What Exactly Is The Point Of A Mask Mandate, Anyway?

If you don't believe they work, why push a mask mandate at all? If they work, you are protected.

It is annoying and I am not wearing a mask to make you feel better.

Once the vaccines became available the rather thin argument for mask mandates evaporated.

Mask mandates were still in effect for months or, in some cases, over a year once the vaccines rolled out.

Then you are confronted by the obvious question: if you are protected, why do you care whether other people are? If that COVID vax and your mask work so well, then my COVID means nothing to you.

Mask and vaccine mandates are implicit admission that neither masks nor vaccines work as advertised.

If masks work and vaccines work then people who want protection already have access to it.

It literally makes no sense if you believe that masks and vaccines work. And if you don’t believe they work, why push a mask mandate at all? If they work, you are protected. If they don’t, shut up about them. It is annoying and I am not wearing a mask to make you feel better.

Once the vaccines became available the rather thin argument for mask mandates evaporated. Before everybody who got pushed vaccines on us in government and public health started announcing they were once again infected with COVID they had been assuring us that it was impossible to get infected once you had the vaccine.

They always knew that was a lie, but let’s give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they were mistaken. Mask mandates were still in effect for months or, in some cases, over a year once the vaccines rolled out. So Fauci and the COVID crowd were wearing masks, surrounded by people wearing masks, and were vaccinated. Yet they still contracted COVID.

Still, let’s give them the presumption that COVID-19 vaccines work and that masks work. Then what?
