You really don't see an issue with "science" (=people representing groups of scientists on tv) lying to people? "for the greater good"?

But we should still ban people who say otherwise? The first "otherwise" (nutjob conspiracy theorists telling you to wear a mask, no matter what fauci says) or the second "otherwise" (nutjob conspiracy theorists saying that masks are useless)? Which ones should we ban then?

I mean... doing what a youtubeing prepper nutjob said and did, has proven to be safer for you, than following what Fauci (and other local equivalents) say... or you'd atleast have masks, disinfectant and a basement full of toiletpaper and MREs at home, while those listening to Fauci wouldn't.

How can we "trust the science", when "the science" has clearly lied to us? What else is "science" lying about right now?

When the pandemic happened, and I had multiple P100 masks from asbestos removal, I felt pretty comfortable.

....Until I tried to wear them in everyday life. It is even worse than being at a construction site, wearing one of those monstrosities all day
