Well it doesnt help that studies post covid restrictions found many of said restrictions where ineffective. Masks tho we have good evidance they work at least.

Masks are more effective in protecting others if you are sick, rather than protecting yourself if others are sick. We should have the attitude that protecting others is good.

They still do reduce transmission to yourself but yeah, the big win is in not spreading it yourself.

My favorite metaphor for the subject: If you're wearing pants, it's really hard to piss on other people.
