What can possible be their logic at this point? I thought masks were dumb from day one. A virus spreads. I knew quite a few people who got covid (all were asymptomatic or mild symptoms) that wore masks all the time

There's no logic. They are simply so invested in their hysteria that they cannot let go.

Luckily fewer and fewer people are willing to play along.

The second they admit they were wrong about one thing is the second they end up becoming an apostate of the Church of Leftism.

I thought masks were dumb from day one. A virus spreads.

It wasn't about preventing spread, that was the official narrative. Masks were about a visual feedback so that dumbfucks out there see masks and think that Something™ is being done. What is this Something™? Who the fuck knows, but you should definitely trust the government that Something™ is being done for your benefit.

Never underestimate the desire of government to lie to their people and employ psyops against them.

A security blanket.

That's more the aftermath result for many people. I truly do feel sorry for them that the psyop impacted them so much. But at the same time, if you're that weak willed, you probably deserve it to some extent.

At my job, there are some people who do most of their work shifts outside. There's this one guy who's always wearing a mask, even when there's no one even remotely near him. And there are still some who work inside who never take them off. Me telling them things such as:

"It's barely worse than a common cold for your age demographic" and

"Masks do nothing to prevent the spread" or

"You spent more than 50 years of your life without constantly wearing masks and you were fine, so why are you so convinced that suddenly you need to wear one for the rest of your life?" or even

"See how your glasses are fogging up when you're wearing the mask and it's slightly cold? That's evidence that the air is not even being filtrated. It's just going through the path of least resistance, around your mask."

all do nothing to convince them to act any differently, so I stopped bothering a year ago.

Because it's not based in rationality. It is, as Assassin above pointed out, a security blanket. It does nothing, and they probably know that, but they don't care. It makes them fEeL like they're protected. And that's all that matters. The world could tell them it was poisonous (which with bacterial pneumonia, it kinda is), and they'd still wear them.

Even Fauci said the non surgical masks weren’t effective at the beginning and also encouraged healthy habits to fight covid. If only he had stuck with that.

"Dr" "Aids is airborne" Fauci would never have stuck with that. He's wanted a major pandemic all his life, and he finally managed to lie his way into one.

Security theatre, at it's finest. No different to making you take off your shoes at the airport. Doesn't fucking do anything but it creates a grand spectacle that makes people think it does something.

“Do what we tell you, no matter how stupid.”

That’s their logic.

I'll bet the University book store sells masks.

Follow the money.

Authoritarians feel the need to constantly show like they are in control. They think that if they don't constantly remind people that they (the authoritarians) have control over the people, then the people might realize that they don't need to follow the authoritarians. Governmental buck breaking, by power hungry tyrannical monsters.

I gotta question how Canada became this retarded, I can't think of any other member of the commonwealth that even gives a shit about masks anymore.

Well declaring an emergency that 9/11 didn't warrant for trucks with working horns seems to just be the latest in the great grating Northern Experiment.

Because Canada is basically owned by the Chinese, at this point.

mask manufacturers probably bribed a key decision maker.

NSW in Australia is on the brink of putting them back on. Though this place is at least as retarded as Canada.

The hero Canada needs but doesn't deserve.

The people still wandering around with cloth masks amuse me greatly. If you're going to virtue signal your psychosis at least invest in a proper full face mask.

It's hard to be amused at the retards walking down the street with no one else is sight or driving alone in their car wearing their magic talisman to ward off the demons.

I got a better idea. Set off a stink bomb. Nothing dangerous, just a horrible smell. Then watch as faculty tries to claim the masks that did not protect them from the smell, protected them from covid.
