"...but 70% said it made them feel safer."

Well let's hang into that one for a sec. Now why would we think that 70% of young people thought that? Was it by any chance because they saw all the grown-ups doing it, who told them it would make them safer, who appealed to authority?

It is beginning to seem (to me anyway) that all the waffle we've heard and been told about masks for almost two years is just that - waffle. I've yet to see a single piece of evidence for mask-wearing that can't be demolished by resort to real science. I saw a big hairy bloke in Morrisons this afternoon who was unmasked. There was also a healthy-looking young woman, unmasked, to whom social distancing was clearly an alien concept. And do you know summat? I didn't give a damn!

We shouldn't need to talk about masks. We need to be talking about the arseholes (such as Djokovic) who refuse to get vaccinated. You'd think, wouldn't you, that internet mask-squabblers (who still wear their masks, by the way) were the big problem. Well they're not. It's the anti-vaxxers and the refusers. Most of whom got their motivations from Facebook. Hands up all you Facebookers...
