They’re scared of businessmen exposing the system with another “your grandparents are happy to sacrifice themselves for the economy” moment, so they’re preemptively getting rid of anything that makes people think their health is in danger, thus no demand for protections and restrictions
Republicans will latch onto anything and turn it into an attack, and because democrats are bitches who don’t want to fight, they’d rather fold than to prove that their policies work. Same people who demanded people pay more for gas to beat putler btw

A bigger reason for masks is that Israel and its supporters regularly doxx and harass critics. The Likud fans have learned some tricks from Scientology. I have friends who are peace activists who have received face-to-face abuse, and in some cases their employers have received anonymous calls accusing them of antisemitism.
