We wear seat belts in a car and an aeroplane, many sports people wear protective clothing such as cricketers or rugby players, many, many people wear protective items in order to do their jobs, surgeons have always worn masks when operating, so just what the objections are to wearing a mask I don’t understand. Some people say they’re uncomfortable but since other people wear masks or other protective items that undoubtedly are not totally comfortable, I can’t understand their objections. I think it’s part of the me, me, me society that we live in today, along with the same frankly stupid objections to having the vaccine. My daughter had to have the Hep B vaccine when she was at medical school, and since she’s moved to New Zealand, she’s had to have the Pfizer vaccine in order to practice as a GP. No argument, she had to have it in order to practice.
I understand that a few people can’t have the vaccine for medical reasons, but they would be better protected by everyone else having it.
