Not long before covid took off, the first case of ebola in the US was confirmed and people flipped the fuck out. I’m fairly certain that if ebola were actually spreading even a little, those same assholes who treated masks like some kind of human rights violation would have been more than ready to quarantine it, lock everything down, and burn the entire affected area to the ground.
Some of those people would have formed a militia to hunt down anyone who they suspected of being infected. It would have been a long, drawn out, paranoid massacre.
There actually were lots of people who started out being like “they are sweeping it under the rug wel are all going to die!” Only to turn around and become anti mask zealots when the public policy controls went into place. Some people really do just have a very childish take on authority of any kind, and I say that as a person who is very skeptical of authority myself.
