There is already plenty of evidence that masks are useless, and even counterproductive, in the current pandemic. Start with the case numbers of states and countries without mask mandates versus those that do. See the links I provided in the main article.

Likewise, ventilators aren't necessarily effective at treating Covid. Notice the quiet shift from ventilators to oxygen tanks in the medical news.

The principle at hand isn't about being blamed for hogging ventilators or other medical resources.

It's about governments all over the world using the pandemic as an excuse to expand their powers, and conditioning their citizens to become obedient subjects.

Against this, being blamed is nothing.
