Fauci would probably get a better response if he said “Don’t wear masks so the lib cameras can track you”.
All of a sudden masks sell out everywhere.
Seriously use reverse psychology.
Someone else mentioned this today and I’ve thought it for ages. Trump missed a huge opportunity to sell MAGA masks by going on the anti-mask train.
Be glad of that. If the MAGA folks had been wearing masks on Jan-6, they’d have been a lot harder for the DOJ to identify and arrest.
I’m leaning towards having the CDC recommend these people don’t jump off a bridge so we can just get rid of this nonsense.
Homer: “Reverse Psychology? Oh that sounds too complicated.”
Homer’s Brain: “Fine. DON’T use reverse psychology.”
Homer: “OK I WILL!!”Yeah, they really marketed masks wrong in the beginning. Hell, think of how much more traction Trump could’ve had by marketing masks this way. AND he could have sold a shitton of branded MAGA masks.
Or simply just say “no need to wear masks” and conservatives will suddenly be all for masking up.
That would actually be a more effective use of cheap masks too.
I am the only person at my gym who consistently takes steps to keep myself safe.
I wish everyone did, but I know better. There was a two-week period in June 2020 when Kansas City reopened without a mask mandate, and the carelessness on display told me everything I need to know. And then we had the Delta variant, whose epicenter was Springfield, Missouri.
People are disgusting. I 100% trust people to do the wrong thing.

If it’s not a requirement these knuckleheads aren’t gonna do it. Either make it a mandate or just let nature take its course.
Considering we are in Presidential campaign season here in the US it will be interesting to see if the current administration is willing to take the risk of letting its officials talk too loudly about something that is radically unpopular among likely voters.
I would be fine with the latter option if letting nature run its course didn’t involve a side of “vulnerable people getting affected”
People will abide if they want to. The best way to make people refuse would be to “require masks”.
