Being anti-mask isn't "unauthentic or disingenuous skepticism". I've yet to hear a compelling argument why a fully vaccinated individual has any business wearing a mask. I've also yet to see any real data that shows that most masks worn do anything beyond being a placebo.

All these studies conducted around masks are being done in the heat of the moment in a highly politically charged environment. Releasing a study that says masks don't work will get the authors labeled as "anti-science" and probably destroy their careers. All the studies performed prior to this mess were inconclusive, at best.

Just because you disagree with somebody doesn't make that person anti-science and doesn't make them dangerous, "disingenuous" or "unauthentic". People have plenty of good reasons to call BS on almost all of our mitigations.

There is no compelling argument. They constantly keep shifting the goal posts whenever asked genuine questions. The definition of "vaccine" is even being redefined by a couple of these radical groups.
