I think the much deeper reason is, that stupid people can't fathom that knowledge can change. They can't understand that scientists legitimately didn't know better, despite their best efforts. They can't accept, that scientists come to other conclusions based on new data, instead they assume some ulterior motive.
Seems a totally reasonable response when we had folks hoarding and scalping toilet paper. Stay home was always better advice than go out masked, esp at the beginning.
It must have been nice to have that privilege to stay home.
And folks who could not were folks who needed masks - not sure why this is so hard.
Also - that's your goto? Shaming folks for doing what was recommended when they could? How did we even get here from pretending Fauci was doing anything other than dispensing what was believed to be the best advice available at the time.
What a ridiculous response. Please just move along. I know I am.
