I did a little bit of research and I have a small insight into the mask hatred. Before you blast me, I do *NOT* believe this. I am reporting it. If me telling you this makes you hate me then you& #39;re not better than any other fascist& #39;s we/they world view.

Here it is:
Read above before replying ^^^^^^:

"You shamed everyone for not wearing masks, then millions of people protested and gathered without masks and you said that was alright, then you said the rise in covid wasn& #39;t from the protests, but from me not wearing a mask, so fuck you."
Read before replying ^^^^^:

There is clearly a hell of a lot of crazy conspiracy theory going on, but I think a major catalyst of the hatred is the constant inconsistency in what people are told to do, and how they& #39;re shamed or not shamed for wearing masks arbitrarily.

So, getting rid of the conspiracy will be nearly impossible because everyone putting out information about mask wearing is also someone who& #39;s using "double speak and lies" as well.

Now, does that mean some apologies and admissions of guilt would help?
Read before replying ^^^:

Probably not, as it& #39;s already too late, but I think it could help if the Surgeon General admitted he was lying, and if doctors admitted that the protests did spike the virus, and then a lot of apologies for misleading people in various ways.
I also think that shame is not working at all (it never has really). I think there has to be a change in messaging from "wear a mask for the good of the people" to one of "if we all wear a mask we can go back to work".

There is also some science behind this:
Based on Japan and Hong Kong, it seems that you don& #39;t have to shut down your economy if everyone wears a mask. I think given the potential real damage of an economic collapse, and that shut downs aren& #39;t working, the best option is legal mandating mask wearing BUT:
Set it up so any law mandating constant mask wearing is *also* tied with a law forbidding curfews and closures of businesses. You switch from a mass scale closure to individual "closures" and tell people the trade off for getting their job back is wearing a mask all the time.
As I said at the beginning of this thread, it is surrounded by the statement that I do *not* believe anything people say for reasons to not wear masks, I am only reporting what I& #39;ve figured out. If my tweets make you angry, go fuck yourself, you& #39;re a fascist too.
