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.
