The way that people react to safety guidelines like rebellious teenagers would be almost hilarious if it didn’t get them killed.

I see so many “rebel canners” that are proud that they do shit like dry canning, because the FDA tells them not to. It’s so cool to get botulism because you don’t like daddy government telling you what to do.

The mask bans seem to be that same kind of childish reaction - “you made us wear masks! We’re going to make you not wear masks!”
