"Wait, it's all Marxism?" "Always has been."
Amid rising COVID-19 cases, a new poll conducted by Rasmussen Reports shows 76 percent of Democrats support a mask mandate, an increase from a 2022 poll.

Medical or surgical masks
Ten studies took place in the community, and two studies in healthcare workers. Compared with wearing no mask in the community studies only, wearing a mask may make little to no difference in how many people caught a flu-like illness/COVID-like illness (9 studies; 276,917 people); and probably makes little or no difference in how many people have flu/COVID confirmed by a laboratory test (6 studies; 13,919 people). Unwanted effects were rarely reported; discomfort was mentioned.
N95/P2 respirators
Four studies were in healthcare workers, and one small study was in the community. Compared with wearing medical or surgical masks, wearing N95/P2 respirators probably makes little to no difference in how many people have confirmed flu (5 studies; 8407 people); and may make little to no difference in how many people catch a flu-like illness (5 studies; 8407 people), or respiratory illness (3 studies; 7799 people). Unwanted effects were not well-reported; discomfort was mentioned.
Do physical measures such as hand-washing or wearing masks stop or slow down the spread of respiratory viruses? | Cochrane
Aren't you the ones telling us we need to "listen to the experts" and "follow the science?" Sheesh, stop with the covidiocy - none of the mandated interventions you so avidly supported (and still do despite the mounting evidence that they did more harm than good) moved the needle on transmission and outcomes. You want to wear a mask? Go right ahead - but I'm not a brain dead moron so I'll not be going along to get along this time around. Any of you lefties who feel the urge to give me sh*t about not wearing a mask better get your dukes up...
