Research suggests that pandemics are more likely to reduce rather than build trust in scientific and political authorities.

But I can't breathe!

Seriously, I had to fly a bunch for an elderly family member during 2021. I wore two masks in the airport and on planes. I saw a chuckhead come out of the airplane bathroom with his mask down, realize it, and quickly put it back on. My guy. Is it that fucking onerous to wear?!

By the way, the only time I've had covid was in 2023. I think three years without getting it was a pretty good run. I wouldn't say masks weren't a part of that run.
