This is just bananas, it's not hard to wear the mask. We simply aren't at the numbers of vaccinated to be making these calls.

If masks are really saving lives, how come third world countries aren't full of dead people? - They don't wear masks, social distance or have vaccines.

No idea why, but maybe the same reason the flu is not as much of an issue there as it is in developed countries ? Masks are proven to lower transmission rates for covid.

Where are you getting data the the flu is less severe in developing countries? The data I'm finding shows the complete opposite https://championtraveler.com/news/the-us-flu-season-is-bad-t...
