I never understood the slavish devotion to masks despite the preponderance of data against its efficacy. Vaccines are easy to understand that it is all about the money. The billionaires want it pushed at every opportunity to increase profits and set up future profits. My only guess with masking is that maybe it is just about control and getting people to do what they are told. An item of fear and compliance.

I suspect that this is how absurd but entrenched cultural practices (for example, the Chinese practice of foot binding) get started. Some high status person somewhere decides it's a good idea (whether due to an honest mistake, or due to some weird fetish or phobia), it gains traction due to being associated with high status, and then good luck rooting it out.
