It doesn’t make you feel a bit better about not wearing one that most doctors aren’t? If they think the risk is so low, or that continuous mask wearage is more detrimental than covid?

No it does not make me feel better that people that should know better than to not wear a mask in an environment full of sick and immunocompromised people are not wearing masks. And no wearing a mask is not worse than covid holy shit.

There’s nuance there that you’re skipping right over. Continuous mask wearing is detrimental, it has negative consequences.

You can’t hide “masks are worse than covid” anywhere in that slight shade of nuance.

I know a lot of doctors who are overweight/obese, have unhealthy lifestyles, and/or make dumb personal decisions. I go to doctors for their expertise in their fields; that doesn’t mean I’d trust their personal decisions.

Leading cause of death of cardiologists is fucking heart disease. And they know that heart disease is 100% avoidable. It’s actually disturbing to me. If their personal biases are influencing their personal behavior to that degree, are they really going to recommend interventions to their patients that they wouldn’t even bother with to save their OWN lives?

That’s a pretty small amount of doctors though, compared to most doctors who don’t wear masks.

I didn’t deny covid? Lol. Covid is a thing, it exists. I got vaccinated against it and wore a mask up until it was said they’re no longer needed.
