Would you take the unvaccinated version of yourself to a movie theater that was mandatory masks but had 14 covid positive people there shedding? ... because you believe that masks "slow the spread."?

Thing is, with out knowing HOW MUCH masks slow the spread, you have zero idea whether masks have a net positive effect, or a net negative effect (people get closer than they should, because they feel protected.)

Well, until you look at the stat's and see mask compliance shot up and then cases shot up. But let's not apply science to any of this. People feel that they must help, so, end of discussion.
