She's just taking the anti-mask hysteria a step further than the average, run-of-the mill anti-masker, but they're all completely irrational. Her irrationality is of the mass psychosis that has permeated so much of society during the pandemic. These people are willing to sacrifice their own lives and the lives of others — not to mention our country's economic health — for some sick and twisted ideology.
People, including some politicians, are comparing some of the current public health protocols to Hitler's mass extermination of six million Jews — that to be required to wear a protective mask is somehow equivalent to being rounded up by the government and subjected to masochistic tests, starved, and put to death.
Scientific studies have proven over and over that masks inhibit the spread of the virus. They're not 100% effective, but they are highly effective — especially if they meet N95 or KN95 specs. They provide some protection to the wearer and to others if the wearer is infected with covid-19.
Most of us see wearing a mask as a minor inconvenience, but for some, being asked to wear a mask is an overly austere intrusion into our personal liberties, and rather than comply, we should risk death to ourselves and others. If that's not psychosis, I don't know what is.
