the MAGA Trumpist variety, are just incorrigibly selfish. Nothing matters more to them than their own, precious personal freedom to do whatever they want, even if it inconveniences or endangers others.
No precept or claim is more suspect or more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

If their kids are sent home from school with the flu, do they whine about tyranny and their right to infect anyone they please? No. But COVID is a convenient political tool so they act differently, pretending to be oppressed. But not when President was Trump.

My understanding was that the rate of infection decreased.
Well how did that happen with so many people in the US who refused to get vaccinated?
And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

What's wrong with you? Seriously.

More than 70% of the country is now fully vaccinated with 80% getting at least one shot.

That all happened under Biden. Your boy Trump illicitly takes credit for vaccines being created, but a vaccine means nothing unless the general population takes it. Ever since Biden whipped him in the election, Trumpers have fought tooth and nail to make sure fewer Americans take the vaccine. Idiots on FOX News like Tucker Carlson said the vaccines are killing more people than they're saving. They're literally willing to kill themselves if they think it can somehow hurt the Libs. You belong to a suicide cult.

BREAKING: Fox host Maria Bartiromo just angrily forced herself to report on Biden’s stellar jobs report... and it's hilarious.

What if someone gets Covid from you?
I have got into the habit of mask wearing, and it doesn't bother me at all. It protects others, and I shall keep on with it for a while yet.
Isn't everyone in Great Britain vaccinated? What has to happen before you stop wearing a mask or is this forever?

Being vaccinated saves you from serious illness or death, certainly, but you can still get infected by Omicron, and pass it on to others. For the vulnerable or unvaccinated (there are still some, though not many), that can be dangerous.

So I'll stick with it as long as it helps protect my fellow citizens. Why wouldn't I?

Are masks mandatory in Great Britain. As Kishkumen pointed out, hardly anyone wears a mask in Florida anymore. I noticed that even the anti Trump Karen I posted in another thread wasn't wearing her mask.

I think England dropped their mandate. Scotland postponed dropping their mandate as the Omicron variant began to rise. The video with anti Trump lady was taken before the pandemic. Florida is going full FAFO with the next wave.

I may wear a mask in certain settings for the rest of my life.
