The anti-maskers make no sense to me. Why take away a mitigation technique? Why diminish it? Does it not help? Is it not scientifically proven to help?

I understand it's not the only variable, but it cuts transmission 6 fold. It's asinine to argue against wearing a mask just because it's not a 100% effective tool. It's only 97% effective.

Between remdesiver, masks, & social distancing we could stop the virus in its tracks and delay until we have viable vaccineS (plural) this coming spring. To diminish mitigation techniques between now and then is nonsensical. It's become the most ridiculous political argument since "climate change isn't real." Science is stupid***
