I really want the pandemic—the hundreds of millions with Long Covid, the tens of millions dead—to mean something. Like cleaner indoor air, normalised masking, funding for post-viral illnesses. Instead, we got mask bans, disability cuts and an anti-vaxxer in the White House
Whoa whoa, the government is NOT anti-mask.
Take ICE for example...
They are anti-mask for anything other than secret police actions.
Those are specifically bad for masks because the loose material is one of the worst for breathing filtration. A few restaurants used them but they were discouraged in a lot of official guidance later on.
