Oh I know I don't.

There is a new generation of citizen who will grow up with life-long emotional deficits from mask wearing in their formative years.

A recent study found a small piece of matching code in the COVID-19 virus and a synthetic gene for cancer research that Moderna filed a patent for in 2016.

Critics say the finding is not as rare as the study suggests and that it’s likely a coincidence.

The study’s lead author said he hopes the work will lead to further discussion and experiments about the origin of the virus. He did not endorse the claim that it “proves” Moderna created COVID-19
————-/

Even though Moderna did not create the virus in a lab it should give us pause that we in effect go naked into China and share all our tech with them.

There are very good reasons not to use. China for producing
Food
Drugs
Vitamins
Electronics

The US stance should have always been banning imports at a minimum of Food, Drugs, Vitamins from China and other places that lack any form of protections or quality standards on exports

China also has poor security, hygiene, product safety/contamination, workers rights amongst a million other problems with exports

They simply don’t have the framework to deal with anything dangerous competently or with integrity

Unfortunate we didn’t nip the problem in the bud in the 70’s instead we exported all of our knowledge and tech making us incompetent

Not disagreeing about a generation being dramatically impacted, but I think it will be due to the severe disruption in their learning schedules, not masks. The kids I know don't seem to care much one way or the other about masks; it's just something that happened to them.

Compartmentalization.
So either god hates them and it's coincidence or they had a hand in its creation even if unwillingly.
I don't believe in coincidence and never believe anyone using ignorance as a defense.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosopagnosia
Quote:
Developmental [face blindness]
Developmental prosopagnosia (DP), also called congenital prosopagnosia (CP), is a face-recognition deficit that is lifelong, manifesting in early childhood, and that cannot be attributed to acquired brain damage. While developmental prosopagnosia begins early in life, many people do not realize that they have DP until later in their adult lives.
I've seen videos of teachers announcing the end of masking, and the room erupts in joy.

May or may not be detrimental, definitely a comfort annoyance, like sitting on a very fat wallet. Anyone test for data?
