Great point. The "2-way is better than 1-way" point was important when middling-efficacy cloth masks were in use. N95+ respirators are *designed* to protect the user as a 1-way solution. 2-way is still superior at popn. level b/c it covers for errors in use, but folks misinterpret this.
1 way is standard (and very effective) in hospitals when working with covid patients! But also you hate disabled people if you don’t wear an n95 every day.
I feel inclined to point out that plenty of disabled people can’t actually wear masks.
Yup totally fair! And those are never the fold downplaying vaccines!
as someone who can get severe head & facial pain from masking, hard echoing this. the experience of vomiting (an action hard to wear a mask during) in public from pain triggered by masking is a major reason i find it so important to talk about & use a diversity of mitigation tools 🤙🏻
I threw up inside my mask once while pregnant and dealing with morning sickness. It was one of the most unpleasant experiences of my entire life. 0/10 do not recommend.
ughhhh i’m so sorry 😵💫 i’ve done it more than once, never pregnant but once on a plane. worst lil club 😩🥂 extreme 0/10
