Plague Turns Thoroughgoing Relativists Into Fanatic Absolutists
A public service announcement part of the New York Tough propaganda campaign insists that one does not wear a mask because it is the LAW but because it is the law of nature.

It is stated in a PSA that concealing one’s countenance is not so much about preventing the spread of illness but rather about “showing respect”.
At the conclusion, it is revealed that this propaganda is being spewed by the State of New York.

So if it is acceptable for the Cuomo regime to spread this message beyond the boundaries of the Empire State, perhaps the State of Florida needs to produce a similar spot extolling the virtues of individuality where each person should be allowed to decide for themselves whether or not a mask is the best way to address what we are repeatedly indoctrinated ad nauseam to the point of nausea is a public health crisis.
