In line with all the decrees and mumbo jumbo from " experts" in the medical profession and the government I wore a mask ,as it was supposed to be worn,through long and uncomfortable hot summers,all around,victims,mainly unfit from lifestyle choices or infirm from a long life,many burning candles at ...

...both ends, who succumbed to illnesses of all descriptions,most avoidable,but with one constant thread,all were labelled "Covid" in order to justify the extraordinary restrictions imposed unilaterally.The current virtue signalling of continuing to wear masks in daily life is the result of how successful some of the people were fooled all of the time.

We got Covid in Italy at a big Christmas lunch last December from my wife's cousins, who had just had it but were clear!!!!! Erveryone there got it. One thing we had noticed during the mask wearing period was that none of us got colds or Flu, we did not use useless FP2s.

Unfortunately it will take time for people to revert to not wearing masks ,as, in all countries the protection. offered by a piece of cloth ,normally slung under the nose,for a basically ,uncomfortable bout of flu ,was vastly overrated by authorities desperate for their populations to show a sign...

... of compliance to their decrees,hence,wearing a mask.

Absolutely spot on , and it’s been proven now that mask protection was negligible and made no difference to transmission. It was just another optic to “ frighten the pants” of everyone to keep them compliant. wear a mask if it makes you feel better but I will never cover my mouth agsin.

"it’s been proven now that mask protection was negligible and made no difference to transmission"

Have you got an official link to qualify that statement and not some unknown Facebook group??

And so the tit for tat covid conspiracy theorists/anti-vaccer’s/anti-maskers vs the vast majority of those who followed government and experts advice at the time starts again…..

Let the debate begin (yet again)…👏

It's only helpful, Steve, if the links are current - try this one, dated February 2023, instead:
