(2,403 posts)43. I think you and I agree on the issue.
If people want to wear a mask they should. I do sometimes. Sometimes I dont. I am vaxed. I am boosted. I think demanding that everyone at this point wear a mask is insane. That said, if airlines attendant unions want people to wear masks, then we will have to wear masks.
Politically if we keep trying to force people to wear masks we are going to get beat up pretty badly. Do politics mean more than peoples health? Yes and No. If the politics leads you to bigger public health issues then yes.
