4. Yeah, wearing a mask suppresses your immune system

I hardly believe that you’re suppressing your immune system in any quantifiable manner by wearing a mask when you got to the store for an hour or two once or twice a week for the next year or two.

Me personally, I’m 40 and my immune system is well adapted at this point in my life. Being cautious for a year or so will not change that.

As far as being called “sheep” for wearing a mask, these guys are just as much “sheep” for following their fox news bullshit.
