Well that's rather ironic

You're quite literally proving my point
It used to be a valid question because the culture around masks was different before covid (where I live). Now people are more informed about types of masks and how to utilize them properly. If someone asks now, I just inform them; but the taboo is no longer really a thing. Some masks can protect others, some masks can protect both user and others.
Most I deal with now is someone pushing their ideologies about "not wearing one if you're not sick". And I'll try and inform them if they care to listen. My wife is immunosuppressed and I work as an ICU nurse; I don't play with fire when it could possibly end with me losing her, over something as simple as being aware. And neither of us have gotten covid yet, so we're doing something right.
Misinformation about masking and general public hygiene is it's own pandemic
Disposable KF94's are the way to go. I re-use them as safely as I can, because I'm not rich, but then discard them when they become compromised
Wear a mask appropriately, wash your hands, and be safe! And mRNA based vaccines are heavily researched already (and freaking cool to me), but sorry you have go through a website TOS to get a vaccine... that does sound kinda dumb for accessibility. I can just walk into a pharmacy and ask for one the same day. Though I'm pretty sure I'm still signing a TOS on paper regardless, cause that's just kinda how risk/benefit works. Wish you all the best though and good luck!
That's the damn truth lol. I wish I would've known and used masks more appropriately before; could have avoided a bunch of little respiratory infections. The most I would have had to deal with is people asking "are you sick?" because I'm wearing a mask
Wear a Mask. Get vaccinated. Stop spreading misinformation
Since the anti-mask/vax comments seem to be flooding in, figured I'd make my opinion known too... as obnoxiously as I can, because apparently that's how it's done
The anti maskers/vaxxers are just loud and like to make their opinion known. I don't really give a fuck anymore who wears a mask or not, I just stay safe and try to keep others safe. People are gonna be dumb no matter what you do. Just wish they weren't so fucking vocal about pushing misinformation, while being so confidently incorrect.
I really like the KF94's personally, they're more comfortable for me. Definitely look into them if you haven't already!
Edit: By looking at your upvotes vs the loud minority, you can tell what people around here think lol. A lot of instances don't allow downvotes (mine for one), so upvotes are the only option
Damn. TDL I'm crazy
"middle fingers akimbo" has been appreciated
I also wake up to take my adhd medicine, and then sleep for another hour. Makes waking up less... chaotic
