It was less than a year ago that the same experts who are now telling people to wear two masks were telling people that not only was wearing a mask not effective, but that it was actually dangerous.

Now some of those experts are telling the public that they intend on scheduling the vaccination of children (which is hardly following the science).

Experts told the public that it was okay for people to assemble in mass if it was for the correct political protests.

Certain states have mandated such arbitrary restrictions as limiting travel within the state, effectively prohibiting people from living the densely populated areas for homes they own in isolated rural areas. And told people that they had to limit the number of people on a boat to four, even if the fifth person would be someone who lives in the same home.

The point is -- there are legitimate reasons why people do not trust what they are told about this damn virus, so you may want to rethink whether people are "too ignorant to understand" or whether those who control the narrative have lost credibility.

Considering my wife was in charge of infection control at a major hospital system and has ongoing communications with many very much "in the know", I'll trust the sources I know that know best.

Interesting. I already knew that, although not a lawyer, she is a legal expert.

In any event, I am glad for you to wear a mask -- or not wear a mask. The point is that other people may have wives who tell them to do something different than what yours tells you. I don't feel the need to say they are "too ignorant to understand."

Yes. She tired of the hospital administrative side of things and switched sides and has dealt with doctors and hospitals as a malpractice claims adjuster for well over a decade now. She works with lawyers on a daily basis now. She keeps her certification active, however, as a registered nurse.

As far as being too ignorant to understand ... I'll stick with that. Being stupid and ignorant are two completely different things. You can be ignorant of certain facts regardless of how intelligent you may be. The fact is that wearing a mask gives the wearer a certain degree of protection against COVID. It is also a fact that wearing a mask gives a great deal of resistance to spreading the virus as an active carrier. The combination of the two, along with proper distancing, makes the transference of the virus extremely unlikely. Whereas, the absence of all three creates an atmosphere where transferring the virus is quite likely.

While ignorance is bad, the knowing refusal of one to protect themselves and others is far worse. Sad.
