One of the weird parts of being on CC Reddit is that everyone expects me to be angry at white cishet men when I point out they're a minority in the community.
But I thank them for masking. I tell them I don't know how hard it has been for them, but I am thankful.
Not everything is ragebait, yall.

UPDATE: Canada has announced that it has lost its measles elimination status.
This is a direct result of the increase in anti-vax disinformation, which has caused large, sustained outbreaks in the country over the last year.

Defaulting to surgical masks in health care settings in 2025 is one of the most dissapointing examples of reluctance to change despite overwhelming evidence.
Even defaulting to KN95 style would significantly increase protection of the most vulnerable.
