Plus masks aren’t 100% barriers anyay. Still going to be exposed to some, just less. Honestly ongoing limited mask usage in large public spaces just makes sense.
I was thinking more in terms of general microbes and illnesses, I’m not advocating for going maskless in front of COVID, the risk is too high. Still, thank you for the link, learn something new every day, though it doesn’t dissuade the idea that more exposure is bad, just that vaccines should be used first. The dialogue here was about going out with a mask everywhere, not whether or not you should be vaccinated.
That’s not true. In fact, exposure to disease is more likely to cause lasting harm than non-exposure. Get a vaccine, not sick.
