Masks are purely political. Almost all of Coronavirus response is purely political.

That's why the recommendations change based on your political affiliation, and why black people are apparently immune to coronavirus when they are engaging in riots.

I don't think masks are purely political, but I do think politics have had a bigger role with them than there shoulda been. Look at all people being called idiots for going to the beach, meanwhile the mainstream media has put out numerous articles claiming that the BLM protests did little to spread the virus.

Reasoning in reverse from MSM cant will result in the conclusion that all truth is subjective politics. Which is why you don't determine truth by what a liar says.

Masks reduce spread, it's just that politicians care more about their political careers than they do the health of their constituents.

There's a hairy constitutional rights question here, because even though there is supreme court precedent establishing that measures that curb individual rights can be imposed in certain circumstances, you are still arresting protesters, and you're going to be smeared as someone that doesn't care about minorities and is part of "the system".

Fair or not, the reason the protesters got a pass is because they have political clout. But I would disagree if you're saying that the evidence doesn't point to masks reducing the spread of COVID-19.

Fauci said at first that masks don't reduce the spread, and everyone shamed people for questioning that narrative. Relatively recently, Fauci admitted that he was lying because there weren't enough masks.

Frankly, he should be fired on the spot for that. His job should be telling the truth, not lying then smugly explaining that his lie was for the greater good.

Now that there are masks, they are acting the exact same except in the polar opposite direction.

It's purely political. Follow orders, don't my question anything.
