I disagree with your point on why they want to force others to wear a mask. I believe it is a much more deeply rooted cause and that they are using this logic to rationalize their belief. I say this because this logic misses one very important fact, a cognitive dissonance if you will. Whether I wear a mas or not does not affect my chances of spreading the COVID or any other virus IF I do not have the virus to begin with. They are ignoring this fact and the actual transmission/infection rates because they are wearing masks and have bought into the concept of it being a good thing to do. They further this cognitive dissonance by arguing that you can spread the germs before you are symptomatic, which implies that I might have COVID and not realize it.03Lightningrocks wrote: ↑Thu Mar 11, 2021 7:06 amYour response has nothing to do with what I said. Regardless of who or why people have been lead to believe it, The reason there are people who want others to wear a mask is that a mask does not protect the wearer, it is suppose to keep the wearer from accidentally spreading the virus to others through their spittle. It has nothing to do with shame. It is about self preservation and what they feel needs to happen to achieve it.
They also ignore the reports of how well the masks work or do not work. Do you remember the report that said that wearing a mask made out of regular cloth, such as a bandana, is likely to spread the virus further by breaking up the droplets into smaller droplets that carry farther in the air than they would have otherwise. It was on mainstream media for a few days but disappeared quickly.
