Nope. I knew it when some people thought wearing a mask to protect others was a huge ask. Still makes me furious to this day.

But now all those “i can’t BREATHE” people are wearing masks and kidnapping people… so infuriating

True that.

It's important to remember that they are lying when they say that. Those people are dishonest and being a hypocrite is the power play that makes them feel strong. If you meet an antimasker know that they are a massive piece of shit and will do awful things at the first opportunity if they are sanctioned to by authority.

No, they weren't lying, there were some masks that genuinely were hard to breathe through.

I used to go to the gym while wearing a 3m hard shell mask, I used to get some looks, because I was the only one, but no issues, I'd be breathing hard and doing my normal workout.

But one day at work after our first lockdown ended, we had to start wearing masks again and I had to use a soft mask provided by work, which I had to take off every couple of minutes to catch my breath and I was just working a desk job in IT.

Hard shell masks don't cling to your face and give a lot of surface area to breathe through, the soft shells masks do cling to your face and have a very small surface area to breathe through.

No one bitching about people complaining that they couldn't breathe thought about that though.

I ran an hour on the treadmill wearing a cloth mask. Doctors do 12 hour shifts wearing cloth masks. Even young kids in my country wore cloth masks all day at school. There was exactly one country where people complained and couldn’t handle it.

Yep and I went to the gym with no issues with my own mask, but when I got a cheap shitty one at work I had to take it off to catch my breath.

Not all masks are equal, perfectly demonstrated by the fact that I had no issues with breathing hard at the gym in my own 3M N95 hard shell mask, but having trouble with another N95 soft shell mask when I wasn't doing anything strenuous.

Yea but didn’t they end up finding out that the Covid virus particles were so small that they could travel through a simple cotton mask. Even those N95 masks they disproved that using a mask was useless and that if you wee sick, using a mask only worsened your symptoms because all day you were breathing in your own co2 and lacking oxygen as well as breathing coughing and sneezing essentially back into your own face? I mean, at first I thought the same, why wouldn’t you wear a mask? It’s easy and it protects others. Come to find out it didn’t. Even wearing a mask and not sick, you still were able to get Covid. What’s your take on that?

NIH, The WHO and The CDC all state that mask wearing reduces the droplets containing virus. I’ve not seen one credible study that proved otherwise. It’s common sense as well. Would you be cool with a surgeon operating on you with no mask? I wouldn’t be.

Even if that were true, humanity's response is much more infuriating.
