no #science or #democracy with #censorship.
glad i copied this comment i just made...
(they've got me on ignore, so diaspora silently auto-deletes my comment.)
... i had a suspicion... from the content of the original post.
Of course; why would you have stopped wearing them?
perhaps the studies done in the 1990s, and other times, that showed they not only did not reduce spready of pathogens and disease, but increased them, and increased both nocebo stress, and overconfidence, worsening outcomes both directions, such that warnings were put on packaging that they did not protect nor prevent spread... or any of the other studies that showed the same results... or any of the recent studies likewise showing it has no effect at preventing spread, or that show harms from breathing in fibers deep into the lungs, and create a warm wet microbe incubation layer, and chronic low level hypoxia imparing both immune system and cognitive reasoning capacity...?
... i remember nurses talking about this when i was in hospital in 2002, aware of the studies^, as much as aware of the P.N.A.C. and its plans for the fraudulently patented sars cov 2...
so i never even started.

i wish you well in being able to present more information for those with stubborn prejudicial confirmation bias and la-la-la-la-not-listening-to-you ignorance-censorship reflex, so they can entertain an idea past their willful ignorance and arrogance.
i welcome any new information... especially if it contradicts and challenges my information. ... remember when that was the public-scientific norm? it can be again, and we can continue to evolve the #noosphere.
perhaps i should spend a day colating such studies... ... ugh... so slow. cant other people just do their own #research charging through, churning through research papers? why i gotta keep #references? ... oh that's right. science.
silly scruffy artist scatter-brain me. oops. shouldnt have presumptively expected higher things of other people, especially those with lower aptitudes. double especially those who've succumbed to the #psychelogical #traps.
