Please ignore tired pieces in publications like the Atlantic that are still trying to stigmatize mask wearing.
Wearing a mask to prevent sickness from airborne viruses is a science-informed position, and it has been that way for over 100 years.

I have masked consistently since 2019.
My husband tried to force me to stop.
I left him.
I have still never had Covid, despite him actively trying to get me sick with it.
Masks work.
YOU DO NOT WANT RSV

Thank that lot for the need to make masks illegal.
now wear them… 😖
I wonder why they didn’t wear them during the pandemic? 🤔
"mind your own damn business"
Guarantee that the antimasker and non trolley returner venn diagram is a single circle.
Recently, I was made to leave a store because I was wearing a mask. One of the employees told me I was "stupid" for wearing it. He declined when I invited him to go outside and make me take it off. 🤬
If you show up, you should be willing to own it.
But not everyone who wears a mask, is doing it for that reason.
Some really need to.
I just have heard that "those masked insurrectionists" were "antifa" for so damn long,
I want it to be REALLY REALLY clear.
I don't want him to be able to spin it.
I want us to own it, in such a clear way.
But I get you.
The state wants to murder the marginalized and you want them in facial recog traps. You imagine this is a drill.
I don't imagine anything of the kind.
People bullshitting and acting like MAGAs got us into this trouble.
People who switched parties just to meddle.
Lying figurehead politicians.
Grassroots sees it.
It's why we exist.
We wish we didn't have to.
Hiding and playing games is MAGA work.
They opted out.
And you want to create greater confusion?
As if they won't come for you anyway?
It is you that is living in a land of make-believe.
And giving people false senses of security
Which is even more dangerous.
COVID created an entire new group of health paranoid people that come to psych wards we need to unwind.
Thank you All🥰❤️🥰
I caught the '95 Avian sars virus. I ran a 104° fever for days burning my Lungs to scars. Masking is Not funny
2005 Valley Fever I lost speech, swallowing & Lungs Hurt to exhale so I stayed prone most days. Yrs to get Medicare.
Can you talk louder please? No I can't
He laughed! & Called me 'patient #1 of the new epidemic'.
Next month he's gone but new Dr is uhh well too new & paranoid to be in same office with #1 virus patient
Wear MASKS!
You would to if your immune system left the building and you make NO antibodies to any vaccines!
I'll be masking.
He’s repugnant like every one of his idols. Cohn, Putin, Orban.
The issue was mandating the wearing of masks in public spaces.
If you’re sick or are around potentially sick people, by all means wear a mask or face shield.
With the pro-disease fools in charge now it should be encouraged for everyone.
Even THEY knew.
Is that accurate?
"Oh, I have to wear one by court order. I'm an ebola carrier."
I think this was the latest/last diagram posted that I saved before I left Twitter. You get the idea.

The sheer speed at which they run away is quite amusing.
Umm okay … sounds super logical. Get well soon.
It reflects intentional systematic dismantling of govt/econ crash. Media (famous person?) track it daily. Make it real.
"Unless someone’s COVID-cautious habits have been causing major problems in their life, there’s no point in trying to discourage them, Taylor said. “I would let people choose their level of comfort with threats. That’s their decision.”"

anecdotal: before pandemic I caught a cough lasting 1-2 weeks after every single long-haul flight, but didn't really feel sick then
To me, it's currently more the idea that with high co2 levels I have to breathe in air that has already been exhaled by other ppl
The article might have point to situations where masks will always be necessary as a learning from the pandemic, like the health system.
On a recent hospital stay, every single staff member was masking. Everyone.
I would wear one anyway, but it reinforces my decision from people in healthcare.
