There was a point in the pandemic (very early) where saying people should be wearing masks would have been considered misinformation compared to official statements from the CDC. That should be the only argument against this required. Also early on, for way too long, human to human transmission was officially not happening per the WHO.

And when the evidence showed that this advice was misplaced the people who were making those recommendations, in good faith, STOPPED DOING SO. I'm among them. Not that my own comments have a tremedous reach, but I take not intentionally being wrong very seriously. https://joindiaspora.com/posts/a654bef0b15c01385957002590d8e506 https://joindiaspora.com/posts/a654bef0b15c01385957002590d8e... https://joindiaspora.com/posts/3abaa5e03fca0138fcb6002590d8e506 https://joindiaspora.com/posts/3abaa5e03fca0138fcb6002590d8e... Science isn't a pursuit of some ideological or traditional purity. It's a seeking of knowledge and truth. When evidence and understanding change, so does science. What you're advocating for is a group of voices who seem collectively alligned at precisely opposing whatever the weight of evidence demonstrates at any given point in time. And I can assure you that this is a poor guide to truth.
