The big problem I keep seeing is the morons who wear a mask under their nose. It's difficult to get everybody to wear a mask, and everybody has to wear one for them to be effective. Their likely more effective at trapping viruses going out than coming in, so the people with the mask not covering their noses are likely causing issues even if everybody else is wearing one properly.
I was at the hospital a few months ago and the optometry consultant, with his PhD, had his mask under his nose the whole time.
He was an older guy, maybe late 50s, so more at risk than I was. Apparently not a complete moron either since he managed to get qualified as and promoted to senior doctor.
I have this hypothesis that there's some kind of stupid pandemic going around as well, turning people who were considered to be smart at some point, capable of rational thinking, into at least partial idiots that are in denial of evidence presented to them. I'm not sure what causes this.
Even having an academic doctor title seems to mean little today.
My dentist (former) believes that there's mercury in the mRNA vaccines.
I get why he doesn't like mercury, as he explained to me he's using some tooth fillin
